About this project
***Please click UPDATES above to view my daily updates***
As an award-winning composer and instrumentalist, I am constantly seeking to deepen my roots and broaden my horizons. In this spirit I have undertaken a 31-day Bach-style Chorale challenge, and intend to compose and record all 31 original pieces with myself on soprano saxophone and three close friends for the remaining instruments.
For those unfamiliar with the the Chorale, it was popularized by J.S. Bach in the 18th century and uses four independent, interweaving voices to musically and creatively express text, each piece lasting 1-2 minutes. While my works will remain instrumental (no voice), the challenge remains to discover new harmonic approaches within myself while deepening my connection to Bach's form.
All 31 pieces will be recorded and publicly released. Your contributions will help fund artistic, recording, mixing, mastering and artwork fees. Creating and sharing this music helps me grow as a person and musician by enabling me to share my art with the world.
