Rumores de la Caleta - Malagueña

Isaac Albéniz: Rumores de la Caleta - Malagueña

A lot is happening in my life at this moment. Sometimes for me music is a way to escape all the stuff, that makes life complicated. I started working on this new ep and had a lot of emotions and thoughts, which were in need of some form of expression. I really hope you like my compositions, because I put a lot of love, time and work into these. From writing to playing the tracks in a recording environment - I did everything on my own! :) 

Special thanks to DSN Audiprodukion for recording me in his studio, mixing and mastering!

What do you feel when you hear this music?

A Life Never Lived

An expression of painful elements: confinement, loneliness, and failing to attain what one is reaching for. The middle section (starting in Gb major) offers a little solace, but is only fleeting.
