Very good work and superb orchestration 🎻🎻

Nice instrumentation,  well achieved this magnitude of sound that makes a composition sound epic

CLASSICAL - RE

This is the result of a project I had in mind for a long time. To create something with a shamisen, a Japanese guitar. Deeply inspired by the Yoshida Brothers.

52. M-Drid's  Journey with a Shamisen (しゃみせんの旅)

Lyrics

Make a palace out of this dreary room
Harsh electric lights reveal a hidden allure 
Come, take your glass, let the grimness go
Fragile, unlikely charm at moments so rare
Old coat, a smoke, you say: “Let’s have one more”
“Good night” on the street, I make my way home
Lonely night, your image clear
The fog will lift by morning light

Dreary

Short modern classical piece for string quartet. Atonal style with patterns and musical phrases circulating from one instrument to another. 

Nightmare

Based upon the traditional Celtic tune “When The Pipers Play”, lyrics by Eric Dentinger (2020), inspired by Bruce Springsteen and Rabbie Burns…
Fear cannot be an answer…

Another day for you and me
Another gloom far from the sea
The days are gone, I just can see
Can we go back to the days of free?

The land of freedom, the land of hope
Did fade away, ran off the road
The main street dogs still howl in vain
We miss so much the promised land

I’ll pack my bag, despise the fears
Will hit the road and close my ears
The freemen stand, the freemen fall
Just let me do, respect my call

Can we go back to those days of free?
Just let me do

And let me be

PROGRAM NOTES
Prison Cell is a ten-minute percussion duet that musically, theatrically and symbolically represents a prison cell. The work centers around variations of a traditional, tonal theme and an original, more dissonant theme. The original theme and its variations are taken from a tone row built on the scale degree one half step above the tonal theme. This tonal theme is continuously alluded to through modulations, variations, chromaticism and dense, slowly evolving rhythmic and chordal structures. When the central, tonal theme is finally introduced, it is never completed, creating tension that is prolonged through the second half of the piece. The tonal theme eventually becomes immersed in the tone row and gradually fused into the original theme. The mutated, skeletal rhythmic motive of the tonal theme is all that remains.

The percussionist inside the set-up represents a prisoner. The percussionist outside the set-up plays two roles: when walking behind, this player represents the oppression of the cell; when walking in front, the player represents influences on the cell by outside forces such as prison guards. The tubular chimes represent the bars of a cell.
