This was meant to be a background music for an imaginary Love Movie. I also bought a nice acoustic guitar and wanted to record it. Electric guitar solo is done with a stainless steel slide ring that my father made for me more than 20 years ago.

Improbable Weightlessness Of Endurance

Paula Metz Dreams on the Train to Lodz (Paula Metz Traeume auf dem Weg nach Lodz)

It is December 1942. The train leaves a small station in Zenica (today Bosnia) to Poland. It would take it four days to get there. Paula sits between her parents and dreams: that they would be offered a beautiful brick townhouse once they arrive, completely furnished, together with stale bread and an unfinished meal left on the table, that her father would refuse to accept it, that she would forget her mother tongue and return home in six years, and that one day she would have a granddaughter. She was the same age as you are now. 

This one is for you, Tamara. 
Das ist fuer dich, Tamara. 
Ova je za tebe, Tamara.

Paula Metz Dreams On The Train To Lodz

It was meant to be background music for Julio Cortazar’s short story ‘Simulacra’.

Cute Little Homemade Gallows

This one started as a slow acoustic ballad and then it just somehow slipped through my fingers.

Frostbitten In A Snow Globe

Inspired by Balkan music and its irregular meters (this one is in 7/8) which make one's heart skip beats. 

Some sources also claim that they affects brain in the same way as some heavy recreational drugs such as shopping, pilgrimages, TV cooking shows and spectators' sport.

Folk Is Opium Of The Masses

It may be my interpretation of Hendrix, Psychedelic music and Radiohead.

Clusterfuck

This little monumental (tread carefully: oxymoron on the road!) tune is for the ballet ‘Guitar Hero Vs. Chamber Orchestra’. It is loosely based on the popular fairy tale of the same name.

Spoiler:

Guitar Hero walks sadly through the metaphorical / musical enchanted forest. The forest is actually a trap set up by the evil Chamber Orchestra.

Our Hero is armed with his bellowed white Ibanez RG but devoid of electricity - Chamber Orchestra sabotaged the grid. He is no match to the mingled harmonies.

Driven by desperation, he goes through a series of adventures (as much as you can fit in 3 minutes score).

At the end he breaks the spell and rejoices, in the final crescendo, with Chamber Orchestra (which became virtuous again). They dance it off facing the eternal sunset.
 
Alternatively, the tune could be used for the last James Bond movie ‘007 Vs. Buddenbrooks’ in which the agent gets killed when the novel’s heavy volume falls on his head. In the last scene (hear the crescendo again) he is lying on the floor, his eyes staring in the eternal sunrise. Life is slowly squeezed out of him with the last tear (insert image of a lemon pressed by a heavy book) sliding down his cheekbone, never reaching his half open mouth.

Fade out.

PS

Main musical theme rises through two octaves almost chromatically. Blame it on Wagner.

If you managed to read through this load of claptrap whistle it.

Guitar Hero Vs Chamber Orchestra

Chew it. Savour it (I said: savour it, damn it !). Spit it out.

Devil's Candy

Classical music, Orchestral. Sympholic Orchestra

Melancholic Has Left The Building

I recommend reading Robert Musil’s short story  ‘Inflation’ while listening to this piece of music.
