Citizen of the world
Composer of multi-instrumental music, with a preference for longer, progressive and complexly arranged pieces.
Have played guitar for many years, but I am probably a slightly odd type of guitarist. Not particularily interested in the guitar genre, not too keen on listening to long solos, etc. I don't enjoy playing for people - a party-killer, in short. However, leave me alone with this wonderful tool (or the keyboard, which I play too), and I will start experimenting with it, searching for something to develop.
Strongly interested in classical music and anything remotely related to that. I want to construct music with a similar structure and complexity, although with other instruments, and in my own way...

During 2010-2013, I worked on a suite of related pieces, GUITARS PLAYED BY DS, with every sound played on the electric guitar. A major undertaking, and (all-in-all) 45+ minutes long, all complexly related and released in five segments.
During 2014-2015, the main focus was on the full-format 'LONG INSTRUMENTAL', a progressive work with lots of different instruments and sounds, restless and complex. Some sections stand on their own feet: MYSTERY, and FANFARE.
The 2014-2015 recordings also resulted in two shorter pieces: CAMBRIAN EXPLOSION and CLUSTER OF WARNINGS.
During 2015 I initiated a suite played on classical guitars - GUITAR STRUCTURES. It is a series of slowly changing ideas, a weave of melodies and harmony, the first section out in April 2015 (the 2nd came 2 years later).
I played guitars on Tolubai's wonderful ambient piece 'MEMORIES' (August 2015).
EARTHSHINE came out in January 2016; a darker and slightly dissonant progressive piece, and one of my personal favorites. So is SILENCE, out 1st July 2016. September 2016: IGNITION with TOLUBAI and LET THERE BE LIGHT 22th Sept 2016 with PuppyWolf.
20/11-2016: The OORT CLOUD PROJECT I-IX. An 18+ minutes long progressive synth-based instrumental, with lots of short guitar phrases integrated. Also, the spin-off PASSAGE was released.
GROTESQUE released too in the end of 2016. The 19th January 2017, I released the sketch OMMA CONTRAPUNCTUS PROJECT. The 4th February 2017, the track '3 WORLDS COLLIDE' was released.
'Guitar Structure No. 2' out in March 2017, took 2 years to complete.
BEST OF 2 WORLDS was released in November 2017, another personal favorite composition.
APPROACHING: an unfinished sketch released 1st April 2018. TAURUS IV released 8th April 2018.
New Years evening 2019, quickly improvising a track: DECADE. Uploaded 23:58 local time. It was a very fun way of ending the year and I used a symbolic art cover with red sweeping in, but I wouldn't have dreamed of what was to come soon.
One main project this year is the SNOWFLAKES VARIATIONS suite; the Prelude was released in January 2020.
8th April 2020: CREATURES RISING was released. CREATURES OF THE RAINFOREST also a spinoff track (released 2021).
In the Lockdown March-April 2020, I recorded 'Era', out of frustration...
5th June 2020: REPORT FROM PLANET THREE, which was initiated 31st May 2019.
31st July 2020: FORECAST was released. April 2021: ZUMMER ZNOWFLAKES, a 25 minute long track and one of my most ambitious ever.
OCTOBER 22, 2021: OUTPOST.
APRIL 28, 2022: The Disclosure (Part I).
SEPTEMBER 23, 2022: PEACE GUITARS.
OCTOBER 6, 2023: SHAMBOLIC GUITARS, possibly my best track ever.
