This is a collaboration with Taylor Brysiewicz.  Upon discovering an adequately functioning upright piano in the basement of the conference room at the Banff Centre (where we were both visiting for a conference on Random Algebraic Geometry), we decided to play some improvisational piano duets which led to this collaborative composition.  Taylor had the foresight to take a quick audio memo on his phone where we recorded a few excerpts alongside some commentary about the chord progression.  After returning home from the conference, Taylor turned our fragments into a completed piano part.  I then added a flute part while trying to maintain the impromptu spirit of the original, namely, by locking in some of the improvised phrases from my early takes (as opposed to indulging in my normal habit of making dozens of rounds of revisions).

Here's something for you - lyric video for this on YouTube.

Something For You

It will probably be the only piece I ever compose in my life because I’m not a musician and I believe I lack many of the qualities and virtues to be one. So, don’t expect much from me. Still, thank you for your support and for sharing.

🎧 🎹 This is a short piece for piano that started as an experiment and gradually took shape. In memory of the woman whose love and sacrifice made me the man I am—my mother 🌸

🎶 I will forever cherish the memory of her immense happiness in learning a short passage from Beethoven's *Ode to Joy* on the piano. Every night, before going to sleep, she would play those simple yet heartfelt notes. *Alma Edilma* is also a heartfelt tribute to a woman whose essence touched so many hearts 💗❤️💗

Probablemente será la única pieza que componga en mi vida, porque no soy músico y creo que me faltan muchas de las cualidades y virtudes para serlo. Así que no esperen mucho de mí. Aun así, gracias por su apoyo y por compartir.

🎹 Esta es una pequeña pieza para piano que empezó como un experimento y poco a poco fue tomando forma. En memoria de la mujer cuyo amor y sacrificio me convirtieron en el hombre que soy: mi madre 🌸

🎶 Siempre atesoraré el recuerdo de su inmensa felicidad al aprender un breve pasaje del Himno a la Alegría de Beethoven al piano. Cada noche, antes de dormir, tocaba esas notas sencillas pero emotivas. *Alma Edilma* es también un sentido homenaje a una mujer cuya esencia conmovió tantos corazones. 💗❤️💗

Lyrics:

I put myself aside
Did as you wanted
You never asked me how i feel..
I didn't say what i ment
Always let you to decide
What was the best for us...

But what about me?
What about my life?
Iam just as precious as you...

I gave you control
To lead the way for us
Thought it would be easier for me...
I became invisible
Couldn't even see myself
But i didn't have the courage to say

What about me?
What about my life?
Iam just as precious as you...

Ohhh, what about me?
What about my life?
Iam just as precious as you...

I almost got lost
Became my own shadow
Was about to erase all of me..
I realized that I matter too
And i am just as important as you...

So what about me?
What about my life?
Iam just as precious as you..

Change will come
I will take control
And not be quiet anymore..
I want to be seen
I want to be heard
When i speak out the words..

What about me?
What about my life?
Iam just as precious as you....
