Theme from Balthazar’s Dream for String Quartet (LIVE from the Victoria and Albert Museum in London)

I have always enjoyed a genre of Japanese anime known as "Slice Of Life" (hence the title). 

I have always interpreted the intent of such anime to be the presentation of the best parts of an idyllic, simple existence, with only as much artifice as is necessary to bring out the best qualities of that which already exists in nature.

I like to think this is an accurate interpretation as it would line up with the philosophies behind most types of traditional Japanese arts and craftsmanship.

Through a contemporary smooth jazz/instrumental pop lens, I hope to similarly explore simple ideas and emotions that reside in our basic natures, such as joy and hope.

"Slice of Life" is the first of what I hope will be a long stream of works in this vein.
