I always love live recordings. No safety net with editing. You've proved you can do it in the spotlight as well as in the comfort of your own home.

I've always loved this part, great rolling arpeggios

I'm a sucker for those high end twinkling interludes

A few months ago I read an article in the press about Wabi-sabi, a Japanese concept to refer to the beauty given off by certain low-fidelity, worn-out works of art that imprint a kind of melancholy before the old, that which is about to break or what will disappear.

The 'wabi-sabi' is also shown in a special way in the contemplation of nature and its appreciation as something outside of human action. "Human beings naturally impose their standards of value and perfection on the world, and in doing so, they conflict with a natural beauty that is best left free." This psychological approach to the concept encourages us to accept or celebrate imperfection, freeing us from the self-assumed tension to achieve perfection.

Since then I couldn't help but think of music as 'wabi-sabi', and I composed this song inspired by the concept. I hope you like it
