This is my arrangement of David Bowie's song "Blackstar" re-imagined for string quartet.
The attentive listener will hear elements of Bowie's original composition throughout, along with a couple of quotes from Greig's Peer Gynt Suite. (The first quote appeared unintentionally, which led me to consider a connection between Henrik Ibsen's dramatic poem and where I took Bowie's music.)
I composed this over the course of several sessions, pretty much from beginning to end, and always in a trance. It was completed on January 1, 2026, and I decided to share it today, on Bowie's birthday.
If you are interested in seeing and performing the score, or using this music for dance or film, please message me.
Thank you for listening.
