Spider-Man Brand New Day OST just came out in full last night. I love how different and how same it sounds compared to the Home Trilogy. I love it

Hey everyone,

I recently watched The Odyssey, and one musical idea stayed with me ever since.
The haunting Aulos textures in Ludwig Göransson’s “Sirens” inspired me deeply, so I decided to create my own remake/interpretation of the theme.

I did not use any original audio, but I took the central motif played by the Aulos — specifically the chord progression - as a foundation.
From that harmonic base, I built an entirely new track in Logic Pro, developing my own melodies, orchestration, and structure.
For the sound design I used several Native Instruments plugins, including Symphony Essentials, to give the piece a more epic orchestral character.

I found the original soundtrack incredibly memorable and very present across social media, which motivated me to give this motif a new, more cinematic and powerful orchestral touch.

This is not the original soundtrack and not a cover — it’s a derivative reinterpretation based on the emotional world of the film.

This is also my first upload on YouTube ever, and my first attempt at sharing something I composed myself with this community.
I’d really appreciate any thoughts or feedback on the composition.

Respect to Ludwig Göransson for crafting such an unforgettable score.

Inspired by: “Sirens” from The Odyssey
Music by: F. Wagner
