Hi. I'm student Bachelor of Music at the Utrecht School of Music and Technology. In the coming years I'm determined to bring a new sound into live electro-acoustic / contemporary classical music.

This is a minimal music piece in which a wind instrument and a piano together create polyrhythmic patterns, which means for example that the piano can play a small 3 counts loop and the wind instrument a 20 counts loop. The harmonies and melody slowly evolve. There’s also a focus on volume dynamics. There’s some [...]
