Written over the course of 5 days in the summer of 2023, Brueghel's Winter tells the story — and was directly inspired by — Pieter Brueghel's 1565 masterpiece Hunter's in Snow, and Walter De La Mare's eponymous poem about the same subject.

Brueghel's painting finds us looking at brief moment; of hunters being caught in action. The music stretches this single painted frame out with a dramatic narrative arc over the course of 6 minutes by telling the audience what might've occurred, before and after that single captured image.

We start at night, while the hunters are still sound asleep, we follow them going about their day, while at some point in the middle Brueghel's actual painting is finally expressed through music.

Much gratitude also needs to be owed to Diederik Glorieux and Hannes Vanlancker for their expert compositional guidance throughout the writing process.
