Description:

A dreamlike world depicted in the tranquility of the Corona Disaster, where jazz and contemporary music gently blend. Using compositions and musical ideas reminiscent of jazz, the piece depicts a dreamlike, transforming world with electric modulations. The style of the piece is like a free jazz or fusion piece that has been adapted to contemporary music with a multi-movement or variation structure, but the sound itself is very beautiful, and the acoustics are simple. The sound itself is very beautiful and the acoustics are simple. It is a mysterious work that even exudes a sense of calm. This is a high-quality SACD hybrid disc. Cycles was composed between October 2020 and February 2022. I wrote it not for a commission, but to realize an old dream, taking advantage of the serenity of a society made stagnant by the corona. It is a musical dream that lies somewhere between contemporary music and jazz."The small jazz ensemble of just piano, drums, and melody instruments I heard at the conservatory in Rotterdam, where I worked for many years, and the influences of Cecil Taylor, Weather Report, and Dave Weckl, a jazz drummer who has videos on YouTube, mixed with my own age I mixed my feelings about my age with the idea of writing great "rings" like Bach and Beethoven's Variations." What I composed was not jazz per se. What I composed is not jazz itself, but the memory and echo of jazz as heard by someone who knows little about jazz." (Peter-Jan Werhemans) King International
