Music for Gourd is a composition commissioned jointly by the Hong Kong Chinese Orchestra and the Taipei Chinese Orchestra. It was completed in July 2012 in Taipei and later re-orchestrated for the Western orchestra in 2019. The entire piece, approximately 16 minutes long, is structured as a single-movement concerto divided into three closely connected sections: fast, slow, and fast. The solo instrument featured is the 36-reed modernized Sheng.
The first section is characterized by a tranquil introduction followed by a rhythmically intense dance. The harmonic language in this section is characterized by sharp dissonances, exploiting the unique playing techniques and utilizing the diverse modern soundscape of the Sheng.
The second section presents a graceful Hmong Qeej Dance featuring the traditional Hmong wind instrument also known as Lusheng. The Hmong Qeej Dance is later transformed into continuous rapid 32nd note scale passages, presenting a formidable challenge to the soloist. The Lusheng, made of bamboo pipes with free reeds, is central to the musical traditions of the Hmong ethnic group and is often used in their rituals, ceremonies, and traditional music.
In the third section of "Music for Gourd," the influence of Thai Khaen solo music is evident. The Khaen, a traditional free-reed mouth organ from Thailand, contributes to this section's lively and playful melody, characterized by rapid repetitions of single notes or chords. Incorporating the Khaen music adds a distinctive Southeast Asian flavor to the composition, enriching its cultural tapestry.
The composition concludes with a brilliant solo Sheng passage accompanied by the woodwind and percussion sections of the orchestra, showcasing the rugged aspects of "Gourd Music" and culminating in a climax of heightened intensity. This juxtaposition of traditional Chinese, Hmong, and Thai musical elements not only reflects the multicultural landscape of contemporary music but also highlights the versatility and adaptability of traditional instruments in modern compositions.
In summary, Music for Gourd is a compelling exploration of cultural intersections, featuring the distinctive timbres and expressive capabilities of traditional Chinese, Hmong, and Thai instruments. Through its innovative blending of musical traditions, this composition offers a captivating sonic journey that transcends cultural boundaries, celebrating the richness and diversity of Asian musical heritage.  
This track is the live recording of the world premiere took place on September 1ST, 2019. Jipo Yang and the Taipei Symphony Orchestra, Zhongshan Hall, Taipei. Conductor: Yiu Kwong Chung

Sheng - Tout va mal 糟透了 (Remix)

This work was inspired by Paul Klee’s Pedagogical Sketchbook, my former teacher Carlos
Sanchez-Gutierrez, and the latter’s reverence for this document and Klee’s work in general. Sibyl Moholy-Nagy wrote an eloquent introduction to the 1960 edition of the Sketchbook, where she describes Klee’s unique style as "pictorial composition that uses the identifiable natural shape as mediary." This piece for solo 37-reed sheng uses the sketchbook as inspiration for not only the musical motifs but additionally the way in which certain passages are notated. 

"Mediaries" was partially written during my time as an artist-in-residence at the Wildacres Retreat in North Carolina. It was written for Li-Chin Li as part of the Seed 2024 Virtual Composition Academy. The accompanying picture is from Paul Klee's Pedagogical Sketchbook.

"Tatizo," performed by Artists.ke—which includes Karma, Pam, Wyre, Nyashinski, Abbas Kubaff, Nameless, and Jua Cali—is a song rooted in the Genge genre. Genge is a style of hip-hop music that originated in Kenya, characterized by its use of Swahili and Sheng (a Swahili-English slang) lyrics, and beats that blend African rhythms with modern hip-hop influences.



In 2007, the Kenyan music scene witnessed a remarkable collaboration that became iconic: "Tatizo" by Artiste.ke. This song not only showcased the collaborative spirit of prominent Kenyan artists but also earned the Best Collaboration award at the 2007 Kisima Music Awards.  Its release in the mid-2000s solidified its status as a significant hit, reflecting the unity and creativity within Kenya's music industry during that period.



The song "Tatizo" is notable for its high-quality production and remains iconic in Kenyan music history.

Najua is about manifesting our dreams and aspirations. The things we yearn for, what we aspire to be and the change we would love to see. I hope you feel inspired as I feel every time I perform or listen to this piece.

This is a rehearsal recording I did with the talented Timothy Arinaitwe of TLVSN on guitar and vocals and Gathuru Gitema on keys and background vocals.

Welcome!

Composer/Guitarist/Songwriter/Producer from Ithaca, NY.

Dorphan is a gifted lyrical virtuoso – a blender of verse, hip hop, theatre, music and improv in his mission to be a truth-teller, a historian of self and society. His spoken word performances travel from the anguish of the personal to the uncertainties of living in a broken world. He opens the door to vulnerability and poignancy so rare in performance spaces chasing the momentary relief of comedy and lets the tirades verbalizing the pains of dispossession flow freely – telling the stories of the forgotten, the scarred, and the disenfranchised peoples – from the juicy bustle of Meru’s Gakoromone Market to the mad flavours of Eastlands Nairobi.
