love the clarity of those plucked sounds, beautiful ear ticklers

This series is already spectacular in scope (and will end up having enough content to keep a soundtrack-hungry TV show going for a good decade. Haha).

Wonderful little twist right here. Dancehall of the Deceased. :)

really dig your expansive use of strings in this story so far... someday I hope this is a movie cause i get visuals when I listen to your tracks

this part is very cool, the whole part actually... you know what i mean

wow so much to do. keep snipping before the storm arrives. 👏👏

Enter the enigmatic world of "TAFFETA," a musical tapestry woven from the threads of dreams and tragedy. Born from a single night of profound dreaming, this ambitious project embarks on an exploration of the human psyche through the language of instrumental music.

This is a five-year project, comprising of what will eventually end at 266 chapters, each is a standalone piece of sonic artistry, "TAFFETA" unfolds like a novel, with each composition serving as a chapter in a larger narrative. Crafted with meticulous care and creative fervor, every piece is birthed within the span of a week, capturing the essence of inspiration in its purest form.

But "TAFFETA" is more than just a collection of songs; it's a journey of the soul. Set against the backdrop of loss and longing, the project follows the story of a woman who slips into a coma following the untimely death of her husband. Through the evocative power of music, listeners are transported into her world, where emotions ebb and flow like the tides of a restless sea.

Week by week, each chapter of "TAFFETA" unfolds on SoundCloud, inviting audiences to immerse themselves in its haunting beauty. From cinematic compositions to haunting electronic soundscapes, each piece adds a layer to the intricate tapestry of sound, weaving a narrative that transcends the boundaries of language.

As listeners embark on this sonic voyage, they are invited to ponder the mysteries of existence, to confront the depths of sorrow and the resilience of the human spirit. "TAFFETA" is not merely a musical project; it's an experience—a testament to the transformative power of music to touch hearts, stir souls, and awaken the imagination.

Proud and  honored to once again have the invaluable collaboration of DelhyA, on this very personal and key song in the future concept album.

Lyrics:

My old notebook (with) my youth poems 
Thinking no one was the same forgotten moldy in a chest
Never found lips (that) wanted to declime 

My old canvases full of greys 
No one else was able to paint 
Moldy forgotten unfortunate 
Never found eyes that contemplate 

Suddenly
No more grey (just Pink)
I claim 
It was 
A sunny day (summer day)
You came 
That day (What a day)
I saw 
in your eyes
my legacy 
was you. (Was you). 

My life has never been the same since the day you came
Only the see the sun shining through the rain since the day you came

my footsteps in the sand, 
a land that no one could step on.
erased by the ocean tide, 
no one can follow them

Suddenly
No more grey (just Pink)
I claim 
It was 
A sunny day (summer day)
You came 
That day (What a day)
I saw 
in your eyes
my legacy 
was you. (Was you). 

My life has never been the same since the day you came
Only the see the sun shining through the rain since the day you came

Frida Kahlo was a Mexican painter known for her many portraits, self portraits and works inspired by the nature and artifacts of Mexico.  Her paintings often had strong autobiographical elements and mixed realism with fantasy. She is also known for painting about her experience of chronic pain. In most of her self-portraits, she depicts her face as mask-like, but surrounded by visual cues which allow the viewer to decipher deeper meanings. Aztec mythology features heavily in Kahlo's paintings in symbols including skeletons and skulls.  In the painting, Dream of The Bed, painted in the year of 1940, Frida expressed her feeling and interception of death, which depicts a skeleton on the canopy of her bed (as she had in her real life). Her husband, Diego Rivera called the Juda, Frida's lover, but Frida said it's just an amusing reminder of people's mortality. Frida Kahlo spent much of her life in pain.  As As a teenager she suffered a horrific bus accident which left her unable to have children and meant she needed more than 30 operations on her spine. Eventually her withered leg had to be amputated and she died at 47. She said in her diary: “Feet, why do I need you, if I have wings to fly”
For guitar, accordion, trumpet, violin, double bass, sound effects and percussion
