I like this music infinitely - it creates wonderful sensations

Here are some pieces of classical music and classical stylecopies I composed over the years. See also my fake Soundcloud attributed to The Eckmann Family!
Generations of one composer family that never existed ;-)

Classical Music and Classical Stylecopies I Composed (see also The Eckmann Family!)

In this modest menuet I salute Beethoven, having been born 250 years ago now, and all he did for the world and for me personally. 
i ofcourse used a fortepiano. Enjoy.

(Stylecopy by Sipke Hoekstra, also known as 'The Eckmann Family' and Fugitempus. Early Beethoven Period imitation.)

Minuet for Ludwig van Beethoven

Birthday Minuet for Ludwig van Beethoven

What would Friedrich Burgmüller have been up to during lock down? 
He would probably have written something like this.
Used the magnificent UVI Fortepiano, included in UVI Orchestral Suite. Notated in Finale, but reshaped the MIDI in Cubase, mixing mastering with Waves, Izotope and Fabfilter.

Burgmülleriana

An assignment I made for Berklee College of Music, scoring for 4 horns, 3 trumpets, 3 trombones and a tuba

This piece is built on a simple yet practical theme by Ben Newhouse, using Spitfire BBC SO Brass and plugins by Waves, Fabfilter and Izotope.

In this piece I'm test driving Spitfire's BBC Symphony Orchestra and exploring lots of the possibilities offered. Techniques employed: legato, long, marcato, staccato, staccatissimo, cuivre, trills, sforzandi, a.o.. 

Rather impressed by the sounds and possibilities. Would have liked to have more options to adjust the envelope of a sample, the attack of it for instance. A great job by Spitfire nevertheless.

Fanfare For The Common Brass

In this Berklee assignment I had to re-orchestrate a theme from Mahler's Third Symphony. It's short, but had a lot of fun in the process. 

It always struck me that the theme was so much like Brahms' main theme from the Finale of his Fourth, so I put some Brahms DNA in the beginning as well. He deserves it. 

Used BBC Symphony Orchestra by Spitfire, making a mockup after having composed and notated in Finale notation software.

Theme from The Third Reinvented | Rescoring Mahler using Brahms DNA

Some fifteen years ago I wrote a sonata for flute and harpsichord, baroque style, based on the famous La Folia-theme. Some years later I made a simple arrangement for organ and trumpet and later yet one for flute, harpsichord and strings (bc). The version for organ and trumpet can be heard on of my soundclouds, The Eckmann Family. 

Here, I bounced the Finale file in Cubase, using baroque instruments by Orchestral Tools (Miroire), Cinesamples (viola da gamba) and UVi (harpsichord, Flemish). I mixed with Waves and Izotope plugins. Enjoy!

Hello again! For long I had this wish to make a follow-up on my OASIS 1 & 2, and here it finally is, after two months of working on it, closing the trilogy.

1:46 – Terraphthora
4:33 – Terranascia
7:02 – Solastalgia
