Orchestral composition inspired by Lorenzo Lanfranconi’s artwork The Dudj Brothers.

I began writing this piece during Ryan Leach’s October 2023 composing competition, but I did not finish it in time. After setting it aside for a while, I returned with fresh ears and completed the arrangement and mix, resulting in this final version.

The music has a playful, mischievous character with minimalistic chamber-style instrumentation. Quirky motifs lead to a fast-paced chase in the final section, creating a lively and adventurous musical story.
