About the composer:
Iason Maroulis is a young Greek composer and trumpet player based in London. He is interested in the envelope of sound and in its manipulation through both acoustic and electronic means. He is trying to explore the ways that sound is produced in acoustic instruments and ways in which it can be organized in order to create sonorities and gestures, where an ensemble functions as one sound, whose members act as the different parts of this sound’s envelope.
Iason is currently an undergraduate Composition student at the Royal Academy of Music, studying with Rubens Askenar
About the tree:
To our shame, we have not properly identified this specimen. In our defense, there are hundreds of varieties of cherry.
About the composition:
The music for this tree tries to highlight the elegance and the fragility of this tree. Multiple pure frequencies have been combined to create a complex sonority which still retains the delicate image of this tree.
