The prepared piano becomes a celestial canvas as magnetic whispers guide the notes, weaving a love story through cosmic vibrations.

Dotted Lines is a stopwatch-based piece for four sustaining instruments. Players choose two pitches, one high and one low, and are assigned dots, lines, or silence for each section. 

This version was performed with four electric guitars by Aaron Michael Butler, Ryan Carraher, Carlos Cotallo Solares, and Peter Tracy.

Dotted Lines, November 13th, 2024 at Vermillion

A 7-minute excerpt of a 72-minute recording of my 2024 solo piano piece titled "ending.beginning.interludes", to come out on edition wandelweiser records at the end of this year or early next. Might end up sharing the whole thing prior to. 

This was sort of my return to composition, at least publicly. Thanks to those who told me and showed me I didn't have to go it alone.   

Recorded and produced at The Studios at Linden Oaks in Rochester, NY

ending.beginning.interludes (excerpt)

A solo piano piece built out of a combination of four chords I couldn't stop playing and in which I kept hearing new layers. Performed sensitively here by friend and artist Frederik Donche at the music for a while series in Arnhem, Netherlands.

Steven Vinkenoog (Haarlem 1970) is a composer, sound artist and guitarist from the Netherlands. 
He went to an awful lot of art schools, institutes and universities, and has been playing in bands since the early eighties. 
Somewhere in the year 2000 he started making guitar based sound installations, which eventually resulted in making open ended scores with an interest in improvisation and process music, very much aware of the social aspects of playing music together.
You might also know him as one half of the musical slapstick duo Donné et Desirée.
