composer

In addition to releasing original music as a singer-songwriter, Clara also loves composing music for musical theatre and film/TV.

In 2018, she composed for her first musical “WHODUNNIT!” (written and performed by The 13th Story Productions, a company born from the Douglas/Capilano 2018/19 BPA Cohort). Clara wrote and produced the score, and was also the co-lyricist for the show.

“WHODUNNIT!” was the project that introduced her to music production and creating music through Logic Pro. Since then, she continued her education in music production and continued her work in both music production and composition.

For her recent work, she wrote and produced the original song “Sailor Boy” in 2022 for the short film of the same name by Riku Watanabe, she was the composer of the short film “Time Capsule” directed by Ricardo (which she also acted in) that premiered at the 2022 Run N Gun festival, and she currently has a new original musical in the works with initial workshop stages expected to start in fall of 2023.

standalone compositions

Clara’s standalone composition titled “Pink Moon Waltz” is the first instrumental track in her streaming catalogue, and was released on May 19th, 2023.

This piece is made up entirely of layered vocal harmonies (with one note from a singing bowl) and is reminiscent of the scores of Danny Elfman, Lord of the Rings, and early Barbie movies.
