Symphony for Chamber Orchestra - 1st Movt: Allegretto

Silesian Beskids I

✨ Silk and Iron ✨
by Alexandru Sorin Ciobanu Al Rufei
Dedicated to my ballet students

In a world where grace is born from discipline, and strength is hidden behind every delicate step, "Silk and Iron*"was inspired by the silent poetry of my ballerina students and the beauty of a timeless collaboration with a gifted ballet teacher.

This piece is a tribute to the invisible dialogue between music and dance — between the softness of silk and the resilience of iron.
It flows like fabric through winter air, echoing the passion, fragility, and determination that define the soul of every dancer.

Let yourself be carried by this musical reverie — where each note becomes a step, each silence a breath, and each phrase a pirouette through memory and dream.

LYRICS: 
(Verse 1)
The stars are shining bold and bright
Red and blue in the firework's light
The air is warm the flags held high
Freedom echoes in the sky
(Chorus)
Boom and crackle light the air
Voices singing everywhere
Celebrate with hearts so true
Red, white and blue it's what we do

(Verse 2)
Grills are blazing smell that feast
Laughter spreads from west to east
Kids are running sparklers glow
In the land we love and know

(Chorus)
Boom and crackle light the air
Voices singing everywhere
Celebrate with hearts so true
Red white and blue it's what we do

[Bridge]
Let’s remember where we’ve been
The struggles fought the battles win
For liberty we raise our cheers
Together strong through all these years

(Chorus)
Boom and crackle light the air
Voices singing everywhere
Celebrate with hearts so true
Red, white and blue it's what we do

Let Freedom Ring

I'm going to start doing some live looping performances on TEOP1 so this is a random practice session that is kind of Jam Band / Scat / Funk.  There is a 4-track on the TEOP1, so I can start out with drums or scat and then hit a key to end the loop, then just keep playing live and kind of overdub onto the other 3 tracks, and then also add in breaks by holding on one of the tracks while playing a B section.  I just live improvised the bass loop and then improvised the organ and keys as I went.  Random mood today, sorry to my dubstep and ambient fans :) This one is weird.

A long gaze ━safe travel

a lifetime ago 7.17.25

Summer is marked by certain experiences, from swimming, to strolls along boardwalks, to...well...waiting in queues of all kinds as summer sees people fill outdoor spaces. Keith has a keen eye for observing these experiences and finding humour and stories in  all of it.

Welcoming our special guest voice - Sheila - the server at the window , whose calming, inquiring presence makes the  lineup tolerable ;)

Note: the term "poutine" on the side of the chip truck makes this a uniquely Canadian flavour  :)

Busy at the Chippy

    I was standing in the queue 
    And there was more than quite a few
    That to be … perfectly blunt
    Wanted to murder the guy…the guy at the front
    
   5  cod and chips…3 fries with garlic dips
    A lamb shish kabab…and a happy meal for that bugger at the back”
    It was busy at the Chippy…so busy at the Chippy
    It was busy at the Chippy…Ooh baby tonight

    Well I kept on standing there
    Feeling hungry right in there
    When I could be doing something…
    Something much better on a Saturday night. 
    Than waiting for…

    5 cod and chips…3 fries with garlic dips
    A lamb shish kabab…and a happy meal for that bugger at the back”
    Chippy woman: “We don’t do salad…Do’ya want salt ‘n vinegar on them love?
    How’s your Mary’s feet? … Oooooh, I know”

    (INST)

    (CHORUS)
    “…oh and I want 4 scampi and salad…5 haddock lightly battered
    3 sausages in a lovely curry…and a happy meal for that bugger in a hurry”
    Chippy woman: “That’ll be £226 and 10p for a carrier bag, love! ...
    Will ya need that in dollars pet?”

Lyrics:

You can feel the burn, I’m your desire 
Every step I take sets the floor on fire
 I can take the heat, yeah, I’m a pyre 
Swallow up my flames, your fate is dire

 Razor-sharp red, 
you can’t look away 
Once I pull you under, 
you won’t breathe again

blood from the cuts you made 
wear my name like a scar on your face 
you could’ve been my friend, too late 
wear my name like a scar on your face

Don’t pretend you’re safe (scarlet) 
 Don’t pretend you hate me (scarlet)
It fuels me to be unforgettable 
I’ll paint the town red and seal your fate

(scarlet)

Don’t pretend you’re safe (scarlet) 
 Don’t pretend you hate me (scarlet)

 Dangerous game, 
you can’t afford to play 
You’ll need some icing
for this heat wave

blood from the cuts you made 
wear my name like a scar on your face 
you could’ve been my friend, too late 
wear my name like a scar on your face

pump
 i'll make your heart pump
when your jealousy reigns
 i’m a volcano bitch,
lava in my veins

pump i'll make your heart pump
when your jealousy reigns 
Walking forest fire,
boiling in disdain

pump i'll make your heart pump
when your jealousy reigns 
Make you disappear
like David Blaine

pump
 i'll make your heart pump

(scarlet)

Gespräch zwischen Mozart und Salieri in einem Wiener Tavern

For reasons unknown but time will tell...
Multi-instrumentalist, all types of music, all types of methods.
Occasional collaborations with other artists.
Sometimes I post the sheet music if it's piano.
Lately, my favorite instrument is a TE OP-1 Field keyboard.
