Music for a Summer Night

Candlelight Waltz

Here is the story of a little girl learning to play the violin. She struggles to play, and through her struggle she creates a new way of practicing: she imagines bringing her stuffed animal to life; a simple, Orange Elephant. He awakens, sits at a tiny piano (which is the same size as him now) and, for a moment,  plays a tune for her. She is taken by a melody, and plays it, completely enraptured by the intensity and simpleness of the piece.
...you get the idea?

Special thanks to my family who supported me to get to this point. This is an old one I made in 2007-2008 finally finished (I seem to have a large archive of old stuff to finish out). I hope you enjoy the song!

Wiege | ALIEN STAGE (String Special Soundtrack)

“Trace” drifts like a memory that lingers just beneath the surface — delicate piano lines blending intimacy with a quiet cinematic depth. Inspired by the stillness of night and the quiet marks we leave behind, this piece is for moments of reflection and gentle focus.
