"Tell me why I dont like Mondays" supernicely woven in! 😍

From reading your replies to comments, your technical knowledge and capability far outstrip my own but that doesn't stop me from loving what you do, a case in point here...

Enjoyed this one very much, exceptional performance.

Really glad to find your music...each piece is exquisite

Full of variations and twists that go through passion, tragedy or simple everyday stimuli.

This is the 5th track in the "Seven Dreams of the Orb Weaver" medley.  (If you like this one, you might like listening to the whole medley in sequence--you can find it in the album section https://soundcloud.com/skai-eriksson/sets/seven-dreams-of-the-orb-weaver.)  The previous track "Waltz of the Pelicans" ends with a counterpoint sequence intended to set the mood for this track.  In turn, the current track ends on an unresolved chord, where the cadence is completed on the opening chord of the subsequent track "Shadows of a Spider Spinning Silk".

Wonders of the Underworld

Written in 2019 after the bittersweet experience of dropping my daughter Ivy off at her first day of daycare.  This is a short version.  I have some rough recordings of a 10-minute version that I might break into separate songs and further develop to post in the future when I have time to tackle a bigger project.

For the music theorists: The opening theme is in A-minor, there is a somewhat jazzy middle part starting around 0:38 that is in G-mixolydian (I guess), and the last part starting around 1:00 exchanges between A-minor and C-lydian (with a lot of pedaling off the root to assert the Lydian mode).  The final chord is half-resolved (as it ends on a C power chord after a Lydian arpeggio that, due to its tritone, wants to resolve to a G triad).  

In hindsight, I think it would make more sense to transpose the song a half step down as it would have eased the jumps in the left hand to involve the black keys.  The initial version of the song had a very simple left hand, and so was fine in A-minor.  By the time I started making the left hand more elaborate, I had kind of settled on playing the song in A-minor.

The artwork is one of Ivy's watercolor paintings from the same time period when I composed the song.

Sheet music for the song is available on request.

No More (Collab w Syntaleta-remastered)

Once again time for a gem by J.S.Bach.
It comes from the cantata: "Gottes Zeit ist die beste Zeit" BWV 106
Acoustics: Concertgebouw Amsterdam
Many composers are and were fascinated by many of Bach's compositions.
According to Glenn Gould, some compositions transcend Bach as independent greats.
Universal and not of this earth with Bach as an intermediary.
For that reason, Glenn Gould thought that everyone should also be allowed to do what is musically responsible.

The theme from this cantata (actually for chorus..) is a transcription by the well-known contemporary modern composer Kurtag.
He wrote it for four hands.
The work has been reduced to its essence, as its purest form.
The power lies in the art of telling with the right articulation.
When playing I think horizontally, moving forward in a constant flow…..A big arc…How beautiful can it be to start the new year so hopeful!

We will float through the clouds
I look beyond me
And i see you there
The thought is real
So Complete
There is silence
A breath from the Wind
From a distance
I can see

-professor of mathematics by day and amateur composer by night.

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.
