I composed some progressive rock music that did not sound like Aziola Cry so I made it my own. The album features Warr guitar as its sole melodic instrument with accompaniment by Marco Minnemann on drums. The music is meant to be the soundtrack to a modern retelling of the Pied Piper with screens playing the title role.
