The second part of a three-piece suite I wrote in my first year of studying Composition.

(this recording is ''played'' by the computer, sadly)

Like in other pieces, I explore a colourful dream state

[1st prize for composition at the ''Paul Constantinescu'' National Contest, in 2011]

Irina V - r.e.m (piano scherzo).

The duo (for clarinet and piano) I wrote in my second year of studying Composition.

(played by the computer :)) )

For this piece I thought about time - about the perception of time in two different contexts; I used the idea of ''second'' both in the meaning of a temporal fragment and a musical interval (it plays an important role, especially at the begining)
More importantly, is about a dream state, a reverie, but a lucid one. For me, it's about the perception of sound and of the present through sound. (in the first part this is expressed through a simple approach, with very few notes but everything is very clear).
The second part is like a colourful dream, in a sense still a lucid one, but a bit more intense and lively.

A short piece I wrote in my second year of studying Composition.

Irina V - Messier - Messiaen, Clarinet Solo

for / from the mornings when i lay in bed not knowing that the first snow arrived, and yet I know: from the nature of the sounds I hear outside and from the sound of the air itself.

An atmospheric piece on my perception of the intimacy that being alone with the winter air can give you. A reflection; thinking without thoughts, breathing the air and Being.


iarnă (winter)

A planet of your own, an empty - but not desolate - space.
There's only the night sky, the barren ground under your feet, and your own flexible, elastic thoughts.
Anything can happen

Planeta Gândului Liber (2 Percuţionişti) (The Planet of Free Thought)

Currently studying for a master's degree in musical composition, at the National University of Music in Bucharest.
My music is atonal (and modal), sometimes playful, sometimes meditative. It has some elements that carry the (I  think rather vaguely noticeable) influence of two of my favourite composers: Debussy and Messiaen.

Also fond of photography and singing.
And many other things.
Well, pretty much everything :) I'm curious and fascinated with the world and all of its aspects.

Have an open mind for new music! :)
