A collection of three short duets for flute and oboe.

A Short Duet In Three Movements

Sonata for Piano by Alex Shapiro (ASCAP)
Performed by Teresa McCollough, piano
Published by Activist Music LLC (ASCAP).

"The first movement, Moderato, explores two themes that are first developed independently and ultimately are interwoven as two parts of a whole. A set of jazz harmonies are implied against more angular melodic lines. The second movement, Lento; Andante, takes the listener on an emotional, dreamlike journey that leads to a passionate outburst, and the final movement, Scherzo, is just that— an impish romp through bitonality that ends with a laugh."

Three movement work: "Moderato," Lento; Andante,"
and "Scherzo." First version was premiered in May 1998
in Los Angeles, CA. by Barbara Burgan. The revised version with new first movement premiered in April 1999 in Santa Clara, CA. by Teresa McCollough.

This is a 3 movement work about living in a big city. I: City-View Sunset is about the sun setting after a long-day's work, II:is walking home through the nightlife, and III: City-View Sleep is falling to slumber with the town in view.

City-View Suite

Also romanized/read as "kkum" or it's English title.

Recently, there has been a strange streak of surreal dreams, both good and bad, inflicted upon me. Sometimes, it reminds me of the warm caresses of a mother to its offspring, or the dreadful emotions of a calamity.

A sonatina in three movements.

I. Allegro "The Descent"
II. Andante "The Qualm"
III. Prestissimo "The Calamity"
(IV.) Lento "The Cage"

꿈 (A Dream)

“Journey to Light” stands as the album’s great turning point—a symphonic progressive metal instrumental in three movements.

Piano opens the path, guiding the hero’s ascent: first the electric guitar claims the stage in D major, then the violin rises in Bb major, singing with luminous fire.

Finally, guitar returns to close the cycle, as piano delivers a radiant outro.

An odyssey of sound—both cinematic and eternal.

Echoes of the Void

Journey to Light

composer currently studying at berklee college of music. 
all of my music is original.

Account mostly will upload singles or non-self releases (if they were permitted). Will repost songs that were either made by me or I REALLY enjoyed listening too.

Zachary is a composer focused on collaboration, the best music is shared between people. Even if a solo work, there is still work with other people whether it is recording persons or the audience listening in

Project KT (standing for Knowledge Transfer) is the solo creative project of Kareem Tyler, a multidimensional being navigating the constraints of the physical realm through immersive, genre-blending artistry. Blending progressive rock, symphonic fusion, post‑punk ambience, and a touch of metallic catharsis, Project KT crafts cinematic soundscapes rooted in raw poetry, violin-led instrumentation, and emotional tension.

After a life-altering accident that caused partial vocal cord paralysis and ended his ability to play piano, Kareem reinvented his creative process with digital composition and visual art—turning personal trauma into transcendent expression. His music now explores loss, longing, and rebirth through long-form storytelling and orchestral depth. Though Project KT remains firmly his own vision—overseeing lyricism, production, and artwork—he is actively seeking a female vocalist collaborator to give voice to the remaining untold emotional core.

With a vibrant presence on Instagram and BandLab, Project KT continues building cross-medium narratives that fuse sound, image, and meaning. If you are a vocalist or visual artist drawn to gothic romanticism, cinematic drama, and genre-fluid experimentation, Project KT invites you into the echo.

Of the many, many people named Alex Shapiro out there, I am most likely the only one who composes chamber and electroacoustic wind band music AND who used to breed pythons. Others may claim to have done one, but not both.

Music. Nature. Laughing. Eating well. Friendships. And lots of other fun stuff, too. In no particular order. Unlike the music I compose, the notes of which are definitely in a particular order.
