 Minimalist piano with slashes of ambient electronics.

Live performance by Kourosh Dini:

1. "Moonlit Rocks" - A very relaxing piano/synth combo starts the performance. It's the only real ambient piece of the entire work.

2. "Moon Patrol" - Fun synthesizer playing with echoes, arpeggios, and interweaving melodies.

3. "Startled by Dawn" - Usually a quietly played piece, this version finds much more energy and power before drifting off after a collision into the moments where the notes begin to fray. Written in A Aeolian mode.

4. "Alight - Burden" - First part is a strong, brazen piano and clear structures. The second part transitions to synthesizer. Grungy with echoes, some ethereal, some crushing. F Aeolian mode.

5. "Unwritten - Unsung" - A piece that has been evolving for at least 20 years now. C Aeolian mode. Unwritten is the first of pieces in which I transitioned from writing by way of notation into writing through an iteration of improvisation. Neither is right or wrong, though I do seem to have a readier access to the sense of play in the live medium.

6. "Dandelion (Synth)" - More recent work written in Bb ionioan mode. Generally, I play this as a pleasant piano piece. Here, I decided to go with the synth, having built its momentum throughout the performance and wanting to return to it before wrapping up.
