Winning Move: The Queen's Gambit Rescore | Joshua Kyan Aalampour

This is an orchestral rescore I composed inspired by the hit Netflix series "The Queen's Gambit". The original melody wouldn't stop playing in my head while I was watching the show. I orchestrated some of it for fun and uploaded my draft to TikTok. To my surprise, the video blew up, with 2.9 million views as of 11/24/2021. Because of this, I finished the composition and titled it "Winning Move". I am also submitting this piece as part of my graduate school portfolio for a Master's in film scoring. Wish me luck! :) Original TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@joshuaaalampour/video/6937068742019009797 Full Score: https://www.joshuakyan.com/product-page/winning-move-complete-orchestral-score-digital-pdf Full recording: https://open.spotify.com/album/17zTsmTo6DR8AK9Hajbux7

Symphony No. 1 in G Minor: I. Molto allegro (Introduction) | Joshua Kyan Aalampour

This is the introduction to the 1st movement of my 1st symphony in G minor. The full piece is scored in 4 movements and is about an hour in length. My university's orchestra was kind enough to perform the 1st movement. This was my very first time working with a real orchestra. I am beyond grateful for everyone who made this possible. This was one of the most memorable nights of my life - thank you to each and every single one of the performers, the conductor, and the different professors for making this dream come true.

Adventures of My Life Captured Through My Lens

Since August of 2016, I have documented parts of my life on YouTube. What originally started as a satirical skit channel ultimately turned into a passion for film-making. My videos tracked my period as a foreigner in China during my 7-year stay there. Despite taking a 3-year hiatus from producing a single video, I have returned with a new documentary series called "The Vlog". The Vlog documents the various adventures of my life and serves as a time capsule for my future self.
