Good Classical I Found 8

Scc23096   Asynchronicities   And Synchronicities 8

On several occasions, throughout various compositions of mine, I’ve emphasized how a melody or theme was based on something I wrote long ago, during my teenage years.
In this instance, the main theme is probably one of the very first things I ever composed—likely my first 'Eureka' moment, when I first gained some clarity about my musical gifts. Needless to say, this melody holds immense personal significance.
After all this time, I’ve finally decided to properly honor it by writing a set of variations.

Ode For Piano, A Minor, No. 2

"'Spring Waltz' is a gentle and luminous invitation to renewal. On a hushed piano, each note dances lightly, evoking the first days of spring. Between neoclassical and emotional minimalism, this piece captures the freshness of the season and the awakening of feelings. Ideal for accompanying your moments of reflection, study, or relaxation."

📝 Description

"Tango in the Rain" sweeps you into a world where every drop of water becomes a heartbeat and every note a whispered promise. Picture a cobblestone street drenched under a silver glow, footsteps echoing as violin and piano entwine in a passionate embrace. The sultry melody of the violin weeps with longing, while the cello’s warm timbre pulses like a lover’s steady breath. The piano’s chords glisten — each keystroke a raindrop dancing on your skin.

As the storm intensifies, the quartet’s rhythm tightens: viola strokes snap like lightning, and the cello’s low-register whispers anchor you in a moment of shared vulnerability. The interplay of solo lines and lush harmonies evokes a stolen midnight rendezvous, drenched in longing and defiance. You can almost feel the dancers’ wet shoes sliding across the pavement, their bodies in perfect tension, surrendering to the music’s electric current.

Here, sorrow and joy swirl together, creating a tapestry of desire that is at once urgent and tender. "Tango in the Rain" isn’t just a piece — it’s an invitation to lose yourself in a torrential romance that refuses to let go.

Tango in the Rain

During my teenage years, I composed quite diligently, creating many themes and tracks for my own enjoyment on my old Yamaha keyboard. However, that ended abruptly when I reached my twenties. I bought a new keyboard (the old one had broken down — a very sad moment), more advanced and expensive, but somehow I wasn’t able to do much with it, almost as if the magic was lost. That hiatus lasted a decade.
It was not a wasted decade, though, because I plunged deeply into listening to 18th- and 19th-century classical music, refining my taste and shaping my own musical identity.
The main theme of this Rondo somehow heralded a new era of composing. During a boring meeting with some association committee 7-8 years ago, my mind drifted far away, and the theme just appeared out of nowhere, almost completely fleshed out.
It was then that I became certain it was time to return to music.  Last month I've finally felt obliged to do a proper honour to the melody and to build a piece around it.

submission for Weekly Note Composing Jam #37 hosted by emscottish for Itch.IO October 2025

It's maybe messed up a little by the MixCraft 10.6 global effect i chose at the very last minute with like 20 minutes to go: but just approach it like "We're in the late 70's at a Jarre concert in France and we're way at the farthest worst seating in the venue and theres crappy echo on everything. LFG!"  Approached in that way and now after a few hearings I am starting to be more forgiving of it.

Ferromagnetic Frolic submission for Weekly Note Composing Jam #37 hosted by emscottish October 2025

Carefully done timing fix to a pretty good early Synth track from near the end of the Hexa album in August 2023, appropriately during the wildfire season but hearkening back to the days in 2020 when we weren't sure if some of the fires during that contentious year were arson or activists or both.

Track Art has 3 overlays:
1) the original which is a real image of the 2020 wildfires somewhere like a MSM photo
2) an imagining of an intelligence community situation map showing which fires were really set on purpose or not (a "top secret" NORAD like map with a general looking like Kiefer Sutherland in "24" nonsense)
3) a nod to the fact that Yellow Face is Gollum's name for the sun, so a TA 3017 evoking image of the orcs around him and they don't care because they know Sauron released him

The Yearn Of A Camelopard / The Turn Of An Ambiguous Trick

A therapeutic journey into a mix of jazz, classical, and a blend of types of electronica.  And a wry, gradual observation that promotion tends to only go as far as you push it.  At least I make my fellow musicians laugh a little.
