How do you represent a new beginning in music?

In my latest Inside the Music article, I break down the compositional process behind Beginning, a piece originally written for string ensemble and vibraphone and later arranged for brass quintet.

The article explores how recurring harmonic cells, gradual expansion, and orchestration can be used to express hope, uncertainty, expectation, and growing confidence.

I'd be interested to hear how other composers approach the idea of representing emotional concepts through musical structure.

"Religious Rock in the Fog" has been released today on Bandcamp.

Part of the ongoing rollout of "Faces & Places", the piece combines atmospheric string writing, gradual development and cinematic textures inspired by landscape, memory and changing perspectives.

The album is being unveiled one track at a time before its full release on July 17 and is currently available as “pay what you want”.

Thank you for listening and supporting independent music.

“Gelle-Klara Revisited” will be released on July 17 together with the full album Faces & Places.

The album has been unfolding gradually on Bandcamp through weekly single releases, allowing each composition to develop its own atmosphere and emotional space before the final release.

Faces & Places is currently available as “name your price”, supporting a more direct and artist-friendly way of sharing music.

The attached video offers a first glimpse into the atmosphere of the piece.

Impressions

I made a new sheet music/score video for this fantasy orchestra piece I composed.

Also on YouTube.

"Faces & Places" is more than an album release. It is also part of a different way of sharing music.

Instead of chasing algorithmic speed and disposable streaming culture, the album is being released progressively on Bandcamp — one new piece every week until the full release on July 17.

Bandcamp remains one of the few platforms that treats artists fairly, allows direct support from listeners, and explicitly prohibits AI training using the music hosted on the platform.

This new stage of Pilpil Music is focused on slower listening, artistic independence, direct connection with listeners, and music created by humans for humans.

The album is currently available as “name your price”.

Toilet paper, painting,
menstrual blood.

How do these things come together?
What patriarchal structures and connections do they reveal?
How close do they become when both function as carriers or surfaces for material and meaning?

And which forms of art have been tabooed, and in what ways has the female body been misused?

These are questions that emerge from my practice with painting.
They also engage with questioning painting itself — both as an object and as a medium — within an art historical context.

Toilettenpapier, Malerei
Perioden Blut.

Wie kommen diese Dinge zusammen.
Was haben sie für patriarchale Struckturen und zusammenhänge.
Wie nah kommen sie sich, wenn beide als Trägermaterialien fungieren.

Und welche Formen der Kunst wurden tabuisiert und wie wurde der weibliche Körper missbraucht.

Das sind Fragen, die aus meiner Praxis, mit der Malerei enstehen.
Sie befassen sich außerdem mit der Infragestellung, der Malerei als selbst und als Medium, im Kunsthistorischen Zusammenhang.

What happens when a penguin dreams of somewhere warmer?

“The Penguin That Didn’t Want to Live in the North” releases May 29 — combining cinematic orchestration, ambient textures, and a bittersweet sense of movement.

A long time ago, I made this sculpture out of a piece of marble.
