ECTOBRUME

PHÉNIX

MYSTIC

INTERLUDE

RAKATA

A canonic duet for soprano and tenor sax, accompanied by a bass and a battery of percussion instruments. The piece is in ABA form and avoids traditional harmony and tonality.

Battle of the Saxes

An ethereal atmosphere leading to strings and jazz quartet with drum, upright bass, piano and soprano saxophone

Nuit

Nuit 03

Starting from a reharmonization of a Moldavian klezmer tune, and recorded into L*ve on the now-infamous dead laptop, I translated that original version onto the EMX for use in current live sets. The uber-sweet romanticism of the original becomes, in translation, a haunting tribute to lost and broken memories.

Rhozs4

Fast instrumental melodic jazz/rock.
This piece is very energetic yet melodic, using a combination of acoustic and electronic instruments. After a short keyboard introduction, the main tune is split between alto and soprano saxophones, with an improvised tenor sax solo.
Composed and recorded September 2025.

Book Ends

A track for driving through the big city.

Composition, soprano sax and programming by Tim Dobson.


City Lights

Another track adapted from laptop to the EMX. Cake fits in what I call the hank williams limit, originally written on manuscript in 10 minutes and harmonized on paper in about as long. It's somewhere between a love song and an apology for the fact that I have no idea how to bake cakes and I really don't keep track of the date.

Nuit 04

Tomorrow

Your Cheatin' Heart Hank Williams soprano sax

Far Away

The rabbit on the moon is an Aztec fable about the god Quetzalcoatl, while on a journey in human form, was tired and hungry. A rabbit offered itself as a sacrifice to feed him, and Quetzalcoatl, deeply moved by its selflessness, placed the rabbit's silhouette on the moon for all to remember its great heart and sacrifice.This features Manuel Trabucco Soprano Sax and base solo by Patricio Pietrek on the Warwick thumb Bass.

Rabbit On The Moon

His love for music started with the guitar, before shifting to music production using a digital audio workstation. Jazz and cinematic instrumental music are the two poles feeding his inspiration as a composer. Thus, virtual instruments are used to shape the soundscapes, sometimes still with a few live guitar touches. He acts as self-producer, mixing and mastering his own music. #soundtrack, #jazz, #classical, #neo-classical, #ambient

Son amour de la musique a débuté avec la guitare, pour ensuite se porter sur la production musicale à l’aide d’une station de travail audionumérique. Le jazz autant que la musique instrumentale cinématographique sont les deux pôles qui alimentent son inspiration en tant que compositeur. C’est à l’aide d’instruments virtuels que les environnements sonores prennent forme, avec parfois encore quelques touches de guitare. Il est son propre producteur, et réalise lui-même le mixage et le mastering de ses productions. #bandesonore, #jazz, #classique, #neo-classique, #ambiance

“There is nothing permanent except change.” – Heraclitus.

The music industry (like many things) has changed greatly since I bought my first 45 record (Green Eyed Lady) at my hometown record shop in 1970. It would be very easy to lament over these changes (and I have.) However, with change comes new opportunities, and thanks to websites/apps like Soundcloud we musicians and composers have the opportunity to to be heard as never before. So thank you Soundcloud and thank you for visiting my page. - Jim Combs

I was born in Roasio, a small town located 90km from Torino, in north Italy. I’ve obtained an university degree in Electronic Engineering in 1989, and I’m currently working as a software engineer at Applied Materials Italia SRL in Reggio nell'Emilia, Italy. In July 2006 I’ve completed a 2-years course in Sound Engineering at percentomusica school of music.

In 1989 I moved to Colleferro, working for several years as software developer at the IRIS, the Bontempi/Farfisa computer music research center in Paliano. Here I met Fabio Armani with which founded Night Wings. We participated to the European Musicians’ HOMERECORDING 93/94 contest, obtaining the publications of The Five Sides Of A Story song. In 1995 Futura Music published the song Lost Dragons.

Contemporarily I joined first the Mood Celebration quartet (with Pier Luigi Tosco, Bruno Stella and Marco Bianchi) and later, together with Bruno and Marco, the Io, Mammeta & Blues… group.

Currently I’m keyboardist and composer in the bocatoro café group, founded in 2004, after the successful participation to the Giuliano Rock Festival with some of the bocatoro café musicians.

In January 2009 issue of New Age & New Sounds magazine (n. 192) an interview to me was published, and No War, No More (reprise) song was reviewed.

As assistant sound engineer I collaborate with RIFF RAFF JAZZ and ELEFANTE BIANCO and studios, recording for the former a full orchestra at Fossa (AQ) playing the Chaplin’s Modern Time score.

Moreover, on October 29, 2007 I’ve also collaborated on the Jimmy Fontana concert “Cinquantanni” ...un mondo in musica... at the Teatro Vittoria in Roma.

I've worked with Raimondo Mosci with our Mobile Recording Studio, used to record and possibly mix low to medium budget projects.

Currently I’m working as composer and sound engineer for the theatrical pieces written and directed by Annalisa Rossi, my wife.

After 2 years in Great Britain and 3 in Sweden, in June 2019 we moved to Reggio nell'Emilia, Italy, from which in December 2022 we relocated in Telde, Gran Canaria.

Composer/Instrumentalist, playing Saxophone, Flute, Clarinet, Keyboard and Guitar.
