Hi, I’m Alexander Bithell — a versatile musician, pianist and composer based in Southampton, UK. I perform and play in three bands, and I’m passionate about music composition, performance and exploration, with a focus on new age and film score sounds as well as rock music. I also bring acting and singing experience to music productions, which has taught me the value of presence, emotional expression, and connecting with others. Driven by curiosity, I’m always seeking new experiences in music. I value responsibility and have a photographic memory, allowing me to quickly absorb and recall information, which aids memorizing scripts, scores, and details in work and study, enhancing my performance and productivity. I’m also bilingual in English and Spanish, and I know Catalan; I can communicate with others who don’t speak English and offer help when needed.

    paper Temple of the snake

    This project was about writing a piece in a modal key for saxophone quartet. I went on a trip to Sri Lanka where I got some inspiration on the temple of Mucilinda which is myth about a serpent deity protecting the buddha from a heavy rainstorm.

    So wrote this piece based on that myth which was then played and performed by a saxophone quartet from the UK called the Laefer Quartet during a saxophone workshop.
