Duduk is just wonderful! It stroke me immediately when I heard it live for the first time during the Atlas Academy in Amsterdam. Since then I keep on writing pieces for duduk in combination with other instruments or for duduk solo

Pieces with duduk

New song (work-in-progress), so please comment if you have suggestions or advice;) Or if you just want to comment on the song in general.

Another time (still holding on) - Work in progress

The piece was created with the intension to let the listener dive into the simplicity and depth of the sound, its beauty and continuity, to let the listener tune him/herself on a beautiful tone.

"Healing" by Igor Iofe

"Achter Mij" is an internal monologue in which all inner forces are displayed. The driving force is the duduk and everything else is to enlarge, oppose or support the world the duduk creates.

Healing

Igor Iofe is a
composer whose musical
paths lead to diverse stylistic destinations. Currently Igor's focus in music is Armenian traditional duduk repertoire which he performs on trumpet. He brings the beauty and warmth of the duduk into his trumpet playing.

At the Conservatorium van Amsterdam he studied with  Wim Hendrickx,Richard Ayres,  Fabio Nieder,Willem Jeths and Jorrit Tamminga. Igor attended masterclasses with Misato Mochizuki, Dmitry Kourliandski, Tristan Murail andTan Dun. His music was performed at the Composers’ Festival Amsterdam (2012 and 2013), Atlas Academy (2010-12),  Looptail XXX and at such venues as De Link, De Duif, Het Bethaniënklooster, Het Veem, STEIM, Muziekgebouw aan 't Ij and CvA in Amsterdam and other cities of the Netherlands. His piece Y+Ywas performed by the Joint Venture Percussion Duo at several venues in the USA and Europe.

Parallel to his Classical Composition studies Igor studied Composing Music for Film with Jurre Haanstra and graduated as a Master in Composing for FIlm at the CvA. During his studies he wrote music for several movies which were shown at the Beeldbuis Filmfestival, Keep an Eye Film Festival, VERS Awards, Cinekid Filmfestival, M2M Filmfestival and Pleinbioscoop Rotterdam.

Igor is one of the organisers of the Toets des Tijds Concert Series

528Hz is an ensemble with a very unusual and beautiful sound: duduk, theremin, trumpet and saxophone quartet

The ensemble was founded in May 2013 as a continuation of their successful premiere of the piece “Healing” by Igor Iofe on the Composers’ Festival Amsterdam. 528Hz is formed by musicians with very different backgrounds yet united by the idea of tuning together with their audience on positive wave. The folk sound of the duduk, the ethereal sound of the theremin, the jazz trumpet and versatile sound of the saxophone quartet all together create a large pallet for composers’ experiment.
