Losing

Losing thumbnail

Losing, part of the Toonzetters album, is a poignant and minimalist piece, performed by Shane van Neerden, Ramon van Engelenhoven, Agostinho Sequeira, and Arjan Jongsma. The piece evokes a deep sense of melancholy and reflection through its delicate piano textures.

Toonzetters is an album featuring 20 composers, all in their twenties, who wrote 3-minute compositions for piano four- or two hands and/or percussion. The result is a diverse auditory portrait of the new generation of composers in The Netherlands, creating a continuous musical narrative. The compositions range from a solo piano piece with only a single octave of lonely but touching notes (Celia Swart – Loosing) to expansive electronic soundscapes (Dimitri Geelhoed – IJsjager), and from the infectious Persian musical language of Ramin Amin Tafreshi to the clean, clever Zoekspiegel by Arjan Linker.Losing is one of the emotional highlights of the album, performed by Shane van Neerden, Ramon van Engelenhoven, Agostinho Sequeira, and Arjan Jongsma. With its subtle, delicate piano textures, the piece evokes a quiet sense of melancholy, capturing the feeling of loss and introspection.
