Wave cluster is a musical technique of piano playing, which is characterized with the arms placed on the instrument in such a position, that they use the highest, the middle and the lower register simultaneously.

Left arm is divided into five zones: elbow and forearm form the foundation and the harmonic pattern - while the wrist, metacarpus and fingers from random melodic lines. The right arm mirrors the left arm, but typically is used for melodics.

Wave cluster broadens performance opportunities, creating the ensemble sound, as all of the zones sound synchronously, on the model of chamber ensembles, where every instrument has a separate role.
The keyboard of the digital piano with fast response is sensitive to every touch, so the performance doesn`t require efforts, peculiar to acoustic instruments, where slow touch doesn`t make hammers hit the strings. This is an obvious advantage of the digital instrument over the analogue.

There were made copies of the improvisations recorded in such method. These copies were edited until the achievement of the necessary sound.

Sarracenia: in this plant both flora and fauna are united. But it has no evident aggression and its structure with hunting itself remind us about some kind of a funnel, used in marketing - when a victim climbs down its walls trying to satisfy its needs. Thus, in the world of nature such a result is completely logical.

Such an idea is reflected in this music. It has no harmonical cliches and markers of a trend. Just a naive pentatonic free from egoism and signs of individuality, that are emphasized in the second chapter.
