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

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

Sparkles of Sunlight on Snow Crust

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

Neo impressionism? – Maybe. This is a cue with a feel of rather rapid moving through a winter landscape – maybe, it’s about skying from a hill in a snowy forest, or just driving through a backroad. You can feel the snowdrift, the texture of the sparkly crust. The absence of the metric signature adds a sense of openness. 

Synthesizers  //  Length 1:58,  122 bpm,  No signature
