This familiar melody foreshadowed it all...

Work Playlist_part2

Since I first started creating and releasing music back in 2015, I've had loads of fun experimenting with virtual orchestral instruments. One of my main composing objectives while using these instruments has been to try and paint vivid cinematic soundscapes that evolve and inspire - 'Rain Shelter [2017]' is my first instalment of works in this style. 

Ever since then, I have created tons of orchestral/ambient works that live in a similar space. Some of which made their way into projects such as "Sketches of an Old Soul [2023]" and "Cloud Fields [2023]" - But even so, there were a few core ideas (started back during my 2015 exploration phase) that never made it to the point of completion. At long last, "Above the Sky [2025]" eventually rose from the aether and acted as the shining motivation needed to finish the unfinished. The results are a marvellous culmination of cinematic vibes built across years of musical sketching and experimenting, now here to delight your ears.

Released on my 30th birthday, and to mark a decade of writing music professionally - may you enjoy this collection of music.

Remembrance

Story
The Lady of the Lake.
In the heart of the Brocéliande forest, where the trees whisper in Breton and the stones hold the memory of the Druids, there is a lake that does not appear on modern maps. They call it Lac du Miroir, because its surface reflects not only the sky, but also the most hidden thoughts of whoever looks in.
There lives Viviane, the Lady of the Lake, an immortal sorceress born from the dew and the music of the leaves. Her hair is like mist at dawn, and her eyes contain the blue of all the rivers of France. She does not walk: she glides over the water as if time obeys her.
Merlin's Legacy
Viviane was a disciple and lover of the wizard Merlin, but she was not his shadow. She learned the secrets of time, the alchemy of feelings, and the geometry of dreams. When Merlin fell prisoner of his own desire, locked in an invisible tower, Viviane became the guardian of his wisdom.
Since then, she has protected the balance between the human and the magical. Sometimes she appears to lost poets, to musicians who weep in silence, or to children who still believe in dragons. She offers them a cup of water from the lake, which does not quench their thirst, but awakens ancestral memories.
The Knight of Silence
In times of war, a nameless knight came to the lake seeking redemption. He had killed for orders, for honor, for fear. Viviane looked at him without judgment and offered him a crystal sword that could only be wielded in defense of beauty.
The knight accepted, and since then he has wandered the lands of France, protecting dreamers, lovers, and those who still believe in music. His armor does not shine, but his presence calms the wolves.
The Return
It is said that when the Louvre fills with water and the clocks of Paris stop, Viviane will emerge from the lake and walk the avenues.
