Dionysus (in Greek: Διόνυσος or also Διώνυσος) is a deity of Greek religion. God of wine, ecstasy, and the liberation of the senses, he represents the essence of creation in its perennial and wild flow, the divine spirit of an immeasurable reality, the primal element of the cosmos, the spiritual eruption of the Greek zoé, that is, existence understood in an absolute sense, the frenetic flow of life that pervades everything.[1]

And it seemed to you that in Greece they wouldn't ask me for a piece dedicated to the God Dionysus.

I have performed, with some effort, this extemporaneous composition which I hope expresses the sense of this deity.

I don't know if it honored the deity or not but, as a mere mortal, I find it beautiful.

Compliments to you too.

Thanks for the last 2 new tracks (yours and Geppino's), my weekend will be better

Thank you all for the feedback, it is always useful and rewarding to receive feedback, especially when it comes from musicians, and in particular from dedicated musicians.

Forgive my ignorance, Talentuoso, but what is your WE? I am not very well-versed in the intricacies of computing!

In fact, the official dinner offered by the organizers contained a wine called Retsina, a wine I didn't know and which I liked very much; I believe it is flavored with lavender, anyway it is unique, a Dionysian rush. As for something unique, there was the liqueur, perhaps a cognac, called Metaxa, which I have never drunk in Italy; it also seems to be flavored with lavender, anyway I liked it so much that I bought ten bottles and I would really love to let you taste it. In any case, before the concert, every single time before, I usually drink a beer; it frees my imagination and disinhibits me.

In fact, my extemporaneous composition titled "Song for Dionysus" is not bad, believe me, it is a surprise even to me to judge it after the recording. I consider the piece to be a bit "exotic" in the literal sense of the term and especially that it can be accepted if conceived as the response to a specific request dedicated to such an unstable God; then.... you know.. ambient, the land of Ulysses, ...Ithaca... have strongly conditioned the way of playing.

If you are interested, I can give you the technical details of the piece from the point of view of its harmonic construction.

Let me know. Bye.
