Original Music
Blue tag = for a demonstration only; not for sale. One more symphonic piece; this is the 2nd movement from the Suite for Oboe and Orchestra. The mysterious feel and relaxed flow of this music, the rhythmic elements of the bolero, the sound of castanets, and mid-eastern intonations remind of hot summer nights somewhere near Spain. – Symphony orchestra, oboe // Length 2:55, 82 bpm, 4/4

“…Sufi and wise man, remembered for his funny stories and anecdotes. He appears in thousands of stories, sometimes witty, sometimes wise, but often, too, a fool or the butt of a joke. (…) Nasreddin often appears as a whimsical character of a large Turkish, Persian, Albanian, Armenian, Azerbaijani, Bengali, Bosnian, Bulgarian, Chinese, Greek, Gujarati, Hindi, Judeo-Spanish, Kurdish, Romanian, Serbian, Russian, and Urdu folk tradition of vignettes, not entirely different from zen koans”. Nasreddin – Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nasreddin
Accordion, honky-tonk, drums, percussion // Length 2:53, 88 bpm, 4/4

This is a dreamy electronic piece, where fantasy meets Mediterranean flavor. Think of a mirage in a desert, a fairy-tale told by princess Sheherazade. Lulling, measured rhythm of the percussion instruments and the swaying character of the accompaniment give the feeling of a mild, soothing narrative. – Synthesizers // Length 4 min, 90 bpm, 4/4

The piece consists of 2 contrasting parts. The 1st part, the Intro (1st minute of music), is very picturesque, almost ambient, picturing something like early morning, the first rays of the Sun and colorful Indian landscapes. It doesn’t have fixed rhythmic structure; it just floats freely, harmoniously weaving together expressive timbres of national Indian instruments.
The 2nd part (from 1:01 to 2:15) is rather fast; it’s very rhythmical and happy, and has Indian pop music feel to it.
This piece could perfectly garnish any program about India, where there are views of the country, Indian landscape, movement. The parts can work as one piece, as well as separately. – Sitar, tanpura, sarangi, bansuri, finger cymbals, tablas, dhapali, drums, bass guitar, synthesizers // Length 2:16, 1st half – rubato, 2nd half – 134 bpm, 4/4
