This is beautiful! I Stumbled upon your music through the Loopers Delight mailing-list.

Winner of the 2021 Catalyst Quartet Minute Young Composer’s Competition, this short blur of a piece was written for the Catalyst Quartet to commemorate their 10 years of existence. In October, 2021, my writing of this piece and my performing with the great pianist Hiromi intersected in a beautiful way. I was inspired by her use of accents and displaced strong beats to create a sense of rhythmic clarity or confusion, and her ability to span different harmonic spectrums including bright/dark, rich/simple, and jagged/smooth, all of which were delivered in a way that I found to be accessible in real time.

Love it when the scale of the automation for the time signatures changes when you change the time signature using the automation so it really do be changing itself

V'haarev Na (May the words be sweet)

Hailed by the New York Times as “dizzyingly versatile… an eclectic with an ear for texture… strikingly original and soulful”, LJOVA (Lev Zhurbin) was born in 1978 in Moscow, Russia, and moved to New York with his parents, composer Alexander Zhurbin and writer Irena Ginzburg, in 1990. He divides his time between composing for the concert stage, contemporary dance & film, leading his own ensemble LJOVA AND THE KONTRABAND, as well as a busy career as a freelance violist, violinist & musical arranger. Among recent projects is a string quartet for Brooklyn Rider and a commission for Yo-Yo Ma and the Silk Road Project, arrangements for Alan Pierson and the Brooklyn Philharmonic, tenor Javier Camarena, conductor Alondra de la Parra, the Mexican songwriter Natalia Lafourcade, composer/guitarist Gustavo Santaolalla, The Knights, and collaborations with choreographers Aszure Barton, Damian Woetzel, Christopher Wheeldon and Eduardo Vilaro (with Ballet Hispanico). Ljova is also the composer and conductor of the video project “Signal Strength“, shared by over 200,000 viewers worldwide.
