Inspired by the halo short story "Soma the painter".

Soma the painter lives on a remote planet on the edge of the milky way galaxy called "Seaward". Only the elite live there. It's a very utopian setting. One day when Soma begins to paint with her jetbrush (basically an automated brush which paints what it sees) she notices something is amiss, a massive fleet which darkens the entire planet approaches and she realize that the planet is doomed.

Soma The Painter

Work Bounces

Aurora Autumnus

A journey through darkness, emotion, and self-discovery — this track fuses Arabic spoken word, jazz elements, and cinematic soundscapes to tell a hauntingly deep story. With mysterious voices, surreal imagery, and a whisper of light in the shadows, the piece captures the moment we stop searching outside and finally meet the “I” within. It’s not about who you are... but what’s inside you.

Found Me

Sometimes you can feel the Weight of Seconds...

The Weight of Seconds

HEARTS WIDE OPEN

Bluesy rocky guitar based 
number bemoaning the world situation  - yet again!

Down and Out

I started trying to mix new sounds on the synthesizer, while the sun was shining, the wind was blowing softly, and this melody and this music came into play. I wanted something cheerful.....

Dancing in the Sun

C'est une chanson que j'ai composé en 2009 et pour laquelle je me suis enfin décidé à la mettre en forme et à la publier.

For this summerly August moon Annie (https://soundcloud.com/annie-dieu-le-veut) wrote some lovely lyrics, partly meant to be sung, partly to be narrated (the latter is done by herself). I have the pleasure to set all that to music and arrangements. Enjoy ...
