“Reflections in Motion” is a musical journey through light and shadow, where every melody becomes a mirror of the inner world. The album unites 15 tracks, each creating its own microcosm — from the gentle glow of morning awakening to the calm of a city night, from the whisper of an ocean breeze to timeless, suspended spaces.

Velvety saxophone lines, warm Rhodes chords, deep bass, and airy synth textures evoke a sense of purity and weightlessness. This is music for contemplation, for meditation, for feeling the space between notes — and the moments between breaths.

Mood: serenity, gentle nostalgia, romance, and soft philosophy.
Perfect for quiet evenings at home, solitary walks, rainy days, or dawns when the world is just beginning to wake.

5. Palm Reflection

“ANORIEL” opens like a soft breeze through an old window, the sound of calm reflection and gentle soul. Flowing at ~80 BPM in D minor, the track breathes with organic warmth, blending folk motifs and smooth jazz phrasing. Classic guitar strings shimmer against slow, soulful saxophone lines, their voices meeting in the middle of silence. A ~0.54 stereo width gives the music room to glow, while a ~18.5 dB dynamic range lets every brush, breath, and string resonate naturally.

“ANORIEL” carries the essence of Anatolia and the elegance of modern jazz in a single voice — subtle percussion, airy ambient pads, and timeless melodic grace. It feels both ancient and new, like watching the world through a golden window of memory. A piece to unwind, to think, and to simply be.

Technical Notes: ~80 BPM • D minor • Stereo width ~0.54 • Spectral centroid ~3.0 kHz • Rolloff ~9.1 kHz • DR ~18.5 dB • RMS ~–16.5 dBFS • 48 kHz

Fusion Breakdown (%): Anadolu Folk Jazz 30% / Smooth Jazz 25% / Neo-Soul / Chill Lounge 20% / Cinematic Ambient 15% / Ethereal Experimental 10%
