P. Kellach Waddle maintains an extremely active and lauded career as a
composer, soloist, ensemble musician, and conductor. He has held both section
and titled positions in over a dozen festival and professional orchestras
including his current position as a member of the Austin Symphony Orchestra
in Texas (USA). He has composed more than 620 works to date and has been
awarded many prizes, notably an Austin Critics' Table Award for his String
Quartet No.2, three nominations as possible finalist for The Pulitzer Prize,
four nominations as State of Texas Musician of the Year, and four as a
semi-finalist for The American Prize. Quotes about his music include: '?with
all of these luxurious harmonies and melodies, [Waddle] may be the American
Rachmaninoff ' and '?the sheer volume of wonderfully effective music he
composes?borders on the inhuman.' P. Kellach Waddle continues to emulate
such composers as Paul Hindemith, now having written a major solo work,
chamber music solo part, or concerto for every single standard orchestral
instrument apart from timpani. He is eclectic and prolific continuing to
compose for instruments which are neglected, including his extensive and
growing number of pieces for contrabassoon and perhaps most notably, more
than 200 solo and chamber works for his own instrument, the double bass.
After one of his many International Society of Bassists convention
performances an ISB convention official stated '... [Waddle] is obviously now
one of the most creatively thrilling solo bassists in the world!' A busy
guest conducting schedule has taken him to venues such as Lincoln Center and
Carnegie Hall in New York City and he also served as director of the Austin
Philharmonic Orchestra for more than two seasons. Vampire Dust was premiered
at Templecombe Village (Somerset, UK) on Sunday 22 January 2017 by Alex
Heather (double bass), David Heyes (double bass) and Jan Cowell (double bass).
