A huge thank you and congratulations to everyone who was involved, and to @eatmoreartvegas for broadcasting it!!
“Pale Blue Dot” is written for marimba, percussion, and string quintet, and is inspired by the famous Voyager 1 photograph of planet earth. Check my bio for a link to the video!
Feeling so much love from everyone who came over to celebrate today! ❤️🥰🥰

🎵 NEW MUSIC FROM @alex.stopa Eat More Art Vegas is proud to share his latest original composition — a stunning piece built around a hypnotic sextuplet rhythmic motif. Minimalist vibes. Lush textures. Multiple instruments weaving in and out of shifting tonalities. ✨
It’s the kind of piece you’ll want to hear more than once.

The garden is looking so happy this time of year! Herbs do really well with afternoon shade in the Vegas heat. Genovese basil, Thai basil, oregano, parsley, mint, thyme, sausage dog!
Such a great time at the Festival Internacional De Percusiones in Chihuahua, Mexico! I performed my new concerto “Pale Blue Dot” with the orchestra. They sounded amazing! Thanks @gabrielaov_percussion for organizing such a great event!
