“Broken Peace,” a serene and sonically rich work, exemplifies Theade’s ability to masterfully weave together musical timbres to create transcendence. Initially focusing on a coarse quality of the violins, “Broken Peace” soon softens through the entrance of piano, textured pads, and gentle percussive elements marking downbeats that anchor the listener. With openness and tenderness similar to that of Icelandic composer Olufar Arnalds, the whispering melodies and simple harmonies of this work encourage imagination. This music seems to move outward, inviting listeners to allow their minds to travel outward as well with the progression of the piece.
 
All throughout, but particularly at moments where the arpeggios break through the mix and approach the listener, “Broken Peace” embodies the ebb and flow pattern of the ocean. However, this piece is not limited to imagery of the shoreline. Rather, it lends itself to all images of nature in motion– misty waterfalls, trees bending with the wind, snowflakes departing from the clouds and arriving on the earth. Ascending and descending notes outline the central tonic harmony, mimicking these tender, natural movements. The piano’s dark, round tone has an ethereal quality, but human attributes in the musicianship firmly ground it in this world. Soaring open harmonies during the climax give the piece an angelic perspective on the wonders of the earth.

Emotional & Modern Classical, Piano & Soundtrack.

As a producer and composer, Theade has developed his own unique sound of ‘emotional’ and ‘Modern Classical’ music for film and picture.  Theade started his musical career in 2000 DJing.  This time was spent producing and as a DJ for melodic Drum and Bass and Broken Beat.

Having grounded himself firmly in DJing he began taking his own music production in a variety of new directions, fusing Classical with the beats that he was previously DJing. 

Theade notes: “The result is that each set is composed rather like a symphony, mixing between tracks is often unnoticed, resulting in an unending seamless mix from start to finish.” This forward-thinking style of Djing has allowed Theade to develop a unique and grounded position at the intersection of the DJ and film score scenes.  The musical style will delight anyone that is interested in ambient breaks, post-classical, and piano music.  

The theme in Theade’s music is about often missed moments in life, from themes in sadness or joy. I  translate what I see into audio using elements from the environment around me, taking sounds from nature or everyday objects. I use picture when create a sound so my music always compliments the visual.
I help you get your mind into a space, whether that’s relaxed or meditative.
