Three Way

Three Way - Act III. Masquerade: Have We Met?

Zurab Janelidze's musical works explore emotions of abstract thought, such as those arising from an intellectual pursuit or conceptualization of one's dreams and desires. There is a strong emphasis on structure. While the music is in the classical style, it does not fit with the common boundaries of the classical musical form.

There are three broad types of music, categorized by the composition process. The "impromptus" are works based on once-off improvisations. This means that the music appears as it was played for the first time, without any prior work. The only post-performance modification that can be done to an impromptu is global key and tempto changes, and deletion of accidental notes (usually these are very few). In contrast, "compositions" are produced one motif or one phrase at a time. During this type of composition, a lot of time is spent on continuously reflecting on what has been composed in the composition process. The third type, "impromptu composition", is a mixture of the first two types. This means that some parts of the piece can be improvised while others composed, or merely that the improvised work is sectioned, adding repetitions and key changes. It can also mean that the impromptu is based on a motif or a phrase that was composed in advance.

The musical works presented here follow a common numbering system. Most of the time there are gaps in the numbers for consecutive works. This is either due to the omission of incomplete/failed pieces or they suggest a significant time lapse between consecutive compositions.

The following terminology is used in describing the structure of each musical work (work in progress):
- interval: a section of music enclosed between two fixed timestamps
- motif: smallest repeating structural piece
- melody: a repeating structural piece consisting of several motives
- unimotivic: revolves around a single main motif
- bimotivic: revolves around two main motifs
- unimelodic: revolves around a single main melody
- explorative: evolves without fixating on any particular motif 
- explomotivic: evolves starting from one or several motifs
- dynamic: characterized by high tempo and volume of sound
- interjective: characterized by sudden short dynamic insertions

Ladat, born Ladislav Tesar, is Litomerice (Czech republic) native, body and soul, who writes and composes his music in Chatel-St-Denis, Switzerland.

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.

Haleen is a realization of a Belgian husband and wife duo. They operate from an off-grid setting in Portugal and have created their own unique genre of music. Their sound is highly recognizable and their music is inspired by their energy shift and transformation of consciousness. Their music is mind-opening, hypnotic, and uplifting. Many listeners have reported that it has given them courage and improved their overall mood.

Hans's musical journey commenced at a very young age! After attending several rock concerts, he was inspired to take the stage himself and purchased his first electric guitar at the age of 15. Teaching himself to play, within just one year of dedicated practice, he confidently performed at his first gig. With countless hours spent daily playing, participating in various bands, performing at numerous festivals, and gaining extensive studio experience, Hans eventually underwent a transformative shift, bidding farewell to the metal scene and incorporating all he had learned into his musical arsenal.

Following this evolution, Hans delved into a different musical realm, strumming a new tune on an acoustic guitar and opting for a tuning of 432Hz instead of the conventional 440Hz. This marked the inception of a unique chapter where Kath, added her vocals to his compositions. Embracing electronic music, a genre he previously hadn't favored, Hans not only expanded his musical horizons but also crafted an entirely fresh sound—a genre unto itself.

In this captivating musical narrative, Hans emerges as an artist who not only mastered diverse genres but seamlessly blended them to create a symphony that transcends boundaries. The echoes of his journey linger in the distinctive and innovative notes of a genre uniquely his own.

Kath's musical journey may not boast a lengthy history, but it's a tale of profound transformation. With minimal musical exposure in her past, Kath underwent a radical overnight shift in her musical taste—from indulging in the greatest hits of mainstream artists across genres like Disco, Rock 'n' Roll, and Metal to immersing herself in the captivating realms of Electronic Dance Music.

Her musical evolution reflects a seismic change, transcending traditional boundaries and embracing a diverse array of sounds. Kath's current musical palette is a testament to her newfound appreciation for artists who resonate with a powerful energy, aligning seamlessly with the transformative force of their shared kundalini experience. In this chapter of her musical exploration, Kath is drawn to the enchanting sounds of Sam Garrett, Mose, Peia, Yaima, Ajeet, and more—artists whose melodies synchronize perfectly with the evolving rhythms of her journey. With each note, Kath continues to discover and immerse herself in a world of musical expression that mirrors the vibrancy of her own inner transformation.






You can find their music on all major music platforms, and they are increasingly performing live, eagerly sharing their music with audiences and connecting with them through their love and acceptance.

Fans have likened Haleen's music to that of Fleetwood Mac, Jefferson Airplane, and Yacht, Bon Iver further highlighting their unique and genre-defying approach to music.

Karl Kim is a man of many musical hats (perhaps too many for his own good, but that's a discussion for another time). 

​​His musical journey started off with piano lessons at age six, and from there he has picked up many other instruments over the years, including but not limited to: violin, guitar, trombone, and various percussion instruments. Karl was also just as quick to branch out to styles of music other than classical; most significant of these styles is rock and metal (especially of the progressive variety), but jazz, EDM, experimental music, and folk music from various parts of the world have also played a role in shaping him as a musician. 

As a concert music composer, these musical experiences, especially those as a metal guitarist, are what make up the voice that he projects into his compositions, especially in recent times. Pieces like "The Jury is Sleepless", "Without a Minute to Spare", and "So Cold, So Dark, So Chaotic" exist at a crossroads between music for the concert hall and music for the mosh pit. His music has been performed by ensembles such as the Rhythm Method, S.E.M., and Bearthoven, and he holds a B.M. in Music Theory and Composition from New York University. 

"Karl with a K" is an alter ego of Karl Kim. Karl with a K, while having the same musical background as Karl Kim, draws upon a fascination for rhythm game music that started with Dance Dance Revolution at the age of eight, and grew considerably to encompass games including, but not limited to, Sound Voltex, In the Groove, beatmania IIDX, Voez, and Arcaea. Karl with a K brings his background in metal and 20th century classical music into rhythm game original tracks such as "!CAUTION! small but deadly", "BELLUM", and "rudimentary methods of overkill", which can be characterized by plenty of guitars, unusual rhythms, and sometimes non-instruments being used as instruments. Much of his output as Karl with a K is written for the purposes of Stepmania simfile creation (though as of BMS of Fighters: EighTeen's "0verfl0w_err0r" this is no longer exclusively the case).

Karl Kim currently resides in Bloomington, Indiana where he is pursuing an M.M. in Music Scoring for Visual Media at the Jacobs School of Music at Indiana University. Karl with a K can be seen lurking around the internet (especially specific Discord servers), occasionally not being above a good meme from time to time. In addition, Karl with a K is working on his first project as a game developer, a typing meets rhythm gaming fusion titled "glyph;".
