These are compositions that are more based on "sound" than
on songwriting.
These compositions are as acoustic as they are electronic, but the important
thing is that they are mainly about sound.
The following compositions are notated compositions for ac. instruments.
Pelagia Noctiluca (for String Quartet) (2009)

Mark IJzerman - Pelagia Noctiluca by maaark
String quartet written for a school assignment. This is a recording of a rehearsal.
I tried to use techniques that I use a lot when doing electronic music in the
acoustic domain. Also I used a lot of Messiaen's techniques to generate
note-material. The piece is about the Pelagia Noctiluca, a luminescent
jellyfish. The piece has five "parts" which all take a different look at the
jellyfish and it's surroundings.
Cello Study I (2009)

This solo piece for cello was written for a school assignment in which
we learned about the compositional methods used by Messiaen and
Stravinsky. My goal was to compose with not a lot of material, while
having a diverse piece in the end.
Sadly, there's not a proper recording of this piece yet. If you are a
cellist and would like to play it, please contact me.
