about

This song is dedicated to my friend Daniela’s little girl, Alexandra (Ali for short.) A toddler with incredible energy! One evening after having visited Daniela and her family I sat down and played this syncopated pentatonic melody. It just kept going and going, so I decided to let it develop. I constructed the song around this melodic line. What was challenging about the song was playing the Bulgarian folk music style ornaments on the guitar. These are the quick trills that you hear between notes in certain sections! It was great fun and a real challenge, but I wanted a bit of that feeling in the song. Given the nature of Bulgarian folk music (odd time signatures) this song is surprisingly not in odd time. This piece produced many additional ideas. Perhaps some that I will put on my second album . . . but it will bear a much darker and more menacing tone!
