eyes half closed

A short film traversing the obscure mind of a young man struggling with depression, directed by Keiran Bray-Norgate, staring Andrew Tomazos and featuring an original score by Eyes Half Closed.

Eyes Half Closed has been the creative outlet of a Melbourne based composer for the last seven years, with a focus on emotional piano and orchestral based music - music which is made with loving care and designed to tug at your hearstrings. The name is a reference to when inspiration often strikes, repeatedly in the late hours; and indeed even sleep must wait when the ideas are flowing.

All the music you'll find here is free; all I ask is that you share it far and wide. Because music is a powerful transformitive force like few others. It's a soundtrack to our moments of love, laughter and loss, it carries intrinsic connections to times, places and memories. And as a composer, that's all I can hope for; that someone, somewhere is listening. And perhaps for them, that moment is better for it.

For non-profit projects, free use of music is generally allowed; just get in touch first to seek permission and to describe your project. For commercial projects, I can offer competetive rates to suit films, games and all kinds of online media, of diverse budgets.

I can also compose an original score, to take your project to the next level. You can find some examples of my scoring work, such as on the short films 'Handprints' and 'The Third Wish' here. Get in touch with me through the contact form at the top of the page, to find out more.
