The first Prelude from my ongoing 'Preludes (for piano)' suite [2021-] , which uses serial techniques. The four transformations of the set complex are complemented by the additional use of free melodic inversion. I have dedicated the piece to my former composition teacher,

Preludes (for piano) - I - [for Peter Nickol]

*I am releasing the COMPLETE version of POLEMIC, very soon!* I am a British composer, who has studied composition privately with British composer Peter Nickol https://www.impulse-music.co.uk/peternickol/ (although I am largely self-taught). I have also studied piano (privately) with concert pianist Ekaterina Shetliffe. 
My music contains elements of impressionism, and musical modernism; I have also explored 12-tone composition.
For several years now, I have been developing my own composition technique, which focuses on the liminal area between stochastic and spectral music, which I intend to use in my future compositions.

Composers who have influenced me include Schumann, Chopin, Schoenberg, and Ligeti; however my formative musical inspiration is the music of Debussy.

BIO:
The Empire of the Full Moon seeks to uncover the mysteries surrounding great songwriting.
Over the years, the Empire has evolved from simple songwriting into creating more complex musical works, viewing music as a true art form.
The Empire blends various styles of music, including classical, thrash metal, heavy metal, hip-hop, and techno, into a unique genre called symphonic metal.

Moht, the main composer behind The Empire of the Full Moon, began creating melodies at an early age.
With an acoustic guitar, xylophone, and toy accordion in his room, Moht started playing instruments during his childhood, learning musical skills from his father, who was also a musician and played the accordion and acoustic guitar.

Today, The Empire is dedicated to crafting outstanding compositions and exploring the depths of songwriting and musical creation.

I was trained in tradition, yet I stepped beyond its walls. Sound is my language, not to decorate but to liberate. Composer, performer, and listener — one fire, three sparks, inseparable.

I write and compose to uncover what is hidden: the truth buried beneath power, the dignity of the ordinary, the current of awareness that flows through all.

I belong to no authority, only to sound, to truth, to the silence from which all begins. My work is not mastery, but remembrance — a manifesto in every note, every word, every breath.

I am a composer of the 21st century: a studio artist. The studio is my forge, my battlefield, my sanctuary. Machines hum like choirs, circuits burn like torches, cables twist like roots in the earth. Tradition breaks open in this fire — the score turns to light, the instrument becomes the world itself.

To be a studio artist is to seize sound at its rawest, to sculpt electricity and breath as one, to summon the invisible power that belongs to all. Here music is not bound by walls, not enslaved by profit, not tamed by form. It is free, untouchable, unending — a living flame for the century that is ours.

I primarily play saxophone but also play some percussion, keyboards. I’m currently working on new material and posting experimental work this Fall.

The tracks are currently all my compositions, but in the coming years I hope to cover some songs in time! Matt W contributes bass on some older tracks.

Thanks for listening! Brooklyn saxophonist / multi-instrumentalist. Cheers~ jz
