Pure spirit!! It opens lanes into a future dreamed and prayed for.

A tender embrace captured in sound, where each note feels like a gentle reassurance. The melody wraps around the listener, offering comfort and warmth, as if whispering that everything will be alright. It’s a heartfelt reminder of the power of simplicity and connection.

Excited to have the time to work on this theme that I composed a while back. This recording is a one take not the final version.

I want to continue the tradition and to take you from the first moments of creating a song, then being improved and then to the final versions.

Enjoy! 😉😊🤗

I dedicate it to my Wifey Meem which has been always my inspiration and my shoulder.

The return. (To my amazing wifey Meem)

I composed it a little after New Year’s Eve 2024 it’s one of my newest tracks.

It is maybe the final version or one of. It is mostly one take Piece, with a few minor track re-recordings, and it was intended so. 😊

However of the copyright, I would be more than happy if this composition would be transformed by another musician with the little request I believe, that my name should be mentioned as the composer.
Thanks!!

I don’t believe in copyright though!! 🙂

As in the end it’s not that music belongs to us it’s that we belong to the Music.

Enjoy! 😉🤗

Update:- some instruments edits with Logic Pro. august 2025

The return

Composed by myself in 2005, I had the pleasure to record it once more in a new fresh vision today, 25 April 2024.

Enjoy!

Dedicated to all of you but especially to my wifey Meem and my mom who have been my strongest supporters.

Thank you!

Undulating in the Sunshine. April 25'th 2024 version

2 years after creating it and finally, Le Grand Pirouette, my composition, continues to evolve I believe!
As I have already mentioned, my purpose isn’t to record 0 mistakes, flawless, or even edited recordings BUT TO TAKE YOU ON THE JOURNEY from when it appears in my mind and my heart and then slowly emerges and shines in something new every time.
A new recording is pending 😄
Let me know in the comments your feedback!
Thanks!
Alex
P.S. Inspired by the beautiful Ballerinas during the actual Pirouette exercise and the hard work and dedication of the brilliant Ballet Teachers Colleagues  from Liceul de Coregrafie "Floria Capsali" #bucharest #romania

Baby I loved you 
more than words can say 
I need you 
like fire needs a flame 
now I'm breaking I'm waiting 
to hear you say my name

Found What I've Been Looking For

'ex-love' 

I'm such a fuckin' fool
to have fallen for you.
You act like everything is cool,
but your words don't match what you do. 

I caught you in the act.
And how did you react?
You placed the blame right back
on me. Claimed I used the key misappropriately. 

But you're the liar and the cheat, ex-love.
So, why the fuck did you give me a key, ex-love?
If you knew you're gonna fuckin' cheat on me, ex-love?
Then turn it around, place the blame upon me, ex-love.

We're through.
Because of you.
Not me.

ex-love

“No Worries. Here’s a Hug”, that I composed today December 4th during the ballet class, is a gentle reminder that some things in life are simply beyond our control. Worries won’t change a thing—just like shouting at the clouds won’t make the sun shine or the rain pour. Whatever you’re feeling, let it pass. Don’t dwell too deeply in the emotion or let it consume you. The clouds always move on, and soon enough, the sun will break through.

This piece, a heartfelt embrace in musical form, encourages you to let go, breathe, and trust in the natural rhythm of life.

To my listeners, this composition will soon be available on streaming platforms as part of an upcoming album. The album will carry a special name—a word filled with meaning, inspired by my mom’s wisdom and by you, Meem.

Enjoy the music, and may it bring you peace and comfort!

Never worry. Here's a hug.
