Saturnine (Solo Piano)

I composed this song around 2007 at 15 years old and recorded it a year or two later. It was a rough time. I used to daydream about someone coming to rescue me. I didn't know how to drive yet, but I would imagine myself disappearing into the night and driving far, far away.

Traveling circles is not as fun as it may seem in a desert of dreams.

I am a classically trained mezzo soprano and earned my Bachelor of Music degree with a concentration in voice. I have been writing music since I was 9 years old. I have perfect pitch and color-sound synesthesia that makes me experience music viscerally in my body. Music is the language of my soul.
