Compositions - piano and orchestrated versions - Some representative testimonies:

Very evocative! I especially like how the chords never really resolve where you would expect them to. It really does give you a sense of the description you provide to the piece, like a scene where you are going around corners and seeing something new at every turn. Excellent!
