The Sun Will Eventually Rise

Oh WOW! Over 2000 plays of this very personal track. To think I was hesitant to even post it... Thank you so much! ❤️

In our lives, we are granted the opportunity to witness the departure of our loved ones. Some depart through doors, never to return, yet still exist somewhere. Others leave suddenly, unexpectedly. Yet some depart when we are somewhat prepared, for their age predisposes them to it. However, there are also departures more challenging... when we observe the tree of the mind of a beloved, from which memories' leaves fall, and even the freshest, youngest cannot hold on to it. We cannot help, we can only watch how they fall...

Composing this little piece was very personal. It was combined with the realization of a fact from my immediate surroundings. I left all imperfections of my playing because of how I felt at that moment. It wasn't an improvisation, it was an interpretation of a theme that I've developed few minutes earlier.

RED VEIL

Here another piece with little crackles from my DAW, but the sound quality is quite acceptable, i'm sorry for that !

79 - Foggy Morning

81 - Roaming

85 - Breaking Point

This is a serene and introspective piece for felt piano and strings, reimagined from my earlier piece, Twilight Clouds. The delicate tone of the felt piano creates an intimate space for reflection, while the sound of strings unfold like a backdrop to your thoughts. It  invites you to pause, immerse yourself in your emotions.
I hope you'll enjoy!
