In Every Living Breathing Moment, composer Grant Steller captures the quiet intensity of human observation and the fleeting beauty of daily life. Written for film, this piece mirrors the journey of a man who, lost in routine and insulated behind his Polaroid camera, discovers the urgency of truly experiencing the world around him. The music moves between introspective stillness and bursts of vivid motion, reflecting both the character’s internal hesitation and the profound realization that life’s significance often lies in its smallest, most ephemeral moments. Through delicate orchestration and emotional nuance, Steller’s score transforms ordinary experiences into a sensory exploration, inviting the audience to pause, notice, and cherish the present.
This film and its score have become a viral sensation on TikTok and Instagram, capturing audiences worldwide with their emotional immediacy and relatability. By presenting this work in a concert setting, the SGV Symphony envisions a future where the concert hall and the cinema exist as the same sanctuary for all voices. Orchestral performance elevates film and cinematic storytelling inspires live music. This approach redefines the boundaries of both mediums, creating immersive experiences that engage audiences in new ways and celebrating the power of music to amplify every story.
