this is a beautiful composition Skai....Well Done

Très belle pérégrination musicale ! Bravo à vous deux !

A wonderfully peaceful moment in harmony between the two instruments. Well done.

How very cool that you were able to collect and assemble the moments of inspiration into a seamless whole.  The flute provides the airy thread sewing the pieces together into a lovely composition.

How beautiful collaboration of flute and piano, amazing work!

Teth Sin finally seems to be back with a cool wicked track called Gazelle, featuring his friend Luna on vocals/recitation. She decorated with her vivid poetry one of those creepy, dark soundscapes I've been working on these last few months. I sincerely thank her for this amazing contribution, and for her active involvement in the whole creative process of this title. Thanks for taking the time to listen to it.

Uncrowned queens, warrior princes,
the tiger flies in the air.
The flag howls in the cold of the sad west, and blond curls win.
The panther's lost the game, watching the sun.
The Gazelle weeps on her broken leg.
And she's alive

Gazelle | feat. Luna

This is a collaboration with Taylor Brysiewicz.  Upon discovering an adequately functioning upright piano in the basement of the conference room at the Banff Centre (where we were both visiting for a conference on Random Algebraic Geometry), we decided to play some improvisational piano duets which led to this collaborative composition.  Taylor had the foresight to take a quick audio memo on his phone where we recorded a few excerpts alongside some commentary about the chord progression.  After returning home from the conference, Taylor turned our fragments into a completed piano part.  I then added a flute part while trying to maintain the impromptu spirit of the original, namely, by locking in some of the improvised phrases from my early takes (as opposed to indulging in my normal habit of making dozens of rounds of revisions).

Song art created in Mathematica (it is the level set of an algebraic function with randomly sampled coefficients, hence fitting into the theme of the conference that gave occasion to the collaboration).

Sunshine - (Adagio in D minor- Composed by John Murphy)

It will probably be the only piece I ever compose in my life because I’m not a musician and I believe I lack many of the qualities and virtues to be one. So, don’t expect much from me. Still, thank you for your support and for sharing.

🎧 🎹 This is a short piece for piano that started as an experiment and gradually took shape. In memory of the woman whose love and sacrifice made me the man I am—my mother 🌸

🎶 I will forever cherish the memory of her immense happiness in learning a short passage from Beethoven's *Ode to Joy* on the piano. Every night, before going to sleep, she would play those simple yet heartfelt notes. *Alma Edilma* is also a heartfelt tribute to a woman whose essence touched so many hearts 💗❤️💗

Probablemente será la única pieza que componga en mi vida, porque no soy músico y creo que me faltan muchas de las cualidades y virtudes para serlo. Así que no esperen mucho de mí. Aun así, gracias por su apoyo y por compartir.

🎹 Esta es una pequeña pieza para piano que empezó como un experimento y poco a poco fue tomando forma. En memoria de la mujer cuyo amor y sacrificio me convirtieron en el hombre que soy: mi madre 🌸

🎶 Siempre atesoraré el recuerdo de su inmensa felicidad al aprender un breve pasaje del Himno a la Alegría de Beethoven al piano. Cada noche, antes de dormir, tocaba esas notas sencillas pero emotivas. *Alma Edilma* es también un sentido homenaje a una mujer cuya esencia conmovió tantos corazones. 💗❤️💗

Alma Edilma

Lyrics - Andrey Voznesensky
Music - Nadir Shamuhamedov
(When I sang it for the first time, I was 23 years old and madly in love...)

English Translation:

Play, grasshopper, play,
Oh, my acoustic grasshopper!
And in these delicious musics
Save all meadows of August...

Play the azure of forest
And  the organs of Lielupe pines,
Sing me a song about the happiness
Of an flighty woman,
Because she is all, I live by...

Play, green music fan!
Our romance is orchestrated with sadness...
Love is not a musical toy,
But it’s also scary to break it.

Play, grasshopper, play, don't stop,
After all, your life is even shorter,
Than the lives of other musicians,
Even though they are not eternal too...

I grew up in the Florida Keys where both of my parents worked as musicians in the entertainment business.  My grandmother taught me to play the piano at an early age.  I ended up pursuing a career in mathematical research and teaching, but in my free time I enjoy composing music mainly for piano.
