Time has Come

As You Asked is not a piece about certainty, but about trust — the kind that is born when two souls meet through creation. As if the piano itself understood the question and, without hesitation, simply replied: as you asked.
It was born from an exchange between Francesco Adornetto and Jessica Brown Bains, from a simple phrase that holds an entire intention: to offer something genuine, without hesitation. Each note is a wordless reply, a musical gesture that doesn’t aim to explain, but simply to be — like lifelong friends — just as requested, just as felt.
Within the flow of the composition, there is a delicate balance between listening and revealing. The higher phrases — quick and fleeting — feel like whispered thoughts, while the deep and steady foundation tells of a profound intimacy, one that reveals itself only to those who know how to ask sincerely.

As You Asked

LYRICS

When you realize there's always tomorrow
When you realize you can change the routine
When you realize there's no one like you
Then you 
Can finally see
Then you 
Can finally breathe

This whole world is a stage
That's what they say
But maybe it's because we've learned how to play
I like the grace of you
I like the sound of you
I like the looks of you
I like your attitude

Grind it out
Grind it out
Grind it out
no one like you

Grind it out
Grind it out
Grind it out
no one like you

When you realize there's always tomorrow
When you realize you can always believe
When you realize there's no one like you
Then you 
Can finally see
Then you 
Can finally breathe

This whole world is a stage
That's what they say
But maybe it's because we've learned how to play
I like the grace of you
I like the sound of you
I like the looks of you
I like your attitude

Grind it out
Grind it out
Grind it out
no one like you

Grind it out
Grind it out
Grind it out
no one like you

(Lyrics and title have been changed - they worried me and I had a few comments from others that are wiser than me about how it made them feel and I found it best to put a more positive spin on this track)

Music written by me several years ago, a new reimagined version in the traditions of Argentine tango.

Tango on the Edge of the Abyss (Argentine Tango)

"How many crossroads are you allowed to have in life? I seem to have a lot of crossroads. I think maybe I crossed back across the same road too often." -- Queen Latifah

When I was younger, I imagined life would present a few major, yet basic crossroads. Of course, there have been many crossroads encountered since then…Life is filled with countless decisions and changes.  Some crossroads are obvious; others, not so much, and this can produce some significant stress until a choice has been made. Even after making a decision, doubt can linger: Was it the right path? Of course, only time will tell, but all crossroads, taken or missed, can still provide us with valuable life lessons and personal growth. 

This composition offers a glimpse into the crossroads we encounter in our lives, and the inner turmoil that may accompany the decision-making process.  As the piece nears the end, a very subtle change signals a decision and movement toward resolution.

Crossroads

"Depth Over Ease" is a quiet rebellion against the temptation of simplicity.
This piece chooses introspection over decoration, silence over noise, emotion over polish.
Every phrase reaches inward, unfolding like a secret remembered rather than recited.
It's a piece for those who listen with their whole self — not for ease, but for resonance.

Close your eyes. Breathe with the tempo. Let it take you deeper than comfort.

Depth Over Ease Francesco Adornetto & Francess Harris

Angel time 3 avec Steph OUNA Guitares

Kintsugi is an art form that embodies the philosophy of wabi-sabi which values the beauty of imperfection and transience. Kintsugi also serves as a metaphor for embracing our flaws and imperfections in life seeing them as a source of strength and beauty and finding resilience in the face of adversity.

I tell my stories through my own composed (and improvised) instrumental guitar music, using a combination of acoustic guitars, sometimes supported by orchestral instruments. Some have described my music as meditative, relaxing, and introspective, with a touch of melancholia and a distinctly Spanish flair.
