Katahj Copley - DOPE | University of Texas Wind Ensemble | Weston Lewis, Conductor

[@toe7798]

Copley will write the most earth shattering, Super mario galaxy sounding, move-busting, most delicious pieces of music to ever bless our ears and will name it something like "Bruh"

Facts

[@bread_girl_jane]

[@toe7798]

[@suno186]

this guy went to my high school, what a legend

[@joshuahardison6712]

just read this for the first time at USF and this is my new favorite piece EVER. i sat there enjoying every sound and hearing Hiatus Kaiyote, to the funky JD BECK hi-hat, to the disgusting funkiness of snarky puppy in some parts

[@jamessylercomposer5770]

Excellent work, Katahj. I can hear your influences coming through, especially Miles and the Gil Evans era. As an old ex-jazzer I hear what used to be referred to as "third stream" but now is the natural expression influences coming through without artifice. The ideals of the old movement are now assimilated. Keep going.

Bravo Katahj and Weston🔥

[@minnesotarailfan12]

Immediately hooked from the low reeds and brass at the beginning- this is amazing!!!

[@composermaxofficial]

Katahj has some of the best music out there.

[@scottclements9029]

Wow! What an enjoyable composition. Thank you for making a perusal score available for this. The bass bone writing is off the hook! Great piano voicings. Everything is so fun to listen to.

[@carlinleemusic]

Just heard this last night at Western Uni, this piece was killer, loved your story for it too

[@stephensteele4754]

What a nice piece! Thank you!

[@minnesotarailfan12]

Also, the bell at the end and the vibe of the piece just gives off locomotive/railroad vibes, which probably wasn’t intentional but I love it all the same as a railfan!

[@brandonshenmusic]

BRAVO! Absolutely incredible work.
