This is my "Music From My Lens: A Musical Depiction of a Selection of My Photographs". It is a group of 8 movements based on 8 animal photographs of mine. It is my submission to the YC Summer 2017 composition competition. I have described the work in much more detail as well as providing a description of each movement in the attached PDF file called "Description of the Music and the Photos". That file also contains the 8 photos on which the music is based. I hope you enjoy the work. EDIT: GMT 12:45PM, minutes after posting, I uploaded the correct "Description of the Music and the Photos" PDF, since the old one had a photo missing!

It was so exciting to hear it! To be honest, I was pretty nervous, because I did not want to hear mistakes, whoops. The premiere was in an old house in Amsterdam and I found the acoustics much more suited for my piece. It turns out that the hall in the Vredeburg was a Jazz hall for electronic music. Acoustic music sounds too plain in my opinion. Nevertheless, I am very happy! The Keuris Quartet is one of the best (known) saxophone quartets in the world. They won many international rewards and they are of the highest level one can have. Their speciality is contemporary music, so you have heard that correctly!

Wow, it's amazing. You should be proud. Played live makes it incredibly beautiful. This quartet know how to do it in the style, it seems to me. Congrats!

Congratulations Maarten! The music is great. And the performance does it justice! It must have been great to hear it performed live!

Nice, Luderart ! :-) I love music, that are meant to describe something very specific. I think it is called concept music. Not to be confused with conceptual art. I appreciate your experiment and I appreciate the music.
