She sought love from the same woman over and over again and was rejected each time. Her answer is always the same whether she proposes the first time, the second time, or the third time. No!
"Then why did we always enjoy chatting so well?" And why does the feeling of my long-gone love never fade away?

No matter how many times I propose, her answer is no! (263)

Thank You so much for over 1400 plays! ❤️

This time, I return to the realm of fantasy, where my characters, upon arriving in the North, found themselves in the dwarven mines. There, they are to meet with the Dwarf King's son, who will task them with aiding in uncovering the mystery surrounding his father's death, slain in a goblin ambush. However, before this occurs, they take part in a funeral ceremony.

To craft this piece, I utilized only the free VSTi's by ProjectSAM @projectsam: Free Orchestra 1 and 2. I've begun working on it 2 months ago... It's one of my over 30 projects in development ;)

Thanks goes to my friends and test drivers: kavvka @grzegorzkawka and Alexander Stratonov @ephtrackx

When I am laid, am laid in earth, May my wrongs create
No trouble, no trouble in thy breast;
Remember me, remember me, but ah! forget my fate.

Theme from Schindler’s List (One Take Reflection)

Music is memory, and memory is life.
In this one-take reflection on the Theme from Schindler’s List, I allowed the music to unfold like a fragile thread between worlds — echoing with oriental whispers and Eastern European roots.
It is a conversation between sorrow and hope, a reminder that even in the quietest moments, the soul still speaks.
No retakes. Just feeling, breath, and the timeless language of the heart.

Thank you for listening and traveling through it with me.

The last movement of the String Quartet No. 22 "No Rest For The Righteous" (2025), with fugue and chaconne (both present in many of former 21 string quartets) and other elements, phase shifting metre abusing motifs, simultaneity of layers, invertible counterpoints, contrasts and surprises, modal or chromatic language, "romantic" expression tensions in building of culminations, and formal "strategy" of recurring episodes.
