Untitled 10 (for wind ensemble)

Fare Well was originally written when I was in high school, and has since been revised. Very thankful for the reading by the Jacobs School of Music Symphony Orchestra! There's also a string quartet arrangement of this piece.

Fare Well (for string orchestra)

The notes in the piece are derived from the frequencies at which the planets in our solar system orbit the sun, which is kind of interesting maybe. Huge thanks to Mika Sasaki for performing this, it's very very difficult! #musician #music #piano #classicalmusic #contemporarymusic #keyboard #atonal #astronomy #keplerslaws #newmusic #musicofthespheres

Started working on this in 2022. Lots of quarter tones, but I think they're used pretty smoothly here.

Thanks for listening,

Untitled 19

by Dmitri Volkov, performed by Youlim Chung

Untitled 19 is formed around a dichotomy of two musical ideas. We were interested in quoting material from kpop songs, so both of the main ideas are derived from a BLACKPINK song (bonus points to anyone who figures out which one). I'm not very familiar with kpop, so it was interesting to listen and learn more about it in the process of writing this piece!

Untitled 18 (Passacaglia)

Outdoor performance, please pardon/enjoy the environment sounds!

Performed by Elijah Buerk

Untitled 18 (Passacaglia) (for carillon)

This piece is a set of five canons, played back-to-back: all four parts play (almost) the exact same thing, but starting at different times and at different pitches. And most interestingly: different tempos. Inspired by the polytemporal player piano works of Conlon Nancarrow, this piece adopts similar compositional techniques of his work: keep an ear open for moments where the canons align.
