In the half-light between dreaming and waking, our world reveals its true nature: a perpetual threshold where nothing fully is, yet everything is becoming. Airport terminals at 3 AM hold their breath in fluorescent stillness, neither departure nor arrival, while empty parking garages echo with the ghostly memories of footsteps that might have been. We live in the spaces between definitive moments—the pause before the conductor's baton falls, the instant between clicking "send" and delivery, the sunset hour when day hasn't quite surrendered to night. These liminal spaces are reality's waiting rooms, where time feels both stretched and compressed, where identity becomes fluid as mercury, and where the familiar world dissolves into something stranger and more sublime. Here, in these threshold spaces, we are all travelers passing through doors that lead to doors that lead to doors, never quite arriving, never fully departed, suspended in the infinite moment between what was and what will be.

The piano used on this piece was a supposed haunted object, rescued from a cruise ship that had been left to float away.

Field recording taken by IB in the Rhine w/jrz hydrophone in Basel in 2023 during the research phase.

'If I live with you
N latitudes and longitudes
simultaneous instants
before and after
my vertebral consumption
in between
we will rest.
Wherever you are
whenever you happen to be
stay put.

Se vivo con te
N latitudini e longitudini
istanti simultanei
prima e dopo il consumarsi
delle mie vertebre
in questo intervallo di mezzo
riposeremo.
Ovunque tu sia
in qualunque attimo ti trovi
resta fermo.'

hurt (2024)

Ovheda - Unreleased Demo x42

Creative inspiration comes and goes. There is a time to rest, and a time to be active. Each Summer is usually a musically fallow period for me. Kids are home from school. The garden is calling. Routines are off and the air conditioner is too loud. 

On August 1, 2024 of last year I wrote the beginning of this piece. I thought it was incomplete. But returning to it a year later, I realized it was basically done, it needed just a bit of color in the second half. 

There always comes a time in the writing process where I need to commit a piece to a form. It’s a weird feeling. That if I don’t record a piece, it feels incomplete. I don’t know how some people do it: writing entire compositions, committing them to paper before they are recorded. Because there are always spontaneous, unplanned moments in recording, that end up fitting perfectly in the final version of the piece. It’s like I have to leave open the possibility of something interesting happening in the recording process.

I’ve named this piece “First Step”, because in the creative process, there is always a first step that needs to be taken. And that first step is always the hardest. This is my first step toward whatever is ahead.
