Hi guys,

This is my new project, Death and the Maiden.  It consists of famous string quartet composition arranged in a prog-metal style.  Right now there's some Schubert and Beethoven, and a little Bach Sinfonia.

You can check it out at http://www.deathandthemaiden.net - www.deathandthemaiden.net or http://www.myspace.com/deathmaiden - myspace .

If everything goes well, I should be putting out an EP in a month or two

Thanks, hope you like it.

Interesting and very well done! Thanks for sharing!

Have you seen the movie "Death and the Maiden"? Great movie IMO.

Edit: And if I may suggest a possible future project (I'm sure you have enough plans of your own though): Jean Sibelius, String Quartet in D minor Op. 56 "Voces Intimae", movement 4 - Allegretto (ma pesante). I believe that could work very well with your style.

Thanks for the tip, I love Sibelius in general, but haven't really checked out his string quartet yet...will definitely do.

And no, I haven' seen the movie...in fact I didn't know it even existed until I googled the name to see if anybody had taken it. Not much of a movie buff in gerneral.  Big smile

Neither am I, really, but that one's worth seeing, I think. And it does have a connection to the string quartet.

Glad you liked the Sibelius suggestion.

Just added a little video of me playing Bach's Sinfonia in B Minor:
