Music
Improvisations
Trombones and Other Instruments
- Interrupted (working title)
trombone, drums, melodica
- Puppy Killer
trombone improvisation
One improvised track, using a loop delay.
- Incidental Fugue
trombone improvisation
One improvised track, superimposed over itself. This improvisation was
originally intended to stand on its own, but experimenting with it showed
that the form that had evolved in the improvised session was perfectly
suitable to edit into a fugue-like structure.
- Atheistisches Kurzgebet
trombone and spoken word
This composition was created by recording short trombone loops on top
of each other, and then improvising a free-tonal piano solo and three sessions
of pseudo-philosophical spoken word, each with a slightly different character.
- Meditation 15 (02-12-2009)
trombone
Several trombone improvisations, recorded one after the other.
Compositions
- 1uhr58
My mind seems to work best in the middle of the night; this composition is
the result of an all-nighter, and 1:58 is the time when I had recorded all the
important parts.
- 2008-04-08
This tune uses the melodica for the lead part, an instrument which
fascinates me for having astounding expressive possibilities despite
its obvious limitations.
- Landó para la humanidad
Landó is an Afro-Peruvian style of music, revolving around the cajón, Peru's
instrument of national pride. This is my take at it, using trombone, piano, cajón
and bass.
When I left elementary school "Het Kruispunt" as a trombone teacher, I recorded a few improvisations as a gift to the children.
From a collection of 12 miniatures, one for each month, and each based on
a painting by one of Fine Art's finest.
