Chilling out to this wonderful piece...it's a Public Holiday here in the UK, so think I'll stay right here in Hilario's garden...

Such a calm, uplifting and soaring ambiance.

Gently floating on this wonderful , peaceful and dreamy flow. Absolutely lovely collab.

Surrender to The Garden...between the Northern Virginia chill to a hot Amsterdam !

Beautiful enveloping soundscape sharing the peace of a precious space. Superb track.

Love this energy...really well constructed

I don't wanna share your dreams
I don't wanna wait for your team
I don't wanna care for those kids
I got nothing to give
I just wanna live

I don't wanna know about everything
'Cause everything is fake like you
Everything is stats and numbers, man
And I got zero fucks to give
I just wanna live

Yeah, I don't wanna be
On your right side of history
It's a mystery what all of that means
And I'm not all that intrigued about the fucking thing
I just wanna live

Just Wanna Live

As You Asked is not a piece about certainty, but about trust — the kind that is born when two souls meet through creation. As if the piano itself understood the question and, without hesitation, simply replied: as you asked.
It was born from an exchange between Francesco Adornetto and Jessica Brown Bains, from a simple phrase that holds an entire intention: to offer something genuine, without hesitation. Each note is a wordless reply, a musical gesture that doesn’t aim to explain, but simply to be — like lifelong friends — just as requested, just as felt.
Within the flow of the composition, there is a delicate balance between listening and revealing. The higher phrases — quick and fleeting — feel like whispered thoughts, while the deep and steady foundation tells of a profound intimacy, one that reveals itself only to those who know how to ask sincerely.

80_Im Kölner Dom (Grandbrothers Tribute) - released on 15 May 2025 (only on Soundcloud)

TV channel ARTE animated the "Grandbrothers" for a special concert on 26 August 2022 on the occasion of the 700th anniversary of the consecration of the Cologne Cathedral choir. Discovered in the media library, I was fascinated & inspired to dedicate a track to them! #ambient #modernclassic #trance #onlymelodies #nobeats #liverecording

Im Kölner Dom (Grandbrothers Tribute)

A free form one take  improvisation from my friend Hilario spiced up with a bass and some minor additions. 
Dedicated and inspired by Hilario’s beloved garden I used a field recording to depict and emphasize the outside atmosphere.

Piano, saxophone, synths, idea: Hilario https://soundcloud.com/gintong-bahaghari
Bass, synths and production: Peter

Special thanks for use of his field recording goes to sithjawa on freesound.org

The Garden

I did not use AI support at any stage in the creation of this piece.

When I started composing this piece in December, after buying Spitfire Originals Intimate Strings on sale, I had these thoughts: If this is what the future is going to look like, I didn't sign up for it. Although in my youth I read and watched a lot of SF films presenting both utopia and dystopia, I always preferred the bright future. However, what I see on TV, on YouTube and outside my window is starting to resemble the latter...

Despite this, I hope you like the piece at least a little bit

To make this track I used:
Ableton Live 11 Standard
Spitfire Originals Intimate Strings
Spitfire Originals Cinematic Percussion
Spitfire BBC SO Discover (free)
Soundpaint 1928 Vintage Steinway Grand Piano (free)
Arturia Augmented Voices
Arturia Augmented Mallets Play (free)
Strezov Sampling Afflatus Minimalist Violins Legato Freebie (free for Kontakt Player)

Beside plug-ins I used 3 samples:
Two from BBC Sample Library:
- Rioting - Riot in Belfast - with breaking glass, rubber bullets, distant cries and chants
- Chatter - Club atmosphere, busy mixed chatter at mealtime (mid-distance) - 1981 (1C25,reprocessed)
and from Freesample.org
Real War - Marines in Firefight Gunbattle (Raw audio) by qubodup

Future Perfect?

Chapter 236 of 266

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.

Lotus Meditation Flow

Through signs that never arrive and streetlights that refuse to shine, light makes its way through broken streets and fading echoes. Veins of neon pulse in the shadows, fragile but enduring, while the mechanisms of silence turn ceaselessly. In this fragile geometry, illumination emerges not as brilliance, but as presence, gently carried, born of a silent persistence.

Dreams That Collapse
