I was a freshman in college when I discovered the synthesizer. Since then, I haven’t looked back. Here are some synth-pop instrumentals I’ve produced over the years.
Inspired by early 20th century music, specifically Debussy and Poulenc, the drifting, meandering nature of this programmatic piece paints a scene of snowflakes settling on a cold winter evening. Written as an undergraduate student.
A short, lyrical piece reminiscent of Scriabin and Chopin. Performer is Steven Kim, recording taken on August 11th 2011 in Las Vegas.
A tribute to the 19th century genre, Nocturne means “night-song” and is often associated with pensive and melancholic moods. Performer is pianist Guy Urban, recording taken from a recital on May 6th 2010 at Wheaton College. Written as an undergraduate student.
The piece is a condensed movement, from an unfinished grander work revolving around the four seasons. I was privileged enough to have the piece performed by the talented Aurea Ensemble at Wheaton College on May 6th 2011 along with several other pieces.
