RECORDINGS | Live performances
Casa del Vuoto forms part of the soundtrack for the film “For an Empty Tunic, for a Helen” composed in 2018.
Près de L'eau (By Water), conceived in May of 2017 and hatched in August that year, this piece of piano music reminds Belinda of flowing water. The image it conjured as she listened to it was that of people as trees planted by water. It is dedicated to Belinda’s friend and colleague Prof. Ada Rapoport-Albert.
Written in December 2016, this lullaby was originally intended as a duet for two voices. In this version it is performed by Ye Gyeong Lim (first violin) and Ye Bin Lim (second violin).
Landscapes Within
These four recordings are of the first performance of the corpus 'Landscapes Within' composed by Belinda É. Samari. They were performed in 'Landscapes Within: Experience the Music' as part of UCL's Festival of the Arts on 29 May, 2014.
"Belinda’s concert was a revelation to me. When I first heard about ‘Landscapes Within’ I thought this would be an interesting experiment that I would love to explore. Instead I found myself in a wonderful journey of life, from melancholic separation to the conquest of happiness and from the uncertain horizons of something new to the abyss of a possible failure. Belinda’s music is a palette of emotions that exist in each one of us waiting to be remembered. From the purity of the blue sea to the innocence of transparent marbles, this was an exploration of oneself with dark moments of solitude and bright touches of immortality. Belinda has composed the circle of life decorated with flowers, flying butterflies and a rainbow of magic." - Antony M.
We are all Trojans
'We are all Trojans...' is a staged reading of C. Cavafy's poems inspired by Homeric epics. Belinda was commissioned to write roughly one minute-long pieces to accompany the reading, exploring different emotions represented in various scenes of Homer's Iliad.
