Description: Do you ever feel like the key is in your pocket, but the door keeps changing?

I started writing this song in the spring of ’22. This time was spent listening to the music of Yuki Kaneko and Manuella Blackburn while immersing myself in the flowering local grasslands. I was struck by the delicate, secluded intimacy of Yuki’s album “rut”, the jaw-dropping detail of Manuella’s “Formes audibles”, and how this music accentuated the surrounding landscape. I tried to capture this feeling and the sense of renewal it inspired while honoring these wonderful artists.

‘kite song’ is a tribute to the kind of music that pulled me into writing music in the first place many years ago - sparkly, celebratory, dense with colorful motifs and bright palettes. Thanks for listening and I hope you enjoy <3
