2005-2007 Private study with composer Edward Mekhraliev | detailed description of my work, discography, participation in competitions etc | Dominic G. Joutsen is a composer and symphonist, working since 2003 in almost any genre and style. Mostly self-taught as a musician, Dominic studied essential composition in the renowned Gnessins State Musical College in Moscow. Practicing in writing orchestral music, he was learning musical theory, orchestration and conducting on his own. Also he developed an interest in ethnic, medieval and non-european music, still dealing closely with the traditional classical stock of scores.
Born in Moscow, Russia, to Swedish-Russian parents Dominic had no interest in music until his very late teens, when he encountered music of John Williams and Philip Glass that finally inspired him to compose himself.
A graduate from the State University for Humanities (a division of the Russian Academy of Sciences) with an M.A. degree in history, Dom is also carrying out the research on Russian emigrant musicians in 1920-s-40-s United States.
In the end of 2005 Dominic was invited by Russia's leading game-industry composer and producer Edward ‘UniComposer’ Mekhraliev to work at his Universum Soni production center and has since completed several scores to much anticipated video games, including "Battle for Motherland: 2025" and "Nick Perumov's Diamond Sword, Wooden Sword". Also he has contributed original music to Nigerian feature film “Freedom at Last” and international unreleased art-house movie “Gray World: The Guest”.
Dominic’s concert music was first performed in 2007 by East-Flanders Chamber Orchestra under the baton of Bruno De Schaepdrijver.
In his spare time Dominic writes poetry in English and enjoys making annoying noises with keyboards, recorder, clarinet, duduk, bansuri, shakuhachi, kena, pifano, tinwhistle, gemshorn, mandolin, komus, dan moi and Tibetan singing bowl. | information about me can also be found on this web page (pages) | | additional information | WORKING EXPERIENCE

| Track # 01 ---> listenTrack description: 'Drum 'Em Down!'
Heavy dance-trans loops vs. orchestra. Not that original though rather effective, and was a pure joy to write... Be accurate with your volume level! Track # 02 ---> listenTrack description: 'Forest Mist'
Some ethnic feel has found its way into this simple piece of music. There is a handful of ethnic flutes involved - several I performed myself. Track # 03 ---> listenTrack description: 'Looking Around'
This piece is a part of my 'A Faerie Tale' suite, so it employs children and comedy style elements alike. And... was it Danny Elfman who influenced on that one? Track # 04 ---> listenTrack description: 'City of the Clouds'
One more piece from 'A Faerie Tale', this time very beautiful and flowing, in my beloved Hollywood style. Track # 05 ---> listenTrack description: 'Clarinet Concertino, Part I'
One thing I really enjoy doing is bittersweet sad music, like this. I tip my hat to John Williams whose harmonic language is at large here. |
