Today I would like to introduce you to Reza Safinia with this exclusive premiere of a piece titled “Within” from his upcoming, self-released Yin album. He’s got a fascinating background, with names such as Destiny’s Child, Britney Spears, Akala and even Dr Dre appearing on his curriculum vitae. But this is not a pop record – I wouldn’t feature that on Headphone Commute, right? Rather, the album collects compositions influenced by romantic classical music (Satie and Debussy are quoted) with a touch of cinematic electronica, which Safinia incorporated from his extensive background in film music (he’s scored a few Hollywood productions, such as The Trust and Mercy). There is an influence of the spiritual and eastern philosophies on the record (Safinia is a yoga teacher and a practising Daoist), and its reflection can be glimpsed in the album title itself. Of course, there is a second half, appropriately named Yang, which will be published later in the year, but for now, we have eleven gentle, peaceful, slightly melancholic and overwhelmingly beautiful tracks, with the album’s opener featured here today.

Hiroco.M - Still

Version for VST instruments.
The third part of the neo-Baroque suite "Revisité", inspired by works by Antoine Forqueray (1672-1745).

Cover by Jan Goedart (1617 - 1668) from book "Metamorphosis Naturalis".

Revisité: Modéré.

Dmitry Burtsev (b. 1992, Moscow, Russia), composer, sound artist, improviser. 

His current artistic research is primarily focused on human perception of sound both within and outside of a musical context in relation to affect theory. Dmitry explores the sonic environment of human habitation through the field recordings and transforms the latter into his music pieces. Another point of his musical interests lies in spoken word and language as the point of departure for a musical thought, which is at the same time influenced by years of accordion practice and free improvisation. Through an ongoing contemplation on memory and  the process of forgetting, Dmitry reflects on the European and non-European tradition in music history in search to understand the present reality through compositional tools and musical discourse.

Dmitry studied composition at the Moscow State Tchaikovsky Conservatory with professor V.G.Tarnopolsky, from where he graduated in 2017. Additional studies include master classes with Oscar Bianchi, Fabien Levy, and Carola Bauckholt at the International Composers Academy in Tchaikovsky city in Russia in 2016. Since 2017, Burtsev has taken on the role of assistant of the composer Sergei Newski, which provided Dmitry with invaluable experience and advanced his professional skills.

Dmitry’s music was performed by various professional ensembles and performers, such as: Studio for New Music, Moscow Contemporary Music Ensemble (MCME), ensemble Kymatik, L.G.Zykina State Ensemble of Russian Folk Instruments, Pavlos Antoniadis, Sergei Tchirkov, Natalia Pshenichnikova and others. 

Since 2017 Burtsev starts writing music for theatres, such as Moscow Chekhov Art Theater, Moscow Academic Theatre of Vladimir Mayakovsky, Norilsk Polar Drama Theatre and others.

In 2017, he won the Open Space competition at the Museum of Cosmonautics, where he got a chance to collaborate with the Zykina State Ensemble of Russian Folk Instruments. In 2020, he became a laureate of the Russian Music 2.0 program and wrote the piece Revisité for MCME.

Dmitry is also the author of interdisciplinary musical performances, in which he brings together performing arts, free improvisation, collage combinations of contemporary art- and popular music and field recordings. Most of these performances resulted from a collaboration with the Vadim Sidur Museum (Moscow).

In 2022 Dmitry left Russia and currently is based in Tbilisi, Georgia

In 2024, Dmitry started a master's program at Robert Schumann University in Düsseldorf under the supervision of Professor José María Sánchez-Verdu.
