An Eternity by Dicedead
Hey there, thank you for being here.
Long story short: yesterday night, I went to watch a supposedly 'West-African music' concert. Apart from the introduction, epilogue and one track written in quintuplets, everything else was just basic jazz solo-trading between violin and piano with ethnic drums instead of a drumset, nothing even close to what was promised: polyrhythmic soundscapes, authentic melodies, etc. I refuse to be given the 'you don't understand' speech as I've studied West-African rhythms for long enough to distinguish BS from true Mandinka musicianship.
Needless to say I was pissed, not for the ticket's price but for the whole 2 hours it lasted. Felt like an eternity even though I slept through half of it. Back home, I've just plugged the keyboard and recorded something.
Announcement bit, that's also related to this track: I feel like I've done a lot of progress over the course of the past 6 months at playing keyboard, so expect more of this in my regular tracks, and most importantly, except some 1 minute snippets on my Instagram page.
Enjoy!

Hello there!
I'm a computer science student, been playing drums since the age of 8 and although my current studies don't allow for much time to be put into music, I'm still very much looking forward to get back more seriously into it someday. Leaving this page of some of my compositions open for memory's sake.
