Notes

The title “LIGHT & DARK” refers to the juxtaposition of different musical genres, between "light and serious", a multifaceted abstract percussion blending sounds of nature, dance, folklore, legends, and the severe sonic architectures from J. S. Bach to the present day. In the "LIGHT" CD, one can appreciate Keiko Abe's "Wind Sketch II" (Scherzi del Vento), a Japanese composer often inspired by natural events in her music. Cadença per Berimbau by Ney Rosauro focuses on the chordophone percussion instrument of African origin used in Brazil in the acrobatic dance Capoeira. Afro-Amero by Phil Faini is characterized by deep roots in the percussion of the 6/8 rhythms of the African Yoruba tribe. This is followed by pleasant arrangements of Birdland by Joseph Zawinul, ex-Weather Report, and Why not! by the virtuoso pianist of Puerto Rican origin Michael Camilo. With Ney Rosauro's Mitos Brasileiros, we delve into Brazilian mysteries and legends, with the narration of its bizarre characters represented by colorful rhythms, sounds, and instruments. The CD concludes with a solo jazz drum performance accompanied by a small percussion orchestra in John Beck's Drum Concerto. The "DARK" CD, on the other hand, presents a program with a distinct classical and contemporary feel. It begins with the sonic architecture of J. S. Bach in this Prelude in the atypical version for two marimbas; it continues with the spatialized timbral interpenetrations of sound tubes, glasses, and vibraphone in Mimesis, a piece composed for the Ensemble by Giovanni Bonato, and with Lou Harrison's unique experience in 1942, experimenting with references to Javanese music with sounds obtained from recycled objects such as trash cans, disc brakes, watch and truck springs… Following this: Metal-mente, a serial piece for vibraphone and only percussive and rubbed metallophones with curious but effective methods, dedicated to Edoardo Gioachini and the Ensemble; Kecak, "the dance of the chattering monkeys" by the Japanese Akira Nishimura, inspired by one of the dramaturgies of the island of Bali and based on four sequences that intertwine like a rhythmic belt coupled with a pair of timpani and vibraphone that develop a dialogue similar to the Indian Raga. It concludes with a "live" version of Ionisation by Edgard Varèse for thirteen performers, described by Curt Sachs as "the greatest rhythmic inspiration ever composed," an absolute masterpiece, completed in 1932, characterized by an incessant explosion of imagination and timbral creativity within traditional constructive elements.

Full, Fluffy & Perfectly Supportive Euro Pillows!
Item Package Quantity: 2, Size: European, Item Package Quantity: 2, Size: European
These Euro size pillow inserts are fantastic! They’re soft, full, fluffy, and hold their shape very well. The firmness is perfect — supportive without feeling too hard. They filled my pillow covers beautifully and made the bed look much more luxurious. Great quality for the price and very comfortable for lounging or sleeping. Very happy with this purchase!

amazing.
Item Package Quantity: 4, Size: Queen
WOW. I was really skeptical, but the other reviews are spot on: these are amazing firm pillows. I really hope they don't lose their firmness and become lumpy like other pillows tend to do. Excellent pillows for the price!!

These are very thick pillows.
Item Package Quantity: 2, Size: Queen
Exactly as advertised. They are very firm and very thick. They're too thick for me to be able to use as bed pillows. However, they seem to work pretty well as cushions in my papasan chair on top of its normal cushion also work very well as decorative pillows. I'm still giving them four stars because they're exactly as advertised and they seem well made. My only complaint is that they're just too thick. And that's definitely not the fault of the pillows or the pillow maker.

how good the product is
Item Package Quantity: 4, Size: Standard
These pillows are soft, fluffy, and surprisingly supportive for the price. They’re comfortable no matter how you sleep — whether on your side, back, or stomach — and they maintain their shape well overnight without going flat. The fabric cover feels smooth and breathable, keeping things cool through the night. After a few days of fluffing and use, they settle nicely into a perfect medium firmness. They also wash and dry easily without clumping. Overall, a great‑value pillow set that offers comfort, versatility, and quality — ideal if you need an affordable yet cozy bedding refresh.
