"Terminal Day" is a composition written for a movie which represents an action scene, frenetic and energetic in which the hero chases the last rebel robot to put an end to the massacres that have been made after humans have lost control.

A New Day

This track is dedicated to my Dad, Joseph "Skip" Reymann, whose love of classical and cinematic music inspired to me to compose.  He was the first one to introduce me to a DAW, and he always supported my musical endeavors.  I miss you a lot, Dad, so this one is for you!

"Arioso" for piano Album out now.

I have again the immense pleasure of presenting you a piece by Jean-Pierre Dubois (JiPé) which was composed by him back in 1985 when he was 38 years old....he had the kindness of sharing this composition with me which is more in a style of the Romantic era....
I hope you will enjoy listening to my performance of it.....

Résurgences by Jean - Pierre Dubois

The following is once again the source for this concerto:

[...... The Six Brandenburg Concertos
[...... and the Four Orchestral Suites
[...... in Full Score
[...... Published by Dover, 1976
[...... ISBN 0-486-23376-6
[...... Library of Congress Catalog Number 76-12016

Although this was written as a Violin Concerto,
I thought I would try to blend some other instruments together
to make it sound a little bit like a music box, or an old timey Polyphon:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polyphon


So the substitutions ran like this:

-----ORIGINAL: = LOGIC:

-----Violino    I = Accoustic Guitaro
-----Violino   II = Roundback Accoustic
-----Violino  III = Bluegrass Banjo

-------Viola    I = String Decay
-------Viola   II = String Tub
-------Viola  III = 80s Wave Synth

-Violincello    I = Fast Pad
-Violincello   II = Droplet Harp
-Violincello  III = Alien Lead

Violine e Cembalo = Basses


In the process as I neared completion, 
I occasionally found that, after I had done a SAVE
I then realized that I had DELETED a whole track.
So, by the time I had finished making this,
I had wished I had selected something else besides the mallets.
They were beginning to take their toll on my eardrums.

ALSO: When I was in high school, I bought a little book of Bach's 2 Part Inventions that also included the Brandenburg Concertos. I transcribed this particular tune as a piano piece. This one I played well over a thousand times and probably only got through it twice without making a mistake. As such, my mom estimates that number to be much more...poor thing.

Addendum:
I had just posted this on SC when I played it for my mom.
She passed away within a couple of weeks after that,
but she was never one to go on about these soundtracks I would make.
On this particular one though, for the first time ever,
she said, "Turn it up a little bit."

Now coming from her, that was high praise.

Brandenburg 3 Movement 1

This composition was inspired by a reading of the poem, "The Swan" by Mary Oliver.

The Swan

Did you too see it, drifting, all night, on the black river?
Did you see it in the morning, rising into the silvery air -
An armful of white blossoms,
A perfect commotion of silk and linen as it leaned
into the bondage of its wings; a snowbank, a bank of lilies,
Biting the air with its black beak?
Did you hear it, fluting and whistling
A shrill dark music - like the rain pelting the trees - like a waterfall
Knifing down the black ledges?
And did you see it, finally, just under the clouds -
A white cross Streaming across the sky, its feet
Like black leaves, its wings Like the stretching light of the river?
And did you feel it, in your heart, how it pertained to everything?
And have you too finally figured out what beauty is for?
And have you changed your life?

So Says the Swan

Sometimes it's just so Damn hard to say Goodbye.
When you know 
Dreams age gone
Feelings unclear
Do you hold on 
for something that you thought was there?

Hard To Say Goodby

Hard To Say Goodbye

In Spirit

This piece contains all the love I have felt and still feel for all those who I love! and have loved, where there is love there is hope!!

Music is a great unifier.  Through music, we bridge the gap between race, gender, age, etc., to raise our unified voice, the voice of the human race.  I am thankful for making friends from around the world through music, and I thank these friends for embracing me as I am.  We can't allow people to suffer oppression based on differences.  Instead, we should leverage our differences to make the world stronger and better, and build each other up instead of tearing each other down.  We are one people.  Love, not hate, is the answer.

Thanks for stopping by my page!  I compose music for all types of media in multiple genres, but favor cinematic orchestral or orchestral-synth hybrids with a strong melody.  I'm currently furthering my skills at Berklee College of Music Online, scored the end credits for the Indie film short "Sides," have music available in various film libraries, and have won awards in several film scoring contests, most notably the "Emerging Composer Diversity Award for Outstanding Achievement in Music Composition" in the Marvin Hamlisch Film Scoring Competition 2018.  You can contact me via Soundcloud or my website listed below if you have need of some custom original or sync music from my library.  Happy listening!

Since 1984 I am composing and recording electronic instrumental music of different styles like ambient, soundtracks, pop, new classics, or noise improvisations. "Studio Lupus Polaris" is the pseudonym of my home studio and of my musical non-profit activities.

Thanks to all for listening!
