A three-movement piece for soprano saxophone and piano, Interests highlights the instrument’s unique timbre and capabilities. Starting with a stately, canonic first movement entitled “Mass Movement,” we hear an intertwined melody that moves throughout both parts. This is followed by an emotional second movement, “Sunset Reflections On The Window Pane,” that shifts between two main themes, and concludes with a hectic and energetic third movement, “A Philosophical Exchange.” Interests brings both performer and listener to a variety of emotional states.

September Sailing

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

The tunes blend different styles, drawing inspiration from Duke Ellington, Miles Davis and the late 20th-century Amsterdam jazz scene while incorporating modern elements like samples and beats that lend it a more upbeat, danceable energy—much like the vibe of "The Hall Revisited" and "At Home" from the EP "Cubicle Life."

I’m a composer, multi-instrumentalist, educator and co-founder/owner of D. S. Musiks. I love to write for woodwind instruments, specifically solo and chamber music works. I have a passion for double feeds, low clarinets, and recorder/flute, but also love to write for all instruments. I am dedicated to the creation of solo works for auxiliary instruments and find the greatest joy in life when sharing my music and performing.
