Resthaven
I've been playing the piano for roughly eight years and compose cinematic/orchestral/soundscape music. I often collaborate with other musicians and enjoy playing music live - especially jazz. I also write and create visual art.
The music I'm interested in writing and composing blends the styles of cinema and film scores, ambience, and sometimes the tones of 1930's-40's jazz and progressive rock.
Resthaven is a piece that I especially enjoy because it's designed to be simple to play, yet harmonically interesting and intricate. The chord progressions and voicings are muted, sombre shells to represent the iterations of the various chords which allow the piece to move more freely throughout the progression. The music itself is designed to be contemplative and almost a musical eulogy. I hope you enjoy.
