Shifting Colors on the Slant: Solo piano music by Petrichor founder Amin Sharifi, performed by Futaba Niekawa. The composer writes: 'Rhythmic and melodic elements of Persian traditional music, as well as the idea of coloring in impressionistic music/painting are other sources of inspiration I drew upon in composing the pieces of this collection'.
