I'm very glad to announce my latest production, "Evanescenze". The album gathers several tracks that I have published in the last three months. It also includes a few unpublished works and several new arrangements and orchestrations. I really hope you will enjoy it ^_^

Have a great #bandcampFriday!
Eidon

"Evanescenze" can be downloaded, for free or for whatever you want, from eidon.bandcamp.com/album/evane

"Evanescenze" -- a new collection of ephemeral spirits of the air, evanescences that last the space and time of a dream. That's what music is maybe; and yet it is so vital, so much integral to our selves. It resonates with us -- perhaps because we are both "such stuff as dreams are made of"... -- mono no aware (物のあわれ)!

Work-work-work for me these days. Plus 3h total commuting time. Seems like I'm back to the fractal mold. My only escape is music. Music leads me to somewhere else, where I can truly be. Is it the same for you?

This piece comes from that somewhere else. I brought it with me out of my night wakes and my night dreams. I called it "kez​ɘ​ʞ," which means "hands" in Hungarian. It's a Presto Agitato for jazz piano trio. Would you mind telling me what you think of it? If so, I thank you.

Cheers,
Eidon.

Shard IV: A piece for piano and tenor sax (with a second tenor sax that occasionally adds a note here and there).

When I saw the great photo by Esa Riutta (pixabay.com/photos/ice-shard-m), what my mind actually saw was the shape of a geisha. Its melting away added an idea of nostalgia and the longing for things long gone.

I decided to highlight my vision by mirroring the ice shard with the picture of an actual geisha. The picture I chose was from "Two Geisha" by Chōbunsai Eishi (ca. 1792, one sheet of a triptych of woodblock prints; ink and color on paper; Metropolitan Museum of Art; public domain; archive.org/details/mma_two_ge, metmuseum.org/art/collection/s).

This is a videoclip of my latest work, "Bodegón" (Spanish for still-life)

The video is a "visit" into a Bodegón in Colonia del Sacramento, Departamento de Colonia, Uruguay, with thanks to the author of the nice photo, Elisa Giaccaglia (pexels.com/photo/bodegon-18297)

"Bodegón" is a piece for two pianos, marimba, double bass, and drums. I initially wrote the drums part, which alternates 11/8 and 9/8 measures at 150bpm. Then I wrote a marimba part atop the drums. This resulted in a rather fast jazzy piece. At this point I realized that the piece had two "natures": when slowed down, the marimba notes sounded very much "Bachianas". I decided to explore and develop this aspect further: I assigned the marimba line to piano, added a new piano, and turned the piece into a neoclassical prelude. Then I added double bass, and used it as a layer that I overlapped to realize a fugato of sorts. Surprisingly, the experiment worked out.
I had now two very different developments of a same idea. I decided to merge them in a A-B-A' structure, with the last part only hinted and fading out, played by double bass and drums.
All the above resulted in my "Bodegón". I hope you'll like it!

(P.S. In Spanish it means "still-life". It comes from "Bodega": storeroom, storehouse, wine-shop, or even tavern.)
