Very fun and refreshing listen after
your latest pieces.
Thanks, SM, I'm feeling better these days. :)
I really like how you share dark intense (sometimes
cryptic) pieces one
week and light collages or hilarious bluesey tunes the next.
Have you heard of Stefan Wolpe ? He's something of a hero to me.

Abstract 12-tone scores co-exist with diatonic songs written for
Socialist workers causes. His example encourages me to write whatever I
feel like writing (assuming I have the capability to do so). Wolpe's
Form For Piano is a particular favorite.
Keep it up.
Will do. Thanks again for listening, S.M., you're a brave one.
Best,
