Drama, lovely production and arrangement....

Magnifique développement musical d'une grande beauté émotionnelle 😍 🤩 🍀 🎶 

This is so great!!!! I just love it. Energy, brilliant orchestration, splendid harmonic colors... What a terrific work. Bravo Robert!

Once again I have enjoyed listening to your music! With diatonic patterns you get a very modern music, captivating and atractive with great narrative power. You get a lot out of de sextet ensemble, with a powerful dynamics you get, with the help of percussion, an almost symphonic level.

I like this combination of instruments. I think it's perfect for a movie. Great work, Robert!

Fantastic piece! One can feel the excitement, the intensity, the panic, the unrest... the movie-perfect criminal experience.

Fantastic work here. I love the playful woodwinds melodies. Bravo!!

Holy crap this was amazing! Is this the real deal? not VST? It sure as hell sounds like it to me. Absolutely stunning piece, real adventure like, would fit in a fantasy setting, a game like Fable for instance. 10/10

Wow! this is a very creative piece, the communication between the ensemble is quite refined, and the variety of rhythmic and melodic lines are awesome, the use of percussion instruments is brilliant. Congratulations!

An extra scene from West Side Story that Bernstein forgot to write...

PROGRAM NOTES
Although this sextet is not intended to openly convey a specific program, the work itself is inspired by television shows that expose people in the act of committing crimes. The form and materials are developed from imaginary scenes depicting a day in the life of a criminal: running scared (from the police), traveling on the interstate, having nightmares while sleeping (probably in a rundown motel in the middle of nowhere off Old Route 66), looming shadows and hysterical visions, breaking out in cold sweat when someone supposedly comes looking and traveling again at 1:00 a.m. As you would expect, the unfortunate criminal is finally caught in the end.
