PROGRAM NOTE (SHORT VERSION FOR PROGRAMS)
The first movement, Adagio – allegro con uno trotto – adagio begins and ends in a somewhat Romantic style, but with a twist: the end of the movement sounds like a record scratch, as if what you just heard is a track from an old vinyl LP. I became fascinated with the sound of record scratches when I noticed them in many commercials, although this is somewhat ironic since no one really plays records anymore.

The imaginary title of the second movement, Schizando (derived from ‘schizophrenia’) is a word I came up with to describe a musical style centered on fast, abrupt changes. This movement also reveals an obsession with sequences: sequence-like chord patterns decay by gradually becoming more dissonant as they evolve. These sequential sections alternate with “siesta daydream” sections, akin to channel surfing with a remote control. I was recently on the road for two months with my wife Victoria while she was touring, so on a personal level, traveling on the road to a different hotel every week probably influenced how I wrote this movement. We were never in the same place for very long and many of the hotels looked the same. Our lives were not that dramatic. I started craving drama, particularly in the music I listened to, and this probably spilled over into how I wrote this movement.

The third movement, Largo is slow and broad and inspired by the phrase "the weight of the past." There are time markers that delineate certain sections, reminiscent of the ticking of a clock. There are a number of composers whose works influenced me in this movement, such as the later works of Arvo Pärt and the slow movements of some of Beethoven’s sonatas. I was also pre-occupied with wanting to write a movement that contained mostly “open” notes, i.e. half notes, whole notes and double whole notes.

My main influences for the last movement, Allegro con moto are the early formal ideas of Igor Stravinsky, folk-style fiddle playing and jazz. There are a few false starts when piano chords come crashing down and a few somewhat humorous sections. Many of the themes from the previous three movements reappear in this movement.

As with many of my earlier works, my goal was to create a four-movement work in which all of the movements are quite different from each other. In a sense, I view this multi-stylistic approach as the result of wanting to embrace a variety of tools. As a result, as I wrote this I did not have an allegiance to any one particular style, as each one hopefully elicits a certain, distinctive emotional response.

Hello! I am a self-taught piano improviser and composer, who recently started writing pop songs. I currently use Suno to perform the songs that I write. With piano, my style is a mixture of classical and raw new age piano. I often do piano improv lives on TikTok, where I compose music on the spot based on topics suggested by my fans. Most of my recent piano releases are mastered recordings of these (I have recently started using Pianoteq).

I am based in Serbia, and I am a composer, producer, and multi – instrumentalist specializing in a unique and elegant blend of Cinematic, Rock, Pop and EDM music. My dramatic, dynamic, and energetic tracks are appropriate for enhancing a variety of visual cues while creating images od emotional turmoil, suspense, and intrigue.

My music defies convention, eschewing strict technical boundaries in favor of allowing the raw essence of the soul to flow freely.

For me, music is more than just a collection of sounds; it's a profound expression of the soul's deepest emotions and experiences. I place a special emphasis on this ethereal connection. Music, in my view, possesses the power to produce vibrations that resonate not only in the visible realm but also in the hidden depths of our consciousness. It is a universal language, transcending cultural and linguistic barriers, capable of forging connections and speaking directly to the core of our being. It propels us toward uncharted horizons, inviting us to embark on a transformative journey of self-discovery and emotional exploration.

“I don't remember my dreams too much. I hardly have ever gotten ideas from nighttime dreams. But I love daydreaming and dream logic and the way dreams go” - David Lynch

I love to express stories through music and explore the visceral space that surrounds them. Sometimes I’m interested in creating sound collages, or tapestries of sound that are varied in their nature but unified in their aesthetic aim. Other times I surrender to something lyrical. Most of the time, I feel compelled to make sense of the world, which is impossible. But, after some work, which includes frustration, and occasional eureka moments, I find deep meaning and satisfaction in my music, especially as I near the finish line and embark on a collaborative journey with fellow creatives.
