Toy Polka
This is originally a piece from A.Lowery’s printed collection “The Elements of Ballet” for the ballet schools’ accompanists. This electronic version has more comic and cartoonish character; it is funny, jumpy, and extremely happy. – Muted trumpet, xylophone, marimba, honky-tonk duo, button accordion, percussion // Length 1:20, 121 bpm, 2/4
Nasreddin Is Coming to Town
“…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

Running Around
This is a very happy and playful electronic art piece; its first rough name was “Everybody Is in a Hurry to Somewhere”. You can hear a fast-ticking clock at the beginning, and then everything just starts running… The piece can work as an intro to a comedy, or a musical illustration to a sport game, or just to be a companion to any fast movement on the screen. – Synthesizers, percussion, drums, choir (background) // Length 1:42 160 bpm, 4/4
Bumblebee… or a Mosquito?
This a parody on a very famous classical piece ‘Flight of the Bumblebee” by N.Rimsky-Korsakov. Paradoxically, it was also inspired by the imagery and feel of a brilliant Russian animation (“claymation”) “Yesteryear’s Snow Was Falling”, which has became classic in Russia since its creation in 1983.
Knowing about the Bumblebee origins, you can easily guess what’s going on in the piece. (If you are familiar with the plot of the original tale, you’ll find the end a bit different, though. 
) If you listen to it in headphones, the effect will be at its best. – Synthesizers, accordion, honky-tonk, insect killer racket, airplane, crowd… // Length 1:29, 140 bpm, 4/4

Silent Movie
The first idea of a name for this piece was “Everybody is in a Hurry to Somewhere”. The piece gives an impression of the character of a very old movie or a documentary, where everything moves a bit faster, and the sound of the piano behind the screen is almost honky-tonk-like. – Length 1:18, 148 bpm, 2/4
Pantomime
This is an upbeat piece with a hint of grotesque. The intricate, broken rhythm of ostinato strings in the middle layer adds an undercurrent feel of hesitancy, which at the end results in a sudden pushing in of a very resolute piano. 🙂 – Solo xylophone, piano, strings, drums, percussion instruments and electric bass // Length 2:04, 158 bpm, 4/4
Once Upon a Time
Music like this could be a good intro for a fairy-tale movie or a fantasy type video game. May be easily expanded upon request. – Symphony orchestra , calimbell solo // Length 1:07, 78 bpm, 4/4
Little Horseman
This is an upbeat bluegrass instrumental.
Banjo, fiddle, guitar, mandolin, bass. // Length 1:35, 130 bpm, 4/4.
Hush, Little Baby
This is a piano rendition of the famous lullaby. – Length 02:02, 80 bpm (molto rubato), 4/4
