Immerse yourself in the intimate and nostalgic atmosphere of "Autumn's First Scent," a solo piano composition that captures the essence of the early days of fall.

This track is a journey through memories and sensations that only autumn can awaken, bringing a sense of peace and reflection. Perfect for accompanying moments of introspection or for relaxing on an autumn day.

Let the sound of the piano wrap around you and breathe in the first scent of autumn.

Autumn’s First Scent

103 - Surrendering

Donde El Gesto Habla (“Where the Gesture Speaks”) was born from an unexpected invitation to perform at an international animal-rights event. I wasn’t ready for the stage, yet the gesture—someone truly caring about my music and what it stands for—spoke louder than words.
The piece doesn’t run; it walks. Two even steps, like two hands reaching for each other. Deep down a low heartbeat holds the breath; above it, a gentle voice answers in fragments—one held word, then two whispers—climbing and descending in small steps. The wave swells, lays down, grows quiet again. And often, before it fades, it leaves a tiny falling sigh, like a softly spoken “yes.”
Dedicated to those who give voice to the voiceless.

I make music because it is where I let go of the have-to’s, and become part of something larger than myself. The language I speak on the keyboard when I improvise expresses a part of me that only comes out there at the moment of creation - when I’m fully connected and in the flow. In those moments when I disappear in the music, those are where I’m most fully alive. The musical question I pose to myself when I play is largely this: how can I release my inhibitions and let go of patterns sufficient to bring something entirely new, unexpected, and enlightening into the world, with structure, precision, clarity, and depth of expression. These pieces are meditations that are of me, but more precisely, they come through me. When I’m in the flow, I’m channeling the energy and only moderately directing it. The challenge is to be open to take risks while maintaining a structure, melody, and tempo that makes it interesting and satisfying enough to keep listening. I keep doing this nightly because it’s a language, because it’s a connection to something greater than myself, and because it’s very very relaxing.
