“Mis-en-scène ( for woodwind quartet)", coming this August!*

I am a British composer, who has studied composition privately with British composer Peter Nickol (although I am largely self-taught). I have also studied piano (privately) with concert pianist Ekaterina Shetliffe. 
My music contains elements of impressionism, and musical modernism; I have also explored 12-tone composition.
For several years now, I have been developing my own composition technique, which focuses on the liminal area between stochastic and spectral music, which I intend to use in my future compositions.

Although I have previously focused on writing music for the piano, since Autumn 2023, I have resumed writing vocal/choral, and chamber music.

Composers who have influenced me include Schumann, Chopin, Schoenberg, and Ligeti; however my formative musical inspiration is the music of Debussy.

*My music and poetry is copyrighted.*

Celtic fusion, acustic,  meditation mantras of the world, original music with a medieval celtic touch, traditional Irish music, world music.

I am Not a traditional guitar player. I've never learned another player's work, preferring any repetition or homage to be completely subconscious at most. The same can be said with my keyboard work.

Due to the complexity of many arrangements, I use a LOT of Stereo Imaging. Therefore, I recommend listening in stereo, as things may sound a bit muddy.

Local earth artist. Where love & kindness is considered weakness but the reality, is, it’s strength is in it’s endurance.

"I'm a mellow artist, ageing 69. I love and release eclectic music, from post-classical to drone. My fave instrument is the Mellotron."

Così, sinteticamente, di solito mi presento.

In genere compongo musica partendo dal suono delle tastiere, ma il mio vero strumento è il registratore.

O i software di registrazione.

"I was made for loving and making recorded music."

Confido da sempre nel potere evocativo e orfico della musica, nella sua capacità di riconsegnarci a mondi più veri e più giusti, più belli di quelli in cui di solito viviamo.

"Ich bin ein kosmische Kurier"

SoundCloud è la piattaforma musicale che preferisco perché è soprattutto il regno degli ‘amateurs’, di quelli che fanno musica per sé e per gli amici .. come quando da ragazzi si condividevano con gli altri le invenzioni e le creazioni .. io sostanzialmente sono rimasto lì e così .. non sempre, ovviamente, ma spesso ci trovo delle cose che valgono altrettanto - se non di più - rispetto a quelle più affermate e conosciute

Rodrigo Passannanti has built a compelling portfolio of immersive electronic works ranging from vintage synth explorations to deeply personal sonic meditations. 

He combines meticulous production, DIY mastery, conceptual depth, and collaborative spirit to guide listeners through vast internal and cosmic landscapes.

Mila is the ghost of a housewife from Warsaw, Poland, who has recently recorded several songs in the drone / shoegaze / minimal style. Mila likes smoking on the balcony, playing ghost songs and watching short YouTube videos like "5 Terrifying Waves Caught on Tape" or "10 Biggest Waves Ever Recorded". Arranges and records when children go to bed. She likes fuzzes, delays, phasers and other quirks. Sleepwalking.

All we see and all we seem is but a dream within a dream.

Valhjim is a music composer with an eclectic approach to different genres: rock, pop, folk, New Age, and experimental electronic music. Greatly driven by imagination and poetic imagery, he combines multiple instrumental textures to fire the imagination of his listeners. 

His more experimental ambience and electronic music is built with layers of suggestive sound textures, rhythms, and melodic lines that stir the imagination into suggestive imagery and worlds unseen, true architectures of sound that open up limitless spaces to explore. Often Valhjim's melodies sail through genre thresholds, crossing over from one genre to another, from neo classcal to electronic, or from jazz to rock or new age.

Valhjim is following
