A Million Dollars
Blue tag = for a demonstration only; not for sale. – This is a rendition of the famous song by Rafaella Carrà. First the existing original arrangement was imitated, and then the result was developed into something else. The vocal line in the sample is substituted with the celesta for a reference. Big band, piano, celesta // Length 2:54, 173 bpm, 4/4
Turbulent Waters
The name of this piano piece says it all. Disarray of feelings, fast flow, yearning of the soul… Minimalistic approach merged with romantic emotion. – Length 1:44, 148 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
Siciliana
Blue tag = for a demonstration only; not for sale. This is the final movement of the suite for oboe and orchestra. This piece was conceived as a scene from a festival, masquerade. The crowd feels exited, dancing and intermingling. Suddenly, Pierrot occurred, but even his plaintive theme ends in lightful major with a hope for love, and the mass happily rushes to party again.
Acoustic oboe (Eugene Sidorov), symphony orchestra // Length 4:22, 94 bpm, 6/8
Reminiscences of the Ballet
Blue tag = for a demonstration only; not for sale. This piece was conceived as a movement of a suite for oboe and orchestra (III, Scherzo). Its dancy character and theatrical imagery gives a positive association with a scene from a ballet. Lush orchestration helps create a powerful and festive climax.
The excerpt between 1:01 and 1:14 strongly associates with a festive event like a victory or a massive celebration, and could, probably, be used separately.
Acoustic oboe (Eugene Sidorov), symphony orchestra, carillon // Length 02:02, 184 bpm, 4/4

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
Little Horseman
This is an upbeat bluegrass instrumental.
Banjo, fiddle, guitar, mandolin, bass. // Length 1:35, 130 bpm, 4/4.
