Artist picture
Canadian composer of original jazz fusion.
I studied classical composition at Carleton University. I then moved to Montreal to study jazz composition with Andrew Homzy and Joe Sullivan. I am currently studying counterpoint in the Baroque style. My plan is to meld classical with jazz harmonies scored for an electronic orchestra.

Story behind the song
When I was at Carleton University I took a course on world rhythms. Part of the textbook focused on polyrhythms. I've always liked the feel of 4 against 3 (listen to some of the African blendings of Peter Gabriel) and wanted to write a piece based on that. The original concept was a traditional swing feel for the B section. However, the drum machine did not have any good loops for a slow 4/4 swing. I decided to do the Bossa Nova as it blended well with the 3/4 jazz waltz.
