You really captured that sad feeling, I like how the two violins works together

The Sadness has entered the @re-ex Best of the Rest chart at no.1, congratulations! Beautifully arranged... A highly evocative piece, great work! 🙂

May I ask for the source of the track image? Adds another meaning to the music. One man seems to reflect soberly on something other, something more real, tangible and profound, than what amuses the mass of white bourgeoisie. Perhaps the illicit sources of their ill-gained wealth and superficial pleasures? I feel that the track image was well-chosen. Makes a lot of sense.

You are one hell of a composer, lovely string arrangement, breathtaking

Beautiful and haunting. The name fits the music. Great work. 10

Good Classical I Found 3

PROGRAM NOTES
Although Deep Blue Ocean is not meant to be overtly programmatic, I thought it would be wonderful to explore the oceanic depths, so during a trip to the Gulf of Mexico I became a certified scuba diver. I was truly inspired, whether by the large rolling waves on the open sea, the delicate back and forth of beds of seaweed, the vibrant colors of fish clustering around cities of coral, or the beams of sunlight that cascade over the ocean’s surface.

I was also inspired by my four year old son Dylan: his name means ocean or god of the seas in Welsh; he is an Aquarius, which means the water bearer; he is an excellent swimmer, and he loves listening to a movement of one of my choral works entitled Infinite Oceans.

While writing this piece, I could not have known that the worst oil spill in U.S. history would occur just north of where I visited. The darker moments in this work are the result of this tragedy. It is in three connected movements: The Darkness Below, Sunbeams and Waterfalls, and Accents and Waves.

Deep Blue Ocean is written for Steven Gosling and Blair McMillen of the American Modern Ensemble and is dedicated to my son Dylan.

The Sadness

The main theme is another one from my distant teenage years, written on a small keyboard as a flute tune. 
My friend like it, so we fooled around with it and even recorded a song called ''Field of Dew'', as a satine of folkish/radio friendly love songs popular in Dalmatia, that alone probably influenced me to use the theme for a romance-like composition.
Sentiment and content wise, it is very personal, filled with melodies reminiscing all of turmoil one can experience in love, from happy moments like the first glance in the shared with one another in a crowd during a Metallica cover band concert, strolling through the sun bathed forest of Gorski Kotar, and many more, both happy and unhappy. 
This piece is dedicated to Vanja Kalemba, the mother of my son and also the author of many paintings I use as a art cover of my compositions.

Romance For Piano, B-flat Lydian

Never judge by appearances, like a book by its cover. Only freaks do that.

Freak

While I was composing my F-sharp minor Fantasy, I found myself stuck on a particular middle section, struggling to find the right variation to complete the piece. Eventually, I succeeded, but before that happened, I wrote numerous segments that didn’t quite fit into the piece.

Fortunately, some of these discarded variations began to resonate with each other, leading to the creation of smaller pieces that I grew very fond of. The first of these became my Prelude in F-sharp Minor, and the second, the Moment Musicaux in A Major.

These two compositions share some motivic figures down to the note, yet in feeling and meaning, they couldn’t be more different. Despite the brief scope of the Moment Musicaux in question, I believe there is much to discover within it, with every new small section providing something unique and unexpected.

Thinks she’s hot
With the black around her eyes
Tries to look bad
But she’s an angel in disguise

Sharpened up her nails
And filed her teeth
Nobody’s fooled
She’s a softie underneath

She shaved half her head
And she’s covered in tattoos
Inked all over
With reds and greens and blues

And she puts on clothes
Like the Whore of Babylon 
Such a nice girl
Ain’t seducing anyone 

Be a devil
Be a devil
Be a devil
Be a devil 

Gotta get evil
Gotta be more nihilistic 
Gotta break some rules
Gotta buy some darker lipstick

Gott love the darkness
And hate the light 
Gotta  be a devil 
And you’ll be all right.

What happens when you strip a SUNO chanteuse (kinda Indian) from all her instrumental appendage, and you put her to a totally independently created track (kinda Balearic)? 
Have a listen ...

Air J.S. Bach

Gracias a quien fue mi hogar, techo y lluvia. Que la gente se de cuenta que aquí se me llenó el pecho de vida y nadie volverá a habitar esta historia como yo. <3 

Make it Up

I write retro-style songs and short classical pieces. Check it out!

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.
