The first Prelude from my ongoing 'Preludes (for piano)' suite [2021-] , which uses serial techniques. The four transformations of the set complex are complemented by the additional use of free melodic inversion. I have dedicated the piece to my former composition teacher,

Volt5000 (@volt5000 and @mgxloop) and I are glad to present our 3rd song ever (after "Never Let Me Go", https://soundcloud.com/alexander-mihailov-96713983/never-let-me-go-roberto-b-alex-m, and "Fierce and Proud", https://soundcloud.com/alexander-mihailov-96713983/fierce-and-proud-roberto-b-alex-m), using MAGIX vocal samples integrated by Volt5000. In fact, it's again a long song, evolving and conceptual, like the other two. It continues our "Day by Day" collaborative sequence/album in progress (as track 4) under the title of "Day by Day 7 (The Invincible Song)". We hope you'll like it as much as our previous two songs and our earlier three rich instrumental compositions in this album.

The track was created in collaboration on 8-11 May 2022 (initial composition, mix and recording, further developments and arrangements, and final mix and recording in MAGIX by Volt5000) and 8-9 May 2022 (subsequent composition, arrangements and intermediate development, mix and recording in GarageBand and Logic Pro X by Alex M), and posted here on SoundCloud on 20 May 2022 (by Alex M).

The artwork cover for the track uses a conceptual idea of Volt5000 of 6 May 2022, implemented by Alex M (in PowerPoint) on 7 May 2022, then cropped and annotated with text by Alex M (in Mac OS Preview) on 11 May 2022 - in coordination and agreement with Volt5000.

Thank you so much, Volt5000, for this 3rd inspired song of ours - "The Invincible Song"!... And our thanks also go, of course, to the brilliant vocalist from the MAGIX sample!...

A lilting piece - in three and with a lot of 3-bar phrases - often with rising melodic shapes. There is a colder middle section in B minor with two-against-three rhythmic character

I have studied composition privately with Jaemus Downing, Philip Rayner, and Peter Nickol, although I am largely self-taught.
