At the beginning of the year I was contacted by a Canadian artist Psudaform who had an idea to do a remix of my track Sumer. Having listened to his music, I agreed immediately, especially because to my knowledge this is the first remix of any of my songs. The result is very cool. The [...]

Sumer
New piece that started with a Stick idea and later a breakbeat. Sumer by Kaspar TORN
Animals as Leaders – David
I've wanted to play something from AaL for quite a while, but it was hard to find a suitable candidate for more than just a few riffs. I remember, I had a try with this piece at the very beginning of my Stick playing, which was over 10 years ago and abondoned it because it [...]
VoxTrot
A song idea that once started with a Japanese vocal synth and an electronic beat.Decade later I arranged it to a complete piece of music. Adding more growly vocal synth parts, the Stick and my other usual stuff. VoxTrot by Kaspar TORN
Opeth “Dirge for November”
This is my version of the excellent ending section of Opeth's "Dirge for November". It's my first attempt at adapting a solo guitar piece for the Stick. Usually I've tried to arrange material with multiple instruments, but with this piece I found that sometimes one is enough. The guitar range fits the Stick nicely, but [...]

Later the initial synth sounds were replaced for the most part though. At first it seemed that this time the process will [...]

Agregaator started from an idea that I had recorded while experimenting sticking various objects between Stick strings. The main idea is prominent at various places in the piece: among othes, right at the start played [...]
Tycho – Awake (Chapman Stick Cover)
This is my attempt at playing my all time favourite song from Tycho on the Chapman Stick.It's a minimal arrangement with just the Stick and drums, with a bit of help from 16th note delay. https://youtu.be/q-9SHr3ocH4 The original: https://tycho.bandcamp.com/album/awake
Topufall Arpeggios
I started this song during the summer vacation on a laptop with, using a limited selection of plugins and a computer keyboard. Later during the fall at my home studio it kept growing and eventually I got to recording the Stick parts as well. The middle long-note melodies are the Stick with e-bow and additional [...]
