Music
The above tracks are generally for high quality headphones and not for loudspeakers
Mystical Suite contains nine ballet scenes depicting various mystical phenomena. See the links below for details.
Musical joke Christmas Toys Fighting and Climbing up the Christmas Tree is a small and scary 5.5 min. ballet-phantasmagoria, where sparkling Christmas Toys dance, compete and fight for being perched on the most beautiful places of the Christmas Tree. It includes comical mobilization scenes, tread and horror of broken toys, beautiful kitsch-dance of the toys on the Tree branches, and winning apotheosis of the perched figures.
Only after completing this track I realized that this is about musicians fighting and climbing up the media attention, about university scientists fighting for the recognition of their results, about businessmen fighting and climbing up the financial pyramid, about ...

- About Me (MUST be more than 10 words to be approved):
- My occupation "for living" is mathematics and computer science. As a musician, I am more a pianist-improviser, depicting current mood and impressions, than a composer writing music in a cold mind status with strict calculations of the music form, texture and harmony. I find many musical inspirations in a scientific research, and sometimes vice versa. Presenting my compositions here, I am looking for a feedback and for ideas how to improve the quality of the music, better organize the improvisation sessions, develop and apply specific tracks etc.
In 2010-2011 I received several awards in the prestigious "Song of the Year" songwriting competition:

Andrew Gleibman replied to michael diemer's discussion Adding Dynamics"Agree Greg, but the question (see the discussion title) is how to add dynamics and bring life into the audio, not how to keep resemblance to peculiarities of specific traditional instruments. Of course you cannot use a MIDI keyboard…"
Andrew Gleibman replied to michael diemer's discussion Adding Dynamics"You will never reach dynamics of a live performance however CC or modulations you insert into the written score. Sorry for the harsh comparison, but this is like adding color to a dead body. I recommend trying to perform live some parts of your…"
Andrew Gleibman replied to B Gray's discussion Who said this? "Art demands of us that we shall not stand still""I think yes, in 2 directions: development and degradation. The second one prevails, like on most other human activities."
Andrew Gleibman replied to Alex Dunn's discussion Music in One Mood - Moody or Deluded?"I belong to the "others" camp and think that music should have contrasts, especially in time, which is supported by a music form. Your example is interesting as for exciting ambient sounds, but I succeed to listen with interest to only 1…"

"Alex, re; the last line of your blog- I agree whole heartedly. We are all products of our environments

Alex Dunn replied to Andrew Gleibman's discussion Individual composer's style: Is it inherited, pushed into, or deliberately developed?"Well we could talk about that. What you say is true - the composers intentions for a piece will never be known to anyone other than the composer and others do make themselves look foolish by asserting they know the meaning of a piece in front of the…"

Mathematics!? Computer Programming!? Piano Improvisation!? You've just made a friend! I look forward to opening a dialog with you.
Thanks. You're doing quite a serious work yourself!
Thanks Andrew ! You give me a lot of encouragement and I´m glad that you like the piece . I always find it difficult to analyze what happens in me when I´m writing . In this piece I was subconsciusly influenced by Xenakis : Persepolis and a poem by Joseph Brodsky : December in Forence : http://www.poetrymagazines.org.uk/magazine/record.asp?id=2403 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MJUR2qkJup0 I wish You all the best my friend .
