Concerto for iPad

Recently I finished composing a Concerto for the iPad and Orchestra, to be performed by the Sinfonia Rotterdam, Conrad van Alphen conducting and Keiko Shichijo as soloist.

Called 'Electronic Realms,' the premiere is in the Doelen, Rotterdam on the 1st of June.

Here is a little video I made about composing for the iPad. Link
