North. Just go north.
Bring a new little life
when the time comes.

North. Just go north.
When the time comes
making sure life begins
              in the cove.

A first track out in many years, Libélula 1982 is a reflection about living in the age of anxiety (dixit Lennie Bernstein).

Libélula 1982

Winter's Morning is a song composed in our old upright piano by my son Aden when he was 15, inspired by the music from his favorite games. Arranged and produced by me, my lovely wife gave the song its name (it was actually her Christmas present from the both of us!). Hope you love the mix of contemplative and meditative moods with a bit of pop rock. Enjoy!

Insurrection 21 1 6 is a soundscape composed in disgusted reaction to the historical moments of January 6, 2021 in Washington DC. May the root causes of such barbaric riots be eradicated forever. Peace.

Insurrection 21 1 6

This short solo piano comes from a series of musical ideas I sketched down decades ago after I received the saddest news from Caracas, a few weeks after I moved to the US: a kid in my old neighborhood committed suicide.  He was the sweetest 11-year old, unfortunately growing up in an unforgiving environment.
