Music & Conservatory Pieces

"Andromeda is a solo instrument composition.
Just an electric bass guitar, nothing else.""The title refers to the Andromeda Galaxy, which is at least 2.5 million light-years away from Earth. Inside the galaxy is the star constellation named after a Greek princess, Andromeda. This composition looks at a variety of interesting approaches, melodic lines, and expressiveness amid the vastness of space and darkness. It spreads them out to create a new universe that you can explore. Please wait until you see a whole new world.""This is for Cliff Burton, who played bass for Metallica from 1982 to 1986. He is one of many bass players I look up to, and they motivate me to practice harder and devote myself to music as a self-taught bass player. Thank you, Cliff. You'll always be in my heart.""In memory of Cliff Burton (1962–1986)""Bach is God."

Andromeda
(2024) Solo Instrument Composition

"Kopernikus is a minimalist J-Rock/Metal composition, repetitive, ear-catching, and engaging. The title of this piece is a direct nod to Nicolaus Copernicus (1473–1543), a Polish astronomer who is known for his proposal of the heliocentric model. Stating that the planets (e.g., Earth, etc.) revolve around the Sun and placing it as the center of the solar system.""The piece is constructed in a way that mirrors the idea of orbiting, with repetitive melodic lines and rhythmic patterns serving as "planets" that revolve around the "sun" in the middle. The core theme is that of love: a confession of dedication and affection. The idea that one exceptional individual becomes the center of everything, comparable to the heliocentric approach. It represents the emotional significance of this connection, in which this individual is no longer merely a person but the sun in one's own solar system.""They’re the ones who keep you together, strong and united forever."
