Visiting Laila

Solo piano. Jazz chords straight out of a classic movie scene set in a smoky cavernous jazz club. Slow chordal movement at first, sweet and lyrical, moves to a confused romantic motif with some dissonance, chords grow in volume and intensity, a declaration of love. Back to the introductory chords, more relaxed now with hints of unsettling dissonance. Romantic, confused and reckless, a love letter to early jazz, on Film/TV, would suit a La La Land style, modern interpretation of heady jazz-age love.

Daruckatekarte

Begins with quasi-gamelan, becoming a dreamlike, wobbly guitar piece with gentle funk rhythms.

Dance With a Ball of Emperor Rudolf II

Neo-classical patterns for acoustic instruments. Atonal and jazzy, feeling off kilter, drunk, confused but happy.

Seven Eight Stepper

Upbeat Rhodes piano and full band track in 7/8 time. Synth effects, drums and keys chordal intro. Mid section with jazz drums and dynamic Rhodes piano and an electric guitar build. Drum-led section. Keys rejoin and track builds to inspiring heights with dramatic stabs by all instruments punctuating the melody. Reflective guitar-led final section, again building to an emotional crescendo. Perfect for a TV/Film finale or as background music to exciting, unpredictable sports coverage.

Notes of Dust in the Sunshine

Laid back jazz track. Soft brass, snippets of piano and dynamic double bass keep it easy-going and improvisational. Cool and calm with late night vibes, repetitive and emphatic, perfect for a thoughtful, reflective TV/Film moment, or for a curious documentary observing the subtle idiosyncrasies of a people.
