Piano sonata number 1, Chaînes, by Francisco Merino Morales

Non, je ne cesserai jamais
de fuir tes dangereuses chaînes.
Amour, les biens que tu promets
peuvent-ils égaler tes peines?

D’Albaret, libreto de Scylla et Glaucus, de Jean Marie Leclair

Music by Didem C.
On vibraphone: Christophe Bredeloup

'Dawn Chorus, que l’on peut traduire par « le chœur de l’aube », désigne ce moment du début de journée où les oiseaux se mettent à chanter. Dans Dawn Chorus, Didem Coskunseven mêle à nouveau ses goût et intérêt personnels pour le jazz modal avec une électronique à l’esthétique contemporaine, soulignant la joie simple qu’il y a à écouter de la musique – que l’on pourrait tout aussi bien appeler le duende. El duende désigne en effet le pouvoir d’envoûtement et d’évocation de l’art : il trouve sa source au plus profond de notre être en tant que réponse physique ou émotionnelle à la réception d’une œuvre. C’est ce qui fait naître le frisson, ce qui fait sourire ou pleurer, en tant que réaction charnelle à une performance artistique particulièrement expressive. Le concept donna naissance à une théorie développée par Federico Garcia Lorca.
Cependant, ce qui intéresse Didem Coşkunseven dans Dawn Chorus est moins le duende en lui-même que ce frisson d’enchantement suscité par l’acte « d’écouter de la musique » en concert. Elle aspire ainsi à créer un « état d’émotion exacerbé », dont nous pourrions faire l’expérience collectivement ; une expérience qui serait plongée dans l’espace performatif'

Farewell My Friend

The Expansion of Infinity

In 2019, after releasing my single Distant Visions, a fan reached out and said:
“Almost sounds like something from a second interstellar suite.”

That one sentence stirred something in me. It took me back to The Maestoso Interstellar Suite—a work I originally released in 2006 and expanded into a double-disc experience for its 10-year anniversary in 2016. I began to ask myself: Is there more to explore in that soundscape? Could there be a continuation—not a sequel, but a new frontier?

At the time, I had also released a companion version of the suite: a more accessible, “radio edit” style reimagining called Singularities. It wasn’t just a shortened take—it was a different perspective. Like looking at a galaxy from another angle.

And now, Singularities has found its true home—as the next entry in a new, ever-evolving musical journey.

Welcome to Infinity

Infinity is more than a project. It’s a living archive. A space where reinterpretations and original compositions coexist. Ambient. Orchestral. Space-driven. Timeless. It has no definitive ending—only a series of unfolding volumes, each offering a glimpse into the same emotional cosmos from a different light.

Infinity Volume II – Singularities

This volume reintroduces the material from The Maestoso Interstellar Suite through a reframed lens: shortened, accessible, and arranged to stand on its own as individual pieces. If the Suite was a continuous voyage, Singularities is the constellation map—each track a star with its own identity, orbiting the same emotional core.

Originally created as an alternate listening experience, this version of Singularities now shines as a fully realized volume within Infinity. It respects its source material while offering something more focused—more immediate—without losing depth.

Where It’s Going

The Infinity series continues to grow. Each volume refines, reimagines, or reaches beyond what came before. And there’s more to come:

Infinity Volume I – The Maestoso Interstellar Suite

Infinity Volume II – Singularities

With each step, I revisit and reshape ideas I once thought complete. And with every new piece, I get closer to the sound I’ve always heard in my head—now finally possible with the tools I have today.

Maybe it’s unconventional. Maybe it’s a little obsessive.
But that’s Infinity—and it’s not supposed to end.

Movement X (General Relativity)

The idea for this track was born from listening to a piano experiment by Meccaniche del Suono (https://soundcloud.com/meccaniche-del-suono/2-di-3-hole-third-disquiet0698). 
The sound of the piano (Meccaniche del Suono) made me imagine that moment of suspension  in the air just before the rain. 
I thank the author (@meccaniche-del-suono) for the permission to rework and publish the track. I invite you to visit his very interesting Soundcloud page.
