Do not worry, I am not dead! After a few centuries, I decided to share one of my compositions I made. This one might be very different to what I've been sharing before, but I am not afraid. The composition was inspired by transcribing bird songs and working with silence - an element I have been using sparsely in my previous pieces.
Enjoy!

Overflight

Originally a background track made as ambience for this week's concert, but I thought I'd polish it an release it as it's a bit different from what I usually do!
The track was for you to always discover something new with each listen. Enjoy!

Quiet environment and headphones recommended.

Hyperlight

After my latest trip to Iceland, I got inspired to come up with the original idea. What a breathtaking, alien world! Hope you'll enjoy this little piece!

Stars

Little track I started working on, having the idea at 2am the other day. The point was to focus on the textures and sounds that together create a flowing, evocative visual soundscape :)

Tranquility

Please use headphones for the best listening experience.

SUN takes the listener through three distinctive spaces - inside the explosive and scorching sun, across the rain of protons to the wavy aurora. The material of the piece is based on sonified data from observations of solar activity, near-surface turbulence and particle flux in space.

This is a recording of a performance using a MAX patch I made throughout the months and performed with three times, most notably earlier this year on Sound Kitchen as part of PQ 2023.

SUN (binaural)

Chord to be repeated as fast as possible until it's physically impossible and painful to play further.

Lines have been recorded while listening to others, therefore you can hear little "waves" of energy emerging, similar to how friends would support each other through struggles. The purer and more consonant it is, the more agonizing it is in the background.

Strings are doubling the piano parts and apart from tiny changes, there were no edits made to the midi.

Until

A demo of my latest orchestral piece I have been working on throughout the past months, premiered 3 days ago.

This piece concerns harmony, chords and note choices. Initial material made out of an emerging melody transforms, dissipates, and emerges again in different contexts.

I have been developing my own system of making chords that extends known tools from spectral music. Each part of the piece works in a slightly different way.

The piece (apart from one little spot) uses no microtones at all.

Orbis

My first solo piano track in collaboration with Tiago D. Ferreira. Enjoy!

Patrik Herman & Tiago D. Ferreira - Mémoire

After a while, I'm back again with a new public track! This time it is quite different. In this piece, I was shifting away from tonality and had to invent my own ways to notate the piano part.

The track describes a story of a drowning person - from the first splash to the transition to the other world.

World Dissolving

Composer, piano player, audio guy, a human being(?)

I like to work texturally, incorporate processes and create a sound experience. My former coding background inspires me to develop harmony and other aspects of music.
