I have no words for what you are playing ... except that it is infinitely beautiful!

Such full richness, love the layering and how it changes and flows. Beautifully done.

Wonderful texture! Hypnotic and expressive.

Splendid pianissimo finale in decrescendo.

Soundcloud took this track down twice accidentally because of copyright claims, but we had permission from the label..
This is a string collab with @rooydadofficial https://www.instagram.com/rooydad/

''I could have lived differently" describes the discrepancy between society's expectations and individual dreams and desires. Deep, clean sounds of the cello form the basis for an emotional and building violin melody creating a harmonious, cinematic string composition full of hope, that is characterized by Middle Eastern/Asian influences. I play acoustic violin here and also added cello lines.

The story behind it:
‘In my life, I was always at a crossroads. Between interests and pursuing my dreams and what society and family wants me to do. I could have lived differently. It is about the story of all the people who decide not to be like everyone else in the world. They have the courage to live differently the way they want to live. This is for those who say I will live differently if I go back in time. They go to their dreams without fear; however, Modern life and the world community make all people a completely identical  version and do not respect the different talents of individuals.’

Dawn of the morning lightly caresses
The moon touch of our hearts reveals 
In the blackest of nights..
In the breathlessness of circumstances 
The embracing hearts slowly heals..
