about

Elements of several musical genres share a place here: modal jazz, tango, rock, Cuban rumba. So one could say it’s a fusion piece. However, when the complexity of a tune becomes too obvious, fusionistic attempts are vane. The goal of fusion music, as with any style of music, should be to produce pieces that do not reveal easily, at first glimpse, their components, but show us an almost indivisible integrity; in other words, the role of each element in them should be really indispensable to the whole. That’s a pretty classic concept in art and it is what gives a tune a personality on its own. I doubt this tune can easily be decomposed. Modern times are already nothing but unarticulated complexity. They don't make up for anything unique and apart, as a stained glass medieval window.
