Hi I'd like to bring here something different. Lately, I've been working on a "Mediterranean Suite". I used a lot of different scales with something in common: they come from the Mediterranean countries. From Spain to "Persia" and from Africa to Europe, the Balkans, etc... Every one of them is unique, but I guess they all came from the same ancient scale. The suite is finished, because it's made from material I've been writing for two years or so. I made the selection and reworked some points. But it takes 10 pieces, too long to put them together here. We have here a very special mode: the phrygian-phrygian dominant scale... The one used in Flamenco. Levante is the coast my city is in... This piece imitates the sound of the guitar. Flamenco music don't use the piano, only guitar and other instruments (caja, castañuelas). But, of course, younger musicians have introduced many other instruments.

Lovely sound of the accordion in the first one. It absolutelly brings back the French movies. I don't know there, but as I am near France, we see many French movies, and the atmosphere is here. the only thing I'm not sure is the percussion (sometimes only). From 1:40 the "thicker" chords are beautiful. I also think the structure of the little piece is fine. The second soound more "modern". Bu it keeps the same flavor. the sound is again great, sometimes the chords of the acorddion "vibrate" as in the real instrument (with the proper players). Good the introduction of the piano... The third has a catchy melody, nice percussion and bass. Apart from that, the experience is reamrkable. I think the fact of going deep in a particular background (as this one) and express it in music is wonderful. In all the suite is very coherent in style, at the same time each piece is differente. Congrats! I like it a lot, and listening to it made me "dream" a little.
