DISCOGRAPHY

A selection of recordings I played on:

As a leader:

Bram Weijters & Chad McCullough - Pendulum

(CD release, november, 2018, Monks and Thieves / shiftingparadigmrecords)

Pendulum is a 25-movement suite inspired by the musical genius of Bach...
The music based on a common musical cell that evolves through 24 pieces, progressing with a structured order through all twelve key-centers twice, with a final reprise at the end, just as a clock circles twice a day through tweve hours, before the next day.

All music composed and arranged by Bram Weijters
Produced by Chad McCullough and Bram Weijters
Bram Weijters - piano, wurlitzer, rhodes, moog
Chad McCullough - trumpet
