This compilation is an ethereal blend of ambient tracks inspired by the mystical allure of gems, minerals, and ancient stones.

Gems and Minerals

Opal

Experimental ambient music label.

Surreal music for a deep listening experience.

Violinist, pianist, chamber and orchestral musician, devoted to composing neo-classical music. 

I want to weave a gentle, emotional orchestral language, that speaks about live and touches the heart. I try to capture these ephemeral, timeless, and moving moments, transcribing them with devotion to sound and recording them in the sound studio.

The music creations are a testament to the value of retreat,
where silence gives birth to the most profound expressions, contrapuncting the noise of our world.

Thanks for your kind listening and commenting !
