Three Way

Three Way - Act III. Masquerade: Cis—Spelled C-I-S

I am just a music lover from france without borders in my taste.

He is currently a composer and filmmaker working in Hokkaido, Japan, and his main genre is post-classical music.

He studied architectural design at university and later worked in a design office, designing museums and music halls. Influenced by the VJ culture that started to emerge around 2000 due to the CG and multimedia art that he had been working on since his university days, he started his own video production company after working on video works for club music.
In 2003, he started releasing ambient and downtempo music under the name of "and/or" on labels in France, Portugal, and other European countries.As his video production company started to take off, he decided to take a break from his artistic activities for a while to concentrate on his career as a manager.In the business world, he produced a photo app that was one of the top 3 free apps on the app store in the Japanese market.
While continuing to study music theory and composition on his own while working on his business, he will resume his creative activities around 2019 and start releasing music under his own name in 2021.
At the same time, he is currently planning to create video works and applications for his musical works.

Musically, he is heavily influenced not only by Romantic and modern composers, but also by minimalist music and contemporary film music, while his background is in architectural design, which he studied.
 The aesthetics of structure and pattern, and the patterns of light and shadow, their minute changes, and unexpected changes, etc., have been experimentally incorporated into a new style that incorporates not only nature and the environment, but also generative elements made possible by new computer AI and simulation technology.
 In this way, he seeks to expand the dynamism and possibilities of time-based arts such as music and video.

He seeks to create music that combines the structural beauty of Western music with the interstitial aesthetics of the Eastern and Zen worldviews, and the harmony and fusion of nature and the environment. 
While pursuing a simple, piano-based style of music, he is creating the next generation of classical music that is not bound by the format of the context of instruments such as strings and synths.　

He specializes in beautiful and sentimental music, and aspires to provide the world with an environment where tranquility, healing, and relaxation can be obtained through musical content.

American composer Robert Paterson is a true New Yorker—born and bred in Buffalo, he lived in Rochester and Ithaca for over ten years, in New York City for over twenty years, and now lives in Saratoga Springs, near the Adirondacks. Paterson’s colorful music embraces a wide variety of themes, everything from goddesses and online dating to mathematics and the environment. His music is filled with emotion and fierce rhythmic energy, marked by elegance, wit, and meticulous craftsmanship. Named Composer of The Year by the Classical Recording Foundation at Carnegie Hall, Paterson is the winner of the Alfred I. DuPont Award, and his opera Three Way won the Grammy® under Best Classical Producer of the Year. His music is often a Best of the Year pick on National Public Radio. His orchestral tone poem, Dark Mountains, regularly airs on NPR’s Performance Today. Three Way premiered with Nashville Opera, then BAM (Brooklyn Academy of Music), and across the United States. Minnesota Orchestra, Louisville Orchestra, The Oratorio Society of New York, Buffalo Philharmonic, Albany Pro Musica, Albany Symphony, Musica Sacra, Austin Symphony, Vermont Symphony, and ensembles worldwide perform his works. Paterson gives masterclasses at the Curtis Institute of Music, New York University, the Aspen Music Festival, the Cleveland Institute of Music, and more. He is the Artistic Director and house composer for Mostly Modern Projects. Robert is a lifelong vegan and advocates for animals and the environment, celebrating the natural world with ground-breaking works such as his Triple Concerto, A New Eaarth, Listen, and I Go Among Trees.

Ladat, born Ladislav Tesar, is Litomerice (Czech republic) native, body and soul, who writes and composes his music in Chatel-St-Denis, Switzerland. Ladat is not a band in the true sense of the word, but rather a musical project that emerged in 2019 as an escape from reality, because things go better with music.

Ladat's musical odyssey defies conventional labels and freely blends elements of rock, folk, country, and jazz into a rich and genre-bending style that invites listeners to explore the diverse spectrum of influences that shape his emotional and diverse compositions.
As an experienced composer and lyricist, Ladat weaves stories that deeply resonate with audiences and offers a captivating and immersive musical experience, where each song is an expression of boundless passion, creativity, and an unapologetic celebration of musical diversity.

Since 2021, Ladat has been collaborating freely with the Slovenian A7 Recording Studio and musicians around guitarist and drummer Blaž Pavšič, such as Uroš Mohorič (guitar), Gregor Alič aka Hanson or Peter Beznec (bass), and singers Anton Premec, Kristina Jelić, Maja Štebih, Hana Pavšič or Oliver Neff aka Titanic Jack.
