PROGRAM NOTE
"Dash" is inspired by common meanings of the word ‘dash’: to travel or run somewhere in a great hurry, or to hurl an object with great force, often with destructive effect. I was also inspired by other meanings, such as adding a dash of something to something else, for example, adding a dash of salt or pepper. A dash is also a type of punctuation mark. There are em dashes—like these—as well as en dashes, used to indicate spans of time or ranges of numbers, like 20–21, or hyphens, which denote compound adjectives, like well-known brass quintet. An underscore, which emphasize words, phrases, or sentences, can also look like a dash. In music notation, a dash is called a tenuto, and is used to indicate emphasis when placed under or over notes. Of course, in this piece, I had to include plenty of tenutos. "Dash" was was commissioned by the Atlantic Brass Quintet.

Dash (for Brass Quintet)

Music for everyone, music for others. A life against the current. No genre in music! It is too simplistic to give a genre to everything!! Music is an expression of human emotions and it is necessary to learn to understand humanity in its complexity.

A former San Francisco 49er Offensive Lineman, Eric now composes and produces music in the epic, cinematic, and ambient genres. His compositions are, by design, ultra melodic and follow a hybrid orchestral style similar to film composers Hans Zimmer and James Horner, and epic cinematic artist Two Steps From Hell.

Eric lives in Austin, TX, with his wife Emily and their two young daughters, both aspiring musicians :) 

Thanks for listening everyone!  Such a wonderful community here on Soundcloud!

Covert Acoustics is a creative sound collective dedicated to shaping immersive, genre-fluid sonic worlds.

Rooted in collaboration, we emerged from the world of production music — but have since outgrown those boundaries. Today, we focus on deeply crafted cinematic electronica and ambient downtempo, often blending music with foley, speech, and design to create narrative listening experiences.

Our catalogue spans EPs, albums, and singles — offering curated soundscapes that are as listenable as they are conceptual. Whether you’re tuning in for focused listening or seeking rich sonic textures for creative work, we aim to provide sound that resonates: deliberately, emotionally, and originally.

We’re here to reimagine what listening can be — one immersive release at a time.
