"Please stand clear." A soundbite given to me by choreographer Heidi Vierthaler. She got inspired on the Tokyo subway and recorded a bit of film there to be used as projection. I took my liberty and made please stand clear the catchphrase for a beefy piece of urban inspired contemporary music. One of the first pieces I composed that really digs into the potential of current day urban music combined with contemporary dance and soundscapes. It turned into a really interesting blend of influences. Please stand clear, I'm dancing here!
This piece of music was given a second life during the NDT summer intensive where I was commissioned to rework the music for a new piece.
