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

Allegretto (Singing Frogs – two- piano version)
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
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
Retro Piano
The piece imitates the light music style of the oldies, maybe, the 30ths – with a hint of virtuosity and a few nice harmonic transitions.
Length 1:44, 150 bpm, 4/4
Serenity
Calm and happy mood of this piece along with its lively character and seemingly “unsquare” time signature makes it usable for many video ideas. – Cedar flute, guitar, rainstick // Length 1:25, 149 bpm, 4/4+2/4 (alternatively: 3/2 and 76 bpm)
Happy Little Donkey
Blue tag = for a demonstration only; not for sale. A very playful children’s piece with animation-like imagery, suitable for animation or comedy. – Strings, banjo, xylophone, marimba, drums, percussion // Length 1:45, 160bpm, 4/4
