Gulliver Thompson
With Reckless Abandon
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.
This piece is designed to sound similar to a lullaby with ambient, ethereal overtones. To make the track reminiscent of childhood and distant memory, I combined a high-pitched bell and a celesta to create a unique music box-like sound to lead the melody. The piece also moves through different phases of minimalism and orchestral tone to make the track more musically interesting. Enjoy!
