Ioana Șelaru

Ioana Selaru is a classically trained film music composer and violinist born in Romania. Her compositions include original scores composed for short films, documentaries and animations, but her portfolio stretches out far from the traditional media, covering music production for art installations and exhibitions. Rooted in her classical upbringing and breathing the fresh vision of the contemporary landscape, her signature works are marked by unusual combinations of instruments and sounds, designed to strike that particular emotional chord in the audience, vital for the cinematic work to be complete. This delicate sensitivity to the realm of human feelings is also due to the fact that she never left her passion for the violin, instead she uses it to create unique and unexpected sound elements from her favourite instrument.
