A cheesy pop song about caring for each others

Moods and Modes vol. V

Empathy

"Serendipity" marks the reprise of the "Moods and modes" project after a quite long pause. And fittingly it's a song about the happy surprises life throws at you when you're busy running the rat race.

It’s a rock song with a bit of '70s nostalgia, and an unnecessarily busy hammond organ.

Serendipity

This piece of downtempo instrumental music with a mouthful of title is taken from my album "Tableaux Electroniques" and I hope it will take you on a relaxing journey. Experience the joy of sailing away from the daily pains!

Tableaux Electroniques

The Joy of Sailing Away

An instrumental piece born out of a sample of "Simple Dreams", a 5 year old piece that was a favourite of my eldest daughter. She's now studying abroad and the serene atmosphere gets a bit of nostalgic tinge.

Blissful Serenade

A serene and folksy instrumental piece for the winter season. It's a remix of my earlier track Serenidad, but with a colder tinge. Happy Winter! 

Winterfolk

"Sheer Luck" is a laid-back jazz piece that flows effortlessly, much like the unexpected moments of fortune in life. 
A smooth trumpet lead dances over the warm foundation of a jazz trio—upright bass, electric piano, and drums—while a vibraphone adds a touch of shimmer. 
This is piece no. 31 of the Moods and Modes project, exploring the combination of a G major and F lydian scale in a relaxed jazz setting, where every note feels like an easy stroke of luck.

Sheer Luck

A gentle downtempo piano ballad that invites you to slow down and savor the moment. It should feel like a deep breath in the middle of a busy day. It's a piece that reminds us of the beauty of taking things slow, even when life doesn’t always allow it.

Lazy Days

A slow, downtempo remix of Glimmer of Hope, blending orchestral textures with chill beats and trip-hop flavor. It feels like moving through fog: you sense something just out of reach, something hidden beneath the surface. It’s calm, but full of emotion; sad, yet comforting. This is where a true journey begins; not with clarity, but with the subtle sense that something is waiting to be uncovered.

Beneath the Veil

This is a jazzy sketch for tenor sax, made with love in dorian mode and quartal harmony.

Door to Elsewhere

A gentle ballad for winds, strings and percussions

Gentle Rain

A gentle waltz for strings and piano with a swing improvised heart

Liaisons Dangereuses

“Summer Sky” is track number 18 of the “Moods and modes” project.

It’s an ambient track inspired by the stillness of the summer sky. Piano, guitar and a music box contribute to the atmosphere.

The melodies are based on the F Lydian scale and its overwordly serene mood.
