Cat the Story Teller (Kiriusha’s Lullaby)

Art Music / , , , , , , ,

  This piece can be associated with the imagery from Alexander Pushkin’s intro to his fairy poem Ruslan and Ludmila, where the magical Cat the Story Teller walks on the golden chain on an oak tree. The main theme (the pan flute’s ostinato) was once improvised by Alla’s younger son Kirill when he was 5 or 6 years old. Years later Alla turned it into a piece. – Pan flute, strings, muted trumpet, harp, kalimbell, percussion, drums, electronic sweep  //  Length 3:44, 69 bpm, 4/4

Allegretto (Singing Frogs – two- piano version)

Art Music / , , , , , ,

This is originally a piece from A.Lowery’s printed collection “The Elements of Ballet” for the ballet schools’ accompanists. There are 2 variants of the piece:  1) the humorous electronic version (Singing Frogs), 2) and this one – for two pianos. The piano version has a faster tempo, but somehow in an unhurried, measured pace, and it has a different flavor to it. It is also playful and happy, but not as comical and grotesque, as its electronic counterpart. 

 Piano duo   //   Length  1:07,   178 bpm,   4/4

Running Around

Cinematic, Electronic Art Music / , , , , , , , , , , , ,

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

Singing Frogs

Electronic Art Music / , , , , , , , , , , ,

This is a humorous little piece, originally from my printed collection “The Elements of Ballet” for the ballet schools’ accompanists. This version was arranged on Roland Fantom for adding a distinct cartoonish character to it. It’s suitable for animation, comedy or a commercial. The imagery could easily relate to young children, animals, or just something funny.   –  Synthesizers  //  Length  1:19, 148 bpm, 4/4

Pantomime

Art Music, Cinematic / , , , , , , , ,

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
