Hello @Fruit hunter,

Welcome to the forum!

The opening sounds very Stravinskian for me. A great whirling of texture and harmony. The microtones brings in a weirdly hypnotic effect too, and I like the use of the Crotales.

What does Alla Ninna Nanna in p.12? The second section sounds fairy music to me and I like it. The Lydian/ whole tome Twinkle Twinkle Little Star sounds funny, but then the stravinskian Hypnos comes in and the crisis is partly solved.

The Andante Serioso section sounds like Gamelan for it me at first. I like how you end with the opening figure.

For me the music is more like a series of dream quite unrelated to each other, just like our dreams which develop unexpectedly. What is the composing background of the piece?

Thx for joining us. You can also leave reviews on other members’ works!

@Henry Ng Tsz Kiu Alla Ninna Nanna is translated into as a lullaby having the second movement, acting like a lullaby, which eventually gets out of hand   The background for this piece was actually inspiration from another piece of music where I looked at the performance notes and I saw the word psychedelic colors.  Based off of that, I composed this piece with that word in mind.
