Manos Milonakis - The Stuff We Are Made Of (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack) (2026)

Composer Siamak Etemadi created the original soundtrack for his documentary feature "The Stuff We Are Made of," which premiered at the Athens International Film Festival and received a theatrical release in Greece in 2025. Written between Thessaloniki and Reykjavík during the summer of 2025, the score accompanies the film's exploration of love, intimacy, and human connection through restrained, intimate musical language. Rather than imposing emotions, the music establishes a quiet presence that allows the characters' stories to unfold organically.
The composition balances acoustic and electronic elements, combining traditional instruments—piano, harmonium, vibraphone, marimba, and cello—with synthesizers and subtle digital textures. The recording sessions featured contributions from percussionist Emilia Triantafyllidou and cellist Stella Tempreli, whose performances enriched the score with an intimate and deeply human quality. This blend of live instrumentation and electronic layers creates a distinctive sonic landscape that supports the documentary's emotional and thematic core.
