VASSILIKI – MUSE – Meditative Music Cover

MUSE is a cosmic meditative composition by Vassiliki Papaioannou, inspired by and dedicated to the Nine Muses of Mythology.

The typeface specifically designed for Vasiliki’s visual identity and also used in MUSE is inspired by ancient Egyptian symbols, combining mysterious spirituality with modern aesthetics. These symbols, with their deep symbolic value, were skillfully integrated into the design, giving the work the sense of eternity and mystery it deserves, while simultaneously radiating a modern aura that blends the past with the present.

The daughters of Zeus and Mnemosyne (Remembrance) gave us humans the gift of inspiration and art. Art connects the Human with the Divine. This is the source of inspiration for this composition, which aims to explore the essence between Woman and Goddess, between the Physical and the Ethereal.

MUSE was presented in the UK as the Main Presentation Project for the first degree (BA Hons New Music & Media) that Vassiliki completed at UCLan, and received an 88% Distinction (while 70% is considered the highest score one can be awarded), as an innovative composition, also leading to a scholarship for her MA By Research in Musical Composition.

It had its official world premiere at the World Unity Week of Unity Earth, was featured by 160 global networks, and independently released across all digital platforms.

Recently, it was distinguished in the audition for potential film scores by internationally emerging film composers, of the music department of the Cannes Festival, and was included in the Final Cinematic Playlist of 2023.
