King of Wands (2007)

The King of Wands, in the Tarot tradition, is a figure of energy, positive thinking and optimism, sensuality and intuition. This is a groove piece with middle eastern colors. It was specially written for this event. My compositional technique generally is to let the piece arise almost by itself while I get out of the way. There is very little or no editing and lots of room for different choices and improvisation.

"If the King loves music there is little wrong in the land."
