Shrimp Tale is a recollection of the diverse and vibrant life in Miami, where I lived between 1997-2001. The curvy narrative structure includes two contrasting thematic elements: a groove-based 5/4-meter passage and a Salsa tune that are first exposed in short passages and are juxtaposed against each other. Various thematic transformations bring out different meanings for each element, often with a sense of humor or irony.
