Some compositional inspiration:
The Yellow River Piano Concerto is a piece interpreted from Xian Xinghai's Yellow River Cantana. I think it exemplifies some beautiful ways to interpret a river through composition. Obviously, there's nothing electronic about this piece; however, I think it's still a great source of inspiration showcasing the many changing moods and currents of a river. My favorite moment is probably the cello soli at the beginning of the second movement.
I recorded a video of me jamming to these tracks but it won't post in the comments. I love that hot piano solo in the second track. We didn't have many solos last year (except Everett's unprompted push solo), but I think it would be cool to do some of that this year with our respective instruments.
