This is very beautiful, Michel.  (I'm perusing your archives and noting with interest the ones marked #piano :)  I can't help myself.

I really enjoy all these intricate layers

A true mark of beauty. Hope you're happy to be able to create such art, Mike!

I am 👁️🌹👁️ addicted 🦋🌺🦋

Mystical, time shifting, musical imagination here. Congrats!

In the middle of last year I couldn’t stop writing hymns for whatever reason… every piece I wrote sounded like a hymn, every song I wrote was based on hymn-like chord progressions. I suppose it was my own way of playing some peace into the atmosphere when it seemed society was coming apart. It can be hard to know how to respond to things as an artist, but I have a deep belief that creating can bring about its own kind of healing—healing not just for the artist but for those who listen (or watch) as well. 

It’s compositionally my favorite track on the EP—I took a traditional-sounding progression and expanded it into something with a modern-classical flavor. I also just love how insanely creaky and old this one ended up sounding… like one of the dusty, forgotten, and out-of-tune pianos I’ve played in so many churches over the years. It’s also the most fun to play!

I had a track called "Drops" by then, I kept going back to it and was never satisfied with the changes I did to improve certain parts in it I took the scissor and CUT.., So yes, not a true metamorphosis but close enough ...,  :) ! Hope you enjoy anyway
