The Descent

Call of the weird. I pressed the wrong button. God spoke to me from my pants pocket.

Letting Go

IDK. Was talking to a friend about how judgmental folks can be. Went to the piano and it said this. How judgy.

How People Are

Back at my acoustic piano for my first song of 2025. 😊🎶🎹🌷

Thank you @wane-of-summer for a wonderful master. 😊🎶❤️❤️❤️

All my colours are on display
But it seems
That you want me anyway
Oh how we’ll grow

I’m no bed of roses
But you help me bloom…

Oh how time flies 
And the petals fall
Oh now I bloom
No thorns in sides
Oh how we grow

I’m no bed of roses
But you help me grow…

In full bloom…

All my colours
Are on display 
But it seems
That you need me anyway

BED OF ROSES (acoustic piano)

As You Asked is not a piece about certainty, but about trust — the kind that is born when two souls meet through creation. As if the piano itself understood the question and, without hesitation, simply replied: as you asked.
It was born from an exchange between Francesco Adornetto and Jessica Brown Bains, from a simple phrase that holds an entire intention: to offer something genuine, without hesitation. Each note is a wordless reply, a musical gesture that doesn’t aim to explain, but simply to be — like lifelong friends — just as requested, just as felt.
Within the flow of the composition, there is a delicate balance between listening and revealing. The higher phrases — quick and fleeting — feel like whispered thoughts, while the deep and steady foundation tells of a profound intimacy, one that reveals itself only to those who know how to ask sincerely.

As You Asked
