Several days ago Arty's mother (http://soundcloud.com/luche007) asked us if we can compose a piece for strings for the book she is writing. I've never composed anything for strings before but I thought I'd give it a try. Here is the short synopsis of the book:
-----
Somewhere HERE, on the Earth, lives a 10-year old boy, Roma, who is dreaming about his classmate girl and a pair of racing skates as a present under a Christmas tree. Perhaps his dreams will come true one day but now he is in coma after an accident and doctors are fighting for his life.

Somewhere THERE, in a parallel world of Celesta, lived a 10-year old boy, Romy, a little violinist-wunderkind who was dreaming about becoming a famous composer. His dreams will never come true because Romy died from the acute meningitis some time ago. The only opus he could write was “The Light of a Burnt Star”.

How are the fates of the two boys intertwined? Will the light of a burnt star reach us?
-----

We may compose several more pieces for this book. This particular piece is about Romy's last concert, when he performed the opus he composed. During the second, technically the most challenging part Romy suddenly stopped playing and looked helplessly into the hall. It has never happened before. The orchestra paused, the audience stood still - could it be that Romy forgot the score? Realizing that, although being a prodigy, Romy was still a child, the audience decided to support him with applause, but Romy suddenly became very pale, swayed and fell unconscious. He only had time to raise his hands high, to avoid damaging the violin.

Arty helped me with ideas and made the final mix. He also drew the artwork sketch.

Jean "Django" Reinhardt (23 January 1910 - 16 May 1953) was a pioneering virtuoso jazz guitarist and composer.Born into a family of Romani gypsies Reinhardt invented an entirely new style of jazz guitar technique (sometimes called 'hot' jazz guitar) that has since become a living musical tradition within French gypsy culture. With violinist Stéphane Grappelli, he co-founded the Quintette du Hot Club de France, with Reinhardt's brother Joseph and Roger Chaput on guitar, and Louis Vola on bass,described by critic Thom Jurek as "one of the most original bands in the history of recorded jazz."
January 23, 2011, Django Reinhardt's 101 Anniversary Of Birth, so I decided to make my tribute to this set full of very good house music and good samples influenced by Django Reinhardt's guitar or Stephane Grappelli´s violin. Electro Manouche for all.
