Hummingbird

Expectations (remastered)

A dramatic piece centered around a piano. Orchestral elements and subtle synths add emotions and a touch of nostalgia to the otherwise rather somber vibe. The track feels like an unresolved dispute between loved ones, with a sad sense of disappointment hanging in the air, adding a touch of sorrow to the moody feeling. The track will work well as a soundtrack for dramatic, emotional scenes in Films or TV Shows.

Instituto

One that starts off dark and mysterious, then gets crazy with Metal.
From the album Zodiac.

Gonden - Yaoguai

Quoiqu'il en soit
Le ciel, le toit
Le ciel pour soi
Rien n'a cédé
Ne serait-ce 
Qu'un pied

Il faut avouer
A moitié
Les fautes jugées
A peine voilées

Les fautes jugées

Buffalo Run

Ravaged

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.

Igor Iofe is a

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.
