Very nice composition and excellent performance.

Exquisite tone, subtle effective lines and interesting arrangment.

Congratulations on this piece Dika.  An interesting collage of textures and tone in the first half, contrasted with beautiful tender music in the second half.  I particularly liked the string only section towards the end and the faintest hint at the end of what I assume are motifs from the first part?  Really enjoyed listening to a live performance too.

Orchestral reading of my piece AGE at the Mostly Modern Festival https://mostlymodernfestival.org

Performed by the Mostly Modern Orchestra in Saratoga Springs, June 27th 2022.

Conducted by Drew Banzhoff.

Recorded by Arts Laureate. 

This piece is a very condensed idea about "AGE"-ing and the wild rides we embark on during that process. The AGE pitch motif is spread throughout the composition.

Lyrics:
I'm not ready to have this conversation with you, 
although we both had it times before
We end up in the same situation again the lack of
comprehension grows 'cause you wanted more

Rather let the truth remain unspoken
then more of theses lies. Our trust has broken
'cause the words won't come without tears and desperation 
I could never guide the way to your salvation 
But I'm afraid of losing your company
I could never give you what you need 
I'm just not ready.. to have.. this conversation again

I know you're ready to pull the trigger on it 
I just handed you the ammunition for it
Your desire warms only the barrel for the bullet 
the way you armed i just can wait for you until you pull it
So make me the target I'll take all of the hits 
I won't throw it in your face that you're the one who started this shit

Rather let the truth remain unspoken
then more of theses lies. Our trust has broken
'cause the words won't come without tears and desperation 
I could never guide the way to your salvation 
But I'm afraid of losing your company
I could never give you what you need 
I'm just not ready.. to have.. this conversation again.

I'm not ready to have this conversation

Chillout Night

“I don't remember my dreams too much. I hardly have ever gotten ideas from nighttime dreams. But I love daydreaming and dream logic and the way dreams go” - David Lynch
​
I love to express stories through music and explore the visceral space that surrounds them. Sometimes I’m interested in creating sound collages, or tapestries of sound that are varied in their nature but unified in their aesthetic aim. Other times I surrender to something lyrical. Most of the time, I feel compelled to make sense of the world, which is impossible. But, after some work, which includes frustration, and occasional eureka moments, I find deep meaning and satisfaction in my music, especially as I near the finish line and embark on a collaborative journey with fellow creatives.
