PROGRAM NOTE
The Winds of Time was inspired by the title and content of the poem of the same name by Tanzanian poet and novelist Euphrase Kezilahabi. I created musical elements from the various words, phrases and metaphors in his poem, especially those related to wind and water: watching the waves rising, falling, swelling, surging, and waves being driven by winds. The passage of time, inevitability, darkness, and the poem’s overall despair are represented throughout the ensemble with various bells, drums, winds, exotic instruments, and a few non-standard playing techniques.

Although this work is divided into three connected movements, Waves rising, falling, swelling, surging, Bending space/time, and Colossal chimes, fading light, it is more a rhapsody than narrative in structure. Various themes and motives gradually come into the foreground and recede into the background throughout the entire work, similar to how shells wash up on a shore and then become lost to the sand.

The Winds of Time was commissioned by the Eastman School of Music Wind Ensemble, Mark Davis Scatterday, Conductor, and a consortium of wind ensembles in honor of Eastman’s 100th anniversary.

The Winds Of Time for Wind Ensemble (World Premiere)

A violent storm descends, wreaking havoc. Winds, unmetered in power, swirl, twist and pull. And at times when it seems unending, a period of serenity ensues; but only briefly. Recharged in strength it repeats the cycle of mayhem and fear. And in stark contrast to its violent arrival, it abruptly dissipates in calm finality.

I did this custom version of Invocation (from the Audiomachine ASCENDANCE album) for a trailer pitch that ultimately didn't land, but I really love how it came out with Andrew Prahlow's new vocals and the added orchestral lines, and wanted the world to hear it. Enjoy!

Invocation - Alt version

I've been producing music since 2004, composing and releasing my music on various indie music labels in Europe and North America. As an artist, my main focus was on various styles of psychedelic trance music as  www.soundcloud.com/arronax

Being a freelance musician who loves exploring all genres is really awesome, but I feel total freedom when I'm composing symphonic and hybrid orchestral music for video games and movies. 

I've been in many freelance projects during these years, from making indie video game soundtracks and background & trailer music for YouTube channels, to creating ambient and original soundtracks for short movies, commercials, radio shows, etc.

If you'd like to hire me for one of your projects as a composer, feel free to message me here on SC.
