«Strange dreams» was composed for C Barré ensemble in frames of Composers Lab of «reMusik.org» festival. This piece explores transition between conditions of being awake and falling asleep. I tried to recreate some thoughts and images emerging at this moment, which are extremely chaotic and elusive. Rhythmic structure is inspired by Myoclonus phenomenon – irregular twitching of muscles when person is falling asleep. This element creates ostinato background for brief phrases and passages, which improvisatory nature reflects the main idea of irrationality and unpredictability of this boundary state of our consciousness.

Elsewhere is a Negative Mirror, Part I
For piano with electromagnets

Performed by Chryssie Nanou.

Elsewhere is a Negative Mirror, Part I is the first installment of a longer piece inspired by Italo Calvino’s novel Invisible Cities. In the novel, over the course of discussions between the emperor Kublai Kahn and the explorer Marco Polo, a host of fantastic cities are described. Each of these cities serves both to convey a specific mood and to reflect the evolving views of reality expressed by the two characters. For the composition, I attempted to utilize Calvino’s wide-ranging philosophical explorations as well as the structure of the novel itself. Part I follows the first section of the book, in which four types of cities are introduced and revisited, in a pattern that recycles city types with increasing rapidity. The performer’s material is constrained by these sections.

In addition to the performer playing the piano, a rack of 12 electromagnets is placed over the piano frame, each electromagnet positioned over a string. These are controlled by a Max/MSP patch, each magnet serving to resonate its respective string at variable frequencies. The dampers for the strings being resonated are held up with the sostenuto pedal, thus forcing the performer to move with care around these resonating pitches. The electromagnets are responsible for the performance of a “supertheme”, which falls outside the careful structure mentioned above, while the performer’s material acts a reflection of each section as conveyed by the supertheme.

Elsewhere is a Negative Mirror, Part I was commissioned by ASCAP/SEAMUS and premiered by Chryssie Nanou.

Elsewhere Is A Negative Mirror

Chronoclasm - in science fiction is one of the possible consequences of travels in time. As a result of meeting people from different eras, ideas and information are transferred from the future to the past. This causes some events and actions in the past, but all their consequences are already reflected in the future. Thus, the reality does not change, all the rings of chronoclasms ever created are already included in the course of history. On the contrary, the abolition of one of the chronoclasms will lead to a change in the future.
In this piece the idea of “broken time” is reflected in “broken” musical continuum and “broken sound”, since some of musical instruments are detuned.
The piece “Chronoclasm II” was written especially for the ensemble “C Barre” and was premiered at the festival on May 31, 2021.

Textures Arc The Points is dedicated to my late teacher Mark Chambers, who was a great composer that often introspect about music. Thank you for introducing me to the world of “Spectra and Pixies” and the world of electronics

Textures Arc The Points was commissioned by the Debris Project; utilizing sound solely from their database.

Engulfed by the many points, as these materials conglomerate within the plane 
Matter as figurative and external

Conglomerates veil the arcs

Meandering through the flow, at times with extreme exaggeration Flow that is never the same
As flow is made up of impermanent elements

Cyclic material that occurs “once”; an ephemeral quality 
Often unfair

Endure with an inner rhythm of
Textures of a phantom-like movement
Veiled by the engulfment of the points

We endure through perception of, not form, but rather

Yielding the flow
And respond to the “through” material

Textures Arc The Points

An Arabic-inspired lofi hip hop song with a music video I made! In this song I'm attempting to do Maqam Bayati/Bayati Shuri. The song's got kind of an ominous yet laid-back vibe to it, and to go along with it, the video has kind of an unsettling yet goofy vibe.
