Claude Debussy, Philip Glass and Alexander Desplat walk into a winery...

This is the first single from Kazimir Boyle's debut album.

Côte d’Or (The Golden Slope) is a musical collection of memories, tastes and images. Inspired by my honeymoon in the marvelous French wine region, this cinematic neo-Baroque piece is shamelessly melodic. Romance. Nature. Culture. Getting Tipsy.

Scored for flute, oboe (doubling English horn), clarinet (doubling bass clarinet), bassoon, percussion (vibraphone and tuned wine glasses), harp, piano, 2 violins, 2 violas, and 2 cellos.

Gevrey-Chambertin/The Night Slope

Infinite Universe is a short string orchestra piece detuned in the hip hop slowed + reverb style. Based on an evolving seven-note motif that expands with each iteration, the sound is very human - but there is something so otherworldly about the way these strings breathe. so. slowly. Like Johann Johannsson’s A Pile of Dust and Max Richter’s On the Nature of Daylight, the effect is one of heart-filling calmness.

The second single from Boyle's debut album Côte d'Or: Vignettes of Burgundy.

Infinite Universe (slowed)

Here are some excerpts of my new album of chamber music  - composed a love letter (or really a handful of postcards) to France's Burgundy wine region, where my wife and I honeymooned. 
Scored for 13 instruments (including tuned wine glasses), I describe the music as "Cinematic Neo-Baroque", or "Debussy and Philip Glass walk into a winery..." The 17 vignettes (ha ha ha) are shamelessly melodic and accessible. 

The majority of the music was recorded in Youngstown, Ohio last summer, and was mixed and mastered in Chicago. The album is scheduled to be released digitally on August 3rd, 2021

Youth Poet Laureate Amanda Gorman's recitation at the Biden Inauguration  moved and inspired composer Kazimir Boyle to write music to accompany it. The music is structured not only to support the shape and meaning of the verse, but Gorman's compelling delivery. In essence, she is the rhythm section and the soloist in this rhapsodic work. My intent was to compliment her American eloquence, to create music as grand and proud as I felt as I listened to her on the steps of the Capitol.

I compose music for film, television, and the joy of song and dance. Thank you for listening and sharing!
