When you're not fine, but you feel that everything's gonna get better and it all shall pass.

Shadows

Continuation of 'Shadows'. 

Someday we can hopefully come back to normal life. 

Fuck war.

When the Dust Settles

When the dust settles

No way back

Something different from the usual post rock sadness: folky sadness yay! Julie recorded the flute part that this song was missing for a couple of years waiting in the archive. Now it's finally complete.

Also, the song art - Julie's own beautiful samoyed named Fluke Winterball who's the goodest boi(google it if you want to 'awww').

Friðsæll Ferðamaður (feat Julie O)

Gravitational waves are cosmic ripples in space and time that are caused by some of the most violent and energetic processes in the Universe, like supernovas, merging black holes, and colliding neutron stars — city-size stellar objects with a mass about 1.4 times that of the Sun.

Feelings we'll never share

Stories We'll Never Tell

Never was a fan of hope, but when writing this piece, it felt somewhat... natural. Maybe it's the uncertain time we live in or maybe it's me getting older, but nevertheless, I have hope. I wish you find it too in whichever aspect of your life that seems to lack it at the moment. 

Piece!

Hope

It's sad to see the close ones leave, especially those that are better than us. People seek solace in many different things (drugs, religion, etc), yet I've always found comfort in thinking that whatever lies on the other side must be better than where we are now.

A Better Place

Perhaps the most important and significant speech made by any human being. If you feel stressed, tired, weighed down by the everyday problems, have a listen and process that. 

My rendition of the iconic Sagan's reflection on the Pale Blue Dot photo.

Was a tad late for the anniversary of the Pale Blue Dot (February 14, 1990), but my non-existent listeners will forgive me, I'm sure :)

PS. the cover art is 'Cassini's Blue dot' 

PPS. NASA, don't sue me please.

Pale Blue Dot

3 years ago I wrote this song back when I was using Garage Band and an acoustic guitar with effects on top (yikes). As I ran into creative slump I decided to remaster that song with proper guitar, DAW and plugins. Was it worth it? We'll see.

P.S. 'Time' in the title is a reference to Hans Zimmer's 'Time' theme from 'Inception'. I liked it so much I had to borrow chord progression from it and a few melodic references. 
Thank you for inspiration, Hans!

Time (Well) Wasted

Unknown horizons
Peer through the mist and we'll be
Shattered, but alive

Let Go

Light for my father
I fought hard to return home
Now I am alone

Fading Light

A journey awaits
A welcome escape from all
Replace what was lost

Escape

Recently, I visited Nazaré, Portugal for a quick vacay, little did I know how therapeutic it would be that would make me write this song, trying to embody how I felt in that moment. 

Standing on the cliffs, watching the waves crash with an almost divine intensity, I felt something click. That moment became the seed of this song. Its calm and chaos, its beauty and danger, its invitation and warning. 'Nazaré' is about that paradox—how something can hold peace and power in the same breath.

Nazaré

First song I ever finished and recorded fully.
