There's this little project I've been working on for about, oh, a decade now. I call it "Dumeh". It's a modern (meaning it's probably a little too pop-ish, has a drumkit, and I wrote it in the 2000s) symphony in three parts (fast-slow-fast), and is in the key of Cm (I think!; not good at that kind of thing, actually). I'm working with a local union of musicians to get it performed and recorded all legitimate-like in the next few months, which I'm incredibly ecstatic about.

The whole shebang is 7-8 minutes long and includes all the usual orchestra members you'd expect, but the very intro is played by a single instrument. Here's the main intro theme, as originally written for guitar:

The timing is not well-represented, but you sort of get...something out of the above, right? This may be my favorite creation of all time. It's not musically insane or anything, but the rhythm has a nice flow, and chords are a bit unsettling, yet still tasty.

The piano version of this, which is what the finished product will use, is more complex, but the gist is the same. Bringing full-on creation to a riff I came up with over 10 years ago...well, it's gonna be a dream come true.
