I have no idea whatsoever what any of the quotes or words mean that you wrote, but I find the music quite entertaining. I infer a sense of mystery and humor in the piece. Well done!

Nice!  I like the inter-twining melodies.  Has a fresh feeling.

An interesting and attractive sound. The combination of strings and percussion is unusual and gives it a brightness.

Edmund Spencer's The Faerie Queene
Book 5 Canto 6 verse 5

As if before she had not counted trew.
  For houres but dayes; for weekes, that passed were,
  She told but moneths, to make them seeme more few:
  Yet when she reckned them, still drawing neare,
Each hour did seeme a moneth, & euery moneth a yeare

and some 3/4 or 3/8 and 4/4

[In/out] of Time        Music for String Quartet and percussion

I was born in Leicester in the late 1950's. Since semi-retirement and subsequent retirement (as a Dermatologist and formerly G.P) I have spent some of my spare time trying to learn music theory. I also enjoy long distance running as well as cycling, skiing and tennis. I enjoy cooking, gardening and growing a few vegetables. And fine wine (in moderation). I enjoy insect photography, with a particular interest in hoverflies..
To my regret I never learnt a musical instrument when younger but I have listened to and been fascinated by music for as long as I can remember. The advent of the computer age has allowed me to pursue my desire to compose music. I use Logic Pro X software (and MuseScore3 for recent piano compositions). My compositions reflect my varied listening preferences (including Contemporary Classical, Jazz and  Music from other cultures around the world).
