A story and colors of reaching brighter days after crossing the desert.
What genre is this ? I don't know.
A blend of electro bass, jungle textures, fusion latin whatever rythms, jazz colors piano, some urban 80's synths, some kettledrum with an arabic tone, some balafon and bells I love working with to bring a touch of island life.

Whatever it is, I am happy to share it with you. 
Help me find words if you have some ;)

Brighter Days

A door that closes one last time, a flight, a distance with no bridge. 
Farewell my belle. The "Farewell bells" toll for us.

First track released under the name Qalva.
The "Farewell Bells" take you on a slow and distant journey wrapped in cotton clouds and damped in wailing synths.
It ain't funny, I know, but hey, this is life ;)

Farewell Bells

A longboard surf / life analogy.
Things change. Ups and downs. Highs and lows.
Though movement in itself is not progress, reaching a peak state requires movement.
Finding comfort in discomfort and moving to stay balance seem to be keys.
Best is to do it with grace.

Noserider

Inspired by freeride snowboarding with friends.
Ups and downs, speed lines, back country slopes, smoothier curves and puff waves.

Miss Expressova is a friend of mine.

We met on Vzetlania dancefloor in Canggu (now Dez0ner) and spent countless hours dancing together behind the stage.

As we were dancing non stop some night - sober - she got me a Bali coffee. I drink a lot of coffee but oh my, this caffein kick !!!

This 8" track and its rolling bass never seem to end, like a proper Canggu night. 

Miss Expressova prefers water and coffee to G&T and she's unstoppable.
That's why I named her this way.

This track is a tribute to her.

Miss Expressova

We had a new little pup housemate for a few weeks.
As she started familiarising with people and the house, she ate some poison. In 24h she was gone.
Her name was Miego.
