This is a short ballet music inspired by the character of Robin "Puck" Goodfellow, from Shakespeare's "A Midsummer's Night Dream", in the lovely adaptation created by mangaka Miuchi Suzue for her delightful masterwork "Glass Mask" (ガラスの仮面). Here I imagined that Puck, while wandering in the forest to retrieve the magical flower of love for Oberon, gets caught up in the charming beauty of nature, and begins to dance... I hope you enjoy my little daydreams! ^_^
The piece is divided into two parts. The first one is assigned to Arabic instruments, which are then joined by piano in the second part.
Now a little more information about this piece:
I refer to this piece as a hybrid Grundgestalt, in that the initial musical fragments were generated by simulating beggar-my-neighbor games (that's the recipe for "my little Grundgestalts", noblogo.org/eidon/why-i-call-my-music-grundgestalt). Said fragments were then used by me as accompaniment on top of which I composed melodic and rhythmic "foreground material."
The input packs for the beggar-my-neighbor games were transcoded from the following eight lines from the Comedy:
Oberon: My gentle Puck, come hither. Thou rememb’rest Since once I sat upon a promontory, And heard a mermaid on a dolphin’s back Uttering such dulcet and harmonious breath That the rude sea grew civil at her song, And certain stars shot madly from their spheres To hear the sea-maid’s music? Puck: I remember.

The picture is from the scanlated version of Chapter 22 of "Glass Mask", with a simple elaboration with Gimp + G'Mic.
I'm very proud of my latest work: "For Reggie". A piece for piano, bass, and Turkish percussion that I dedicate to a wonderful musician. I hope you'll like it!

When I was in Italy, I had a very nice musical experience There was a band that was playing music such as "Supper's Ready", by Genesis, and "Domino", by the other Genesis.
That was the band of my friend Mario, who played bass guitar with them and initiated me to playing that noble instrument.
Well, they invited me to sing! And to play bass, occasionally.
It would be really wonderful if I could play some of my music in front of an audience. Pieces like "Fractal Mold", for instance. I wonder if it will ever happen.
