Ambitious pieces. This is too big for me but I'm diving in anyway...
Winter Leaves My Heart Unclosed
0:04:29
My first symphonic orchestral work, based on a simple three-chord progression, reharmonized across five instrumental sections using classical techniques.
The music is inspired by the harshness of winter, which leaves many mentally exhausted. We must support and care for each other... some hearts won't see the spring.
I'm working on the next movements... This is the first AA section. I hope to share the scores later but as winter fades, my spirit may change.

Concertino for bass flute model & synths. This piece articulate a deep ASMR synth background representing the call from the sea with a brave soloing flute. Inspired by historic photographies from the "Hiercheuses" in western europe and their biological uprooting. I was decided to wrote a third part but leaving it to the synth gives some space.

Short research steps that emerge during work. I might use these for a more sophisticated piece, but most of the time, I still don’t know how.

It could start as a Hip hop track, but then sadness took over, making it feel a bit desperate. It turns into an exploration of the specific sound of the Rhodes piano.

In English, 'marauder' typically refers to someone who roams around in search of opportunities. In French, 'maraude' also refers to searching for people to help. I like this word a lot.

I don't what this sound stand for. A Tribal beat with few synths tell us to urge.

Migration of the butterfly

This was an exercise. To practice melodic writing, I forced myself to write automatically, without looking back, trying to move from one thing to another. I stopped because I was tired, but I learned a lot and used a few ideas in the 'The Line' project.

Naif synth

A very naive experiment with harmony using VCV Rack to explore a harmonic movement around the IIm -> VIIM progression... but I liked the atmosphere. It uses a special note distribution to create the effect, though I've lost the trick.

Just some virtual modular synth experimentation. My first saved output. It creates an amazing acoustic illusion as the beat seems to move constantly, but it is actually always perfectly out of sync in the same way.

It's with a bit of emotion that I share this first classical orchestration work with you.
The challenge was to write a cinematic piece that could be performed by a small five-part orchestra.
I hope you'll like it?

Since I started exploring Mastodon, I found it quite paradoxical: I've discovered a fascinating community with many great music accounts—my ears are pleased—but at the same time, it feels a bit like a desert where everyone is shouting alone. The place feels cold.

About
Lucy Waterz does not exist.
The name is a metaphor inspired by the aquatic ape hypothesis. Behind it, I aim to explore storytelling through digital music: evoking emotions, painting scenes, and crafting cinematic narratives.
This is a modest composition project, honestly, I don't know where I'm going with this; it's mainly exploratory and experimental, and its form and objectives may evolve over time. This project serves as my playground to learn sound synthesis, and experiment with open-source tools. By sharing this work process, I hope to open doors for collaborations.
I've been learning sound synthesis since October 2024.
I especially enjoy composing soundtracks for coding—immersive, evolving pieces designed to enhance deep focus and creative flow. In the future, I aspire to create soundtracks for theater productions or short films.
Why support me?
I distribute my work under a free license, making it accessible to all. Your support helps me continue composing and pushing this project forward.

Friends
Special thanks to Alain Wergifosse, who taught me so much; Sigma, my sister in mind; my two dearest Hervé(s); my children; and Crevard d'Amour, who all sustained and blew on the fires, and still do.
I’d also like to thank Olivier Guyaux, whose exhibition "Déesses et Hiercheuses" deeply moved me, and who kindly allows me to use his images.
