Great piece! The instruments sound super interesting, some parts remind me of Korean classical music.

I really like the desolate feel in this piece. Really nice colors overall.

Wonderful soundscape. Bleak and thought provoking.

This is an amazing acoustic journey, exploring textures and harmonics.  Immersive 👏

I love ambient story telling work. marvelous.  CS5 APPROVED

That's some unusually sophisticated pan flute playing in that delightful composition. It would have been fun to see the performance with the stretched strings creaking, wailing and screeching. I like how the sounds arise out of periods of silence. The banging and vibrating, resonating, so much celebration of unfamiliar possibilities with real life acoustics.

Truly fascinating. It's acoustic in texture and tone but could easily be mistaken for electronic. It must be amazing to experience this live in concert.

An acoustic guitar duet. Shael and I have different, complimentary playing styles heard here in this simple recording. Just two guitars...and  a little rainfall.

darkness ahead of me
darkness behind me
darkness below me
darkness above me
darkness to the left of me
darkness to the right of me
darkness surrounds me
darkness defines me

I'm the torch bearer
I'm the torch bearer

hold it up high
hold it up high
hold it up high (don't you wanna put up a fight?)
hold it up high (don't you wanna put up a fight?)

darkness, surround me
darkness, define me
every little shard of yours will remind me
how rare and precious every spark is

few understand you
even fewer can see you
the fabric we've pinned our every idea on
a few of us know just how luminous your dark is

it's why I'm your torch bearer
it's why I'm your torch bearer
it's why I'm your torch bearer
why you need a torch bearer

Bully

One Saturday can't keep your dreams alive.
Stare at the ceiling try to call to mind.
Flashing the things you did the night before.
They've got you nowhere fifty times or more. 

Oh! weekend! showing up, were all falling out.
Oh! weekend! hopefully we'll sleep around. 
Oh! weekend! coming up and acting out.
Some weekends only bring you down. 

I never saw myself your low down way.
I always knew that I'd move on one day.
Oh I don't blame you and you can't blame me.
Nobody explains, what becomes of we. 

Oh! weekend! showing up, were all falling out.
Oh! weekend! hopefully we'll see you round. 
Oh! weekend! coming up and acting out.
Some weekends only bring you down. 

You're counting down again it starts Monday.
To get somewhere you give your dreams away.
Your fingers grasping at a closing door.
You would be gone, if you could just get more. 

Oh! weekend! showing up, were all falling out.
Oh! weekend! hopefully we'll sleep around. 
Oh! weekend! coming up and acting out.
Some weekends only bring you down.

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.

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.
