Alter of Faded Echoes

What is now?
What is now?
What you see from me is already in the past.
For sure it's a short time lapse, a small fraction of a second.
Light is fast, and there's just a few steps separating our pains.
Will you please now forgive me?
Will you please now forgive me?
Behind what you now see, there is already a different man.

Time Lapse (Based on Anastasyia and David de Michele instrumental)

Excited to present you an older recording of mine that Apple Music started playing by chance today so i thought to share it with you.

It is my own, one take  reinterpretation of a such a beautiful soundtrack from the French movie "Amélie (Le Fabuleux Destin d'Amélie Poulain)"

Enjoy!

Hope you have a great evening/day!: )

Nascence (Rework)

Autotelic Blue was improvised in a trance-like state of mind (state of intense focus on a task thought to be just within reach) in which no notion of 'self' or of 'I' or ego is possible. There are many wonderful improvisational artists here present, who will know what I mean.

Sometimes we take lonely walks in our minds as we try to understand what we did that made our life go down different paths. Most of my music is in minor keys that being out  the melancholy feelings we have bottled up. For me, my music helps me make sense of those feelings.
