Peace Piece by Bill Evans

It began with Peace Piece—Bill Evans tracing the shape of silence on the piano. A slow, meditative unfolding. Each note feels like it’s holding its breath, lingering just a moment longer than it needs to, inviting you to step into the stillness.

That kind of stillness has always moved me. It doesn’t shout. It doesn’t demand attention. It just waits—and somehow says more in that waiting than words ever could.

Then I found myself haunted by another piece: What Was I Made For from Barbie. A song that feels just as fragile, just as searching. It’s soft, delicate, nearly whispered—but underneath, there’s this ache. A quiet unraveling. A kind of vulnerability that asks not for answers, but for space to feel.

At some point, I realized they were both circling the same question in different ways:
Who am I beneath the surface? When the lights are off, when the roles fall away, what’s left of me?

This track is my attempt to bring those two voices into conversation. Jazz and pop. Past and present. A searching improvisation wrapped around a modern melody of doubt and longing.

I didn’t want to over-produce it. I wanted it to feel like a single breath—soft, honest, almost hesitant. I layered in textures that felt like memory: faint reverb, slow echoes, distant harmonies that barely show their faces. It’s not about perfection. It’s about presence.

Sometimes, when I play, I’m not trying to impress—I’m just trying to understand something.
This is one of those moments.

Thanks for listening.

This is a techno track, think Tron or The Matrix. 

Euphoria

This is a mellow, smooth, poppy Post Malone circa Circles era that is kind of mellow and easy going. It has lush synth sounds.
