Original score from the 2024 sci-fi short directed by Emre Okten, produced by ICVR (USA).

THE STORY: Centuries before its discovery, a candle maker from 1600s faces an electric world and goes on a journey to find light.

THE SCORE: “Lightfall is an extraordinary animated journey that traverses space and time, weaving through various historical epochs across our planet. Working closely with director Emre Okten, we recognized the need for a musical foundation that could anchor this expansive narrative while maintaining coherence throughout. Our solution was to craft a contemporary orchestral score with whimsical elements, designed to feel timeless while featuring an evolving central theme that unfolds alongside the film’s revelatory narrative arc. The magnificent FAMES orchestra brought this vision to life, delivering a performance that beautifully captures the film’s essence and emotional depth.” – Raphaël Dargent
