Not exactly sure who I will find? I live in the U.S. and was wondering if any local string players were willing to help me record two compositions of mine, one for string quartet (violin, violin, viola, cello), and the other is a cello duet. Both pieces are wonderful to play, and hear. If you are in the U.S. and are interested please contact me. You can find them below (MIDI Recordings posted too).

The piece played is 'Bach's Chromatic Fugue in d minor BWV 903'. A favorite of mine!

This is a slightly older video of two atonal compositions I composed which embrace complexity, and for their sake are "difficult for the sake of being difficult." Yes, this type of genre indeed exists.
Mathematically, rhythmically, chromatically, atonally, technically, and theoretically these two Atonal Etudes of mine pose separate challenges.
Atonal Etude #1- this piece is rhythmically stable, yet theoretically, chromatically, and atonally difficult to comprehend. Constructed harmonically ...

Music in its own entirety exhibits a vast multitude of wonders and stimulation, so much so that one cannot begin to describe an adequate universal experience received from just one such work, composition, or piece. This phenomenon examined under light arises due to an even more complex array of contributing factors both in the communication of, processing, exchange, understanding, ...
