Original Music
This is an ambient piece, picturing something mesmerizing, unusual… There is a feel of a miracle there. You can picture slow steps, hear drops of water, echoing strange sounds in a cavern. – Synthesizers, processed piano // Length 3:02, No signature, Slow motion
Here is a jazzy version of the iconic song. The intro has an improvisational feel to it, and then the tempo gets rather fast. – Piano solo // Length 2:14, tempo rubato, 3/4
Here is a little bit of old times, fast and happy. 🙂 – Honky-tonk solo // Length 2 min, 100 bpm, 2/4
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
“…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
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

This is a piece composed in imitation of the style of old music from the British Islands. It consists of 2 parts: 1) a moderately-moving 1st, reminding of an old ballade 2) and a faster, more “dancy” second part at 2:10. (The tempo signatures may seen confusing, but while listening you will discover that the description of the feel is correct). The parts can exist as separate cues. Harp, oboe, English horn, flute piccolo, tambourine
Length 3:08, 1 part -63 bpm, 6/8; 2 part – 114 bpm, 2/4
