In the 90s I arranged folk (fiddler) music from Jämtland, Northern Sweden for the classical. I thought they had some baroque music in their melody shapes, sp I arranged some of them in that style.

Every Series contains a Vignette (45 sec-1.15) and 10-15 Original tunes in different moods - written with an overall thematic idea. 
Extracted from these songs Levin has added 16-24 longer Soundscapes, processed versions of the original songs (perfect as ”glue” or as backgrounds.)
The package also contains 16 tracks of pulses/rhythms that could be mixed with the soundscapes to make the story/scene move on forwards in more distinct way. 
The concept is simple: Levin has all the masterfiles and can quickly change and design the exact lenghts, forms and stems after your needs, in the way that suits your film best.

Serie Nr 1 Soundscape Excerpt

I got inspired to write a series of six studies in ideomatic style.
These first six etudes are directly influenced by Leo Brouwer’s Studies ”Estudios Sencillos” nr 1-10 (Études simples).
If you have played them you will recognize the playing techniques and some quotations :-)
You will notice in the fourth etude I do another version from what is notated. That was an earlier version. I think i might be better...

Etude No 4 - Night in the village

Etude no 2 – The local singing Baker

Etude No 6 – The wild Dance

Study no 3 focuses on practicing fast p-i-m with chord breaks, and descending a-m-i-figures.
Imagine a threatening Tornado approaching the village. To avoid a disaster a lot of fast things are going on, in order to find protection, but at the same time stay cool and make the right decisions…

You find the free score with the six Studies at www.stefanlevin.com
