Hanging out to Dry (2017)

Prokofiev meets electronica. When Gerleen Balstra commissioned this piece she asked for "Dance of the Knights" as a starting point. This led to one of my most well received pieces titled "Insides". The opening that is 8 minutes long is completely written in 3/4 time while maintaining a deep UK Bass inspired sound. Unconventional and deep is the transformation from the classical piece at the start.. Due to events happening during the process the piece progressed into a more manic and possessed space. A descent from ground to the wind. It all dissolves into a minimalist piano piece, delirium.
