DISCOGRAPHY

Baroque Inspiration for Solo Double Bass (NEW RELEASE)

I would like to dedicate this recording to Louis Di Leone (master luthier) and his family. I met Lou when I first came to the United States. He was one of a kind and a great friend. Over the years, I learned so much from him. Everybody remembers him for his generosity and kindness. We all miss him dearly. Thank you for everything, Lou!

David Gompper, composer
This two-movement work is the fourth in a series of compositions based on the Farey sequence, rendered as a visual model known as a Sunburst and made aural through a set of pitch mappings. Just as light from the sun, traveling through the valleys of the moon, seems to dance around the edges during a total solar eclipse, I was interested to position and use the double bass to suggest shadows, auras, glimpses of sound that are suggestive and ambiguous, often whispered and always muted.
