Projects

Albert Kerekes & The Story Twisters - Principles

This is my first independent project as a leader and composer. The ideas for my music are usually triggered by events and feelings happening around and in me.

S'yo Fang Octet

The music S'yo Fang composes is a mix of music genres ranging from modern classical music to jazz. He wants his music to reveal the complex range of human emotions by transforming them into a sound that is both vintage and modern.
