Byrne Elliott Music has received two honors in the CLOUZINE International Music Awards – Fall 2026, with “Haunted Love” named Best Classical Track and “Olympic Destiny” named Best Cinematic Track.
The two recognitions highlight different sides of the Olympia, Washington-based project. “Haunted Love” leans into a more classical palette built from piano, strings, flute, ondes Martenot, harpsichord, synthesizer and waterphone, while “Olympic Destiny” takes a more cinematic instrumental approach centered on ambition and determination.
“I’m grateful to have both works recognized. Each began with a different musical idea, so it is especially meaningful to see them honored together.” — Byrne Elliott
Two tracks, two different sides of the same project
That contrast is what makes the pairing notable. Byrne Elliott Music has consistently worked across contemporary classical and cinematic instrumental territory, and these two awards recognize both ends of that range rather than reducing the project to one lane.
