Merry-Go-Round of Life (From "Howl's Moving Castle")

Czardas (Vittorio Monti)

Dreamflow is a slow, soothing journey into sound—an intimate blend of soft jazz textures and calming saxophone melodies that drift like moonlight across quiet waters. Each piece moves with unhurried grace, inviting the listener into a world where time stretches, breath deepens, and the soul unwinds.

Warm saxophone lines float over gentle harmonies, creating waves of peaceful resonance that flow effortlessly from one moment to the next. The music feels like a nighttime breeze—smooth, comforting, and lightly illuminated—guiding the mind into rest and the heart into ease.

Perfect for deep relaxation, prayerful reflection, evening unwinding, or simply finding stillness, Dreamflow turns every listening space into a sanctuary of calm. Let the melodies carry you, slow your spirit, and awaken a quiet sense of peace within.

Compassion

In 1997, I wrote the soundtrack for a movie being produced by members of the Jewish Anti-Defamation League, about Dachau.  For those that don't know, Dachau was the longest operation concentration camp run by the Nazis from 1933 to 1945.  Somewhere in the neighborhood of 30,000 people were systematically tortured and murdered in the camp.  This was to be the main title theme song, but alas, they dropped the project due to lack of money.  I've seen the first 20 minutes or so, and it's a real shame it wasn't finished.

I visited this camp, and I can tell you that it is one of the most unnerving experiences you'll ever have.  You can feel. touch and smell evil there, and the voices of its victims are still heard in and around the camp.   After I visited it, I sat on the curb in the parking lot and cried for a full 2 hours.

Elegy In Shadows

The Mask Murders is an instrumental Edwardian noir set in Deptford, London, in 1905. Across three acts, the album traces the path from a quiet neighborhood paint shop to the birth of modern forensic justice.

Act I lingers in the world of the victims: a small shop glowing under gaslight, dawn on Deptford High Street, and the low hum of London life. Two discarded masks, an open cash box, and whispers moving through the streets slowly bend the music toward unease. By the time the six days have passed, the city’s everyday sounds—fog, footfall, and a fading music hall waltz—have become the backdrop to a double murder.

Act II shifts into the interior of the new fingerprint bureau. Chamber textures tighten and overlap as motifs are passed between instruments like evidence between hands. Themes are examined, restated, and set in counterpoint, mirroring the growing list of matching points and the investigator’s struggle between professional certainty and private doubt. The sound is small, acoustic, and precise, rooted in early-twentieth-century harmony.

Act III moves to the courtroom and the gallows. Formal, hymn-like writing and slow tolling rhythms carry the listener through the trial at the Old Bailey, the weight of the verdict, and the quiet finality of a morning at Wandsworth. In the closing piece, the fingerprint patterns return in a cool, stripped-back epilogue, suggesting a future in which a few ridges on glass quietly govern life and death.

Lent et douloureux.
Slow and sorrowful.

"Oblique et coupant l'ombre un torrent éclatant; Ruisselait en flots d'or sur la dalle polie; Où les atomes d'ambre au feu se miroitant; Mêlaient leur sarabande à la gymnopédie."

"Slanting and shadow-cutting a flickering eddy
Trickled in gusts of gold to the shiny flagstone
Where the atoms of amber in the fire mirroring themselves
Mingled their sarabande to the gymnopaedia"

- Contamine de Latour

The instrument is a Clavia Nord Stage 2 using a sampled Yamaha C7 with a generous amount of reverb and phaser, and a thin layer of strings.
