about

Super excited to announce my latest soundtrack “Vanitas + Viriditas,” the second collaboration with my artist brother Josh Tiessen. The painting series of the same name has been exhibited in NYC, Miami and is coming to Toronto (opens Feb.) with this score accompanying it. It was pure joy getting to sculpt custom sounds, and I even learned new instruments, like harp and bass vi. I also recorded with an orchestra for the first time, Budapest Scoring Orchestra. The main themes are inspired by the two unique characters from the paintings: Sophia and Qohelet. Their motifs overlap in an epic finale on the title track as these characters interact for the first time (as seen on the album art). Big thanks to all the musicians who contributed to this project and, of course, my brother for letting me run free with my musical ideas!
