This piece features a Fin whale's journey through the polar soundscape. Due to its enormous size, the Fin whale (the second longest whale on the planet) produces a very low frequency (20 Hz) pulse, reaching the lower end of the human hearing range. Based on the recording of a Fin whale, a tune was composed, revolving around the reoccurring low frequency pulses.

The inspiration for this piece of music was taken from the long distances traveled by Fin whales in combination with the huge diversity in marine species in polar regions. The repeating low frequency pulses reveal the Fin whales point of view whilst encountering a diverse acoustic environment. Recordings from polar regions comprising sounds of various cetacean species like Killer whales, Ross seals, Bowhead whales, Sperm whales, Leopard seals and high frequency sound produced by sea ice, present the listener with an idea of the acoustic diversity in the Arctic and the Antarctic. A synthesizer playing chords based on the sounds produced by the sea ice is the only purely artificial sound in the piece - all other sounds are taken as recorded and only slightly altered.

The piece is a celebration of nature's diversity and beauty in yet another realm.

Acoustic Encounters Of A Fin Whale

bequeath belief is march's monthly tune.

feel free to download and enjoy.

I wanted to start with a contrapuntal saxophone melody this time, and in contrast to the previous tune fuller drum playing style. 

Let me know what you think...

march: bequeath belief

shift and overlap is april's monthly tune.

feel free to download and enjoy :)

This is somewhat constructed, as the saxophone is playing in 7/16 over a 7/4 groove, trying to maintain a groove that you can vibe to. Let me know if how you like it!

Cheers

april: shift and overlap

'93 Turtleneck is may's monthly tune. This is a sole duet between saxophone and drums. nothing else. some musical scetches. a second saxophone enters but thats it. and that's that.

Theres a music video to the tune: https://youtu.be/5JCtGIJRRWw

mai: 93' Turtleneck

This tune is heavily inspired by Charles Mingus, whose genius big band arrangements were spinning in my head in the days leading up to the creation of this tune.
I love big band music and am curious into writing more multilayered saxophone parts like in control and lack thereof.
I hope this aim at a very energetic and powerful tune guides you well through the month of june.
Feedback is always appreciated, cheers.

june: control and lack thereof

I decided to record another track. These are just three one-takes.

This week the Vincent Sirius Trio is performing a rhythmically complicated yet (hopefully) smooth tune, featuring Vincent Sirius on soprano saxophon Schmincent Grierious on bass synthesizer and Keys, and Glincent Plerious on drums. All parts are improvised and "one-takes".

Vincent Sirius Trio: Queens Gambit

Absent constraint is the tune for july, performed by the Vincent Sirius Quintet. For a change this track is recorded without a clicktrack, so no guiding metrone rectricting the flow of ideas. Combined with the loose beat is a very improvisational approach to the soprano saxophone line. The tenor and the alto saxophone yell in between, in a style influenced by the legendary Fela Kuti compositions. The idea of this tune was sparked on a very hot friday night in the Vincent Sirius Recording Studios, enjoy!

Video is available as always on youtube.

july: absent constraint

Stingcent Posterious on synth bass, Chingsent Wattseius on drums and Jencent Coltuminous on tenor sax present improvised tune: particle or wave.

Inspired by light, the trio aimed to explore the gap between particle and wave, in every possible way.

For those who want to explore that gap more in-depth, the youtube video is available at:

Vincent Sirius Trio: particle or wave

month twelve
the last tune, for the month of august, in this one year project is: future plans. 

I hope you enjoy it, it was by far the most work and somewhat reflects my progress throughout the year. I will keep releasing tunes, or songs if you will, on an irregular basis. Towards the end of this year I plan on releasing an album or mixtape, we'll see. stay on the look-out so you don't miss anything.
If you enjoy my music and the videos along with it, I would be very grateful if you could help me spread the news. 
The Vincent Sirius Trio, Quartet, and Quintet will soon be back with more

As always, there is a youtube video for the song:
