Name: Where Are We? by QJ composer
Duration: 4 min 49 s
Description: The question is existential: Finding our place in the world is a lifelong quest. Some never find their place. Some have no place. Some are displaced. Some are replaced. Some removed. Some lost. Where Are We? We Are Here, of course. It's enough. Settle.

This track was inspired by the photography of John Barreto.

The question is existential: Finding our place in the world is a lifelong quest. Some never find their place. Some have no place. Some are displaced. Some are replaced. Some removed. Some lost. Where Are We? We Are Here, of course. It's enough. Settle.

Where Are We?

Blood-curdling screams envelop strains of an ancient MIDI realization of mine...

Bedlam Nr 1

Marina Abramovic is an acclaimed performance artist whose shtick revolves around bodily endurance. I recently saw an exhibition of her work in Amsterdam's Stedelijk Museum and this composition is my musical impression of what I saw.

A Marina Abramovic Tribute

A continuation in my series of muted atmospheres. Allan Segall, piano. Ableton Live, electronics.

Turquoise Cloud Nr 3 - for Piano and Electronics

An exploration of traversing many musical spaces simultaneously.

Poly - Morphisms Nr 1

A funky Stravinsky-like electric bass encounters de-tuned accordions and sound samples from other psychedelic works of mine which creates a bizarre circus-like atmosphere. Partially based on my recent String Quintet , 'Poly-Morphisms Nr 4' is more of a psychedelic/kaleidoscopic reinterpretation of the work than a verbatim transcription.

Poly - Morphisms Nr 4

One of my recent electronic works, 'Polymorphic Bass' is transformed into a druggy interlude reminiscent of the the 90s -with an Avant-Garde twist.

OD - ing Nr 1

The South-Korean film Burning (2018) inspired me to make this song. I also made a video centering around my favorite scene of the film, which includes this song as well. You can watch it here : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7FBZAPjkUmQ

Great Hunger

My music is mostly dark, cold and unsettling.
A theme park full of intense, scary rides, and sonic thrills. 
Enjoy the roller-coaster!

I like simplicity. I choose each sound carefully. All tracks start as selected chords that I hope are slightly unexpected, after years of writing standard pop chords which I needed to move away from to explore more.
