This ever so melancholic track with its relaxed, laid-back, and almost tragic demeanor has ambient keyboards playing heartbreaking melodies accompanied by dramatic piano licks and sensual female vocals vowels. Subtle percussive sounds and a gently echoed, almost acoustic-sounding bass add a slight groove and hint of hopefulness. The vibe is reminiscent of an emotional farewell scene making it ideal for tragic moments in films, games, or documentaries.

Sound of ATEM - Silessence Ft. Jen Roe  [Effortless]

Treasure Chest
Words and Music by Nero Simon

We said I love you
For the first time
On the Seven Mile Bridge
Bahia Honda
Headed southbound 
Our hair blowin’ in the wind 

Two leading actors 
Without a script
At the tail end of a dream
What remained of us
In this theater of the sea
But two-bit roles for you and me

We were once shooting stars
Who were coming undone 
Two souls drifting apart 
Now we're finding our way back to each other's arms

The keys to your heart
Are hidden in 
A treasure chest
Buried in the sand 
Somewhere south of Islamorada
Oooh oooh oooh
We’ll have our riches once again

Counting hours 
By the half shell
Tropicalia tastes so sweet
Herradura 
Goes down easy
With a view as lovely as can be

We were once shooting stars
Who were coming undone 
Two souls drifting apart 
Just forgetting that we're not in love anymore

The keys to your heart
Are hidden in 
A treasure chest
Buried in the sand 
Somewhere south of Islamorada
Oooh oooh oooh
We’ll have our riches once again

We said I love you 
For the first time
Keys to your heart
We said I love you
For the first time
Keys to your heart
We said I love you 
For the first time
In a long time

Treasure Chest

Ferien Vom Ich

In this piece the newly invented string instruments are playing in combination with flute, soprano voice and piano. The strings are being stretched between the beams of the mezzanine of the building and also hanging from the ceiling beams with heavy weights on them. The hanging strings surround the audience and musicians. A very special building HET VEEM (Van Diemenstraat 410, 1013 CR Amsterdam) - former warehouse, where the piece was premiered, inspired us to create these instruments and this composition. The concert was performed as a part of Toetsdestijds Concerten Series.

A Sharp Note

Over The Marsh - NewPrimitive

Is the second track from the Dancing Shadows Compilation.
A Twanging tone almost eastern sounding lead improvisation coupled with aggressive rock and roll chords overdriven through a broken amplifier.

This is the only recording of my main guitar used between (2014-2017).

Originally this track was going to have inserts of spoken word from the novel ''Naked Lunch''. but quality of microphones and a software limitation had the idea scrapped.

Something I wrote, recorded and then forgot about

Forgotten Melody

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
