DC Animation Showcase: "Death"

This was my first foray into animation scoring. I am a big fan of DC Comics, and this animation had a profound impact on me, offering inspiration and deep reflection. The way it presents the theme of death in such a gentle, kind manner is quite rare in film and television.

Musically, since this segment is the last part of the animation and the point where emotional impact is most needed, the most appropriate approach was to fully convey the main theme melody along with the visuals to the audience. The primary instrumentation used was strings, primarily to match the sorrowful emotions needed for the scene where a person on the brink of death reflects on their failed life. The lamenting tone that strings can express fits perfectly with the mood of this scene.
