"A few years ago, I was introduced to the choreography of Maria Gillespie and her company ‚Oni Dance". I immediately connected with Maria"s work, and was especially drawn to her music selections. I gave Maria my first two albums and some months later (summer 2006), she incorporated my track "To reveal interiors" into her beautiful, haunting piece "La hora de salir." It was the first time that I had seen dance choreographed to my music. Some years later, Maria mentioned she was working on a new piece and asked if I would write the entire score. She was accustomed to creating choreography first and adding music late in the process, but with this new work she wanted to start with the music and use that as inspiration for the choreography. I said yes on the spot and started working the next day, even before I had the benefit of Maria"s direction. The dance, titled "The splendor of Gretel," premiered to a sold out audience at the Ford Amphitheater in Hollywood. Seeing Maria"s stunning work set to the music I created for her that night was a deeply moving experience." - Bryan Konietzko, December 2009 - Even if you will never have the opportunity to watch the dance score, this album works perfectly as a mindscape soundtrack. Electronic sounds, classical strings, guitars and gentle vocals are the components for this fascinating work of art. Stylistically, "The sound of love impermanent" can be described as an amalgam of ambient and contemporary orchestral music enriched with the addition of post rock structures. A remarkable release by a well-respected artist - give it a try!Released late April, 2010 on Ant Zen.
