My musical aesthetic is unified despite its division into three distinct fields: composition, improvisation, and songwriting. Whether composing for various ensembles, improvising on trumpet or double bass, or singing/rapping: my goals are the same. I aim to tell a story (often literally accompanying the music with a program), to explore the nebulous boundaries between emotional harmonies, or entertain with comedic juxtapositions/nonsense music.

I think it's effective, but I think you are looking for a theme 2 ... or else looking for an ending, could just be a final cadence or a series of chords in a sequence.
