Zandzeebar (2015)
The title of this solo piece “ZandZeeBar”, was derived from a beach pavilion on
the isle of Terschelling with the same name (which means, roughly translated:
Sand, Sea, Bar). The piece consists of three inner movements, which transcend
smoothly from one to another, describing “Sand”, “Sea” and a pub in musical
material, making the piece go from a very rough texture with a lot of extended
techniques to a more ‘funky’ way of playing (70’s–80’s style, the kind of disco
music Baritone Saxes were used in a lot).
Hatoverheals (2015)
Hat|Over|Heals is a solo percussion piece composed for percussionist Konstantyn Napolov. The work consists of numerous motifs that gradually evolve from static to fast-paced movement, culminating in a surreal polka in which the percussionist tries to tame the Hi-Hat, which, for some reason, seems to have taken on a life of its own.
That All Changes (2014)
That all changes is a short piece that explores the more percussive side of the
guitar. The piece starts with a short statement that soon forms the basis of an
ongoing stream of melodic semiquaver figures, taking twists and turns via different
style quotations and jazz licks. At the end of the piece, the guitar is almost fully
transformed into a percussion instrument; the tonal material from the beginning
is still there, but bares little to no function anymore.
