Great symphonic development and instrumentation. I like the triptychon like structure of the piece with its dramatic development in the last part.

Hello my dear friends! With great pleasure I’d like to present to you my first collaboration with Franck C Production (aka Franck Charles) — a wonderfully talented composer and musician. You can listen to Franck’s incredibly beautiful cinematic and orchestral music here: @franck-charles-676082884

«So Enjoy Every Moment» is our collaborative work based on my existing solo piano piece. I am deeply grateful to Franck for adding so much heavenly beauty, magnificence and brilliance to my original composition! It has been a great honour and joy to collaborate with Franck.

Thank you so much for listening to this music, and we genuinely hope that you will enjoy it!

So Enjoy Every Moment (Ft. Franck Charles)

This is another one elegetic dark piece from me. My inspiration was a very bad incident in Greece, in Τέμπη, where two trains hit each other and many people died. This incident was a wound in the heart of the Greek people who are protesting against government incapability for many years. I wish you safe and beautiful journeys!

A Breath

There and Back Again: Part One

The journey began at dawn, the father and daughter standing side by side, gazing at the towering mountains ahead. Snow-capped peaks stretched endlessly into the sky, their path winding through rugged trails and shadowed ravines. She clutched a satchel filled with tokens of home, while he adjusted the straps of his pack.

“Are you afraid?” he asked.

She shook her head. “No. Are you?”

He chuckled. “A little.”

Days passed in a rhythm of trudging steps and whispered stories. She marveled at soaring eagles and winding rivers below, while he spoke of distant lands—golden temples, ancient forests, markets brimming with spices. At night, they traced constellations, writing their own story in the stars.

Then, one morning, they crested the final ridge. Below them stretched a vast valley, lush and untouched, shimmering with warmth and rich with the scent of an ancient world.

Her father placed a steady hand on her shoulder. “We have arrived.”

“What do you think is waiting for us?” she asked.

He smiled. “Only what we are brave enough to find.”

They took their first steps downward. Their journey had only just begun.

There and Back Again: Part Two

The valley stretched before them, shrouded in mist, the towering cliffs behind them now silent sentinels. Gnarled trees loomed on either side, their twisted branches reaching like skeletal fingers. The air was thick with whispers, rustling through the tangled undergrowth.

The girl clutched her father’s hand. “It feels... wrong.”

He squeezed gently. “Stay close. Fear is loud, but we don’t have to listen.”

Shapes stirred in the darkness, glowing eyes flickering between the trees. Strange calls echoed through the valley. The girl pressed against him. “Are they watching us?”

“Perhaps. But watching isn’t attacking.”

The path narrowed, tangled with vines and roots. A low growl rumbled nearby. She froze.

“You are brave,” he whispered, draping his cloak around her. “Fear does not own you.”

Something scurried past. She stifled a gasp. “What if we don’t make it?”

His smile was small but warm. “We will. Together.”

They pressed on, deeper into the valley, where the darkness breathed and the unknown lay waiting.

There and Back Again: Part Three

The trail twisted through the valley, the shadows thinning as they pressed forward. Then, as they rounded a bend, the mist began to lift. The girl gasped, gripping her father’s arm.

Before them, rising beyond the clouds, stood a city of light. Spires of crystal and gold pierced the heavens, towers shimmering as if woven from the sun itself. The air was filled with music—mighty chords echoing through the valley, a choir of voices vast and powerful, swelling like a tide.

The girl’s breath hitched. “It’s beautiful…”

Her father stood silent, awestruck. The mist curled away, revealing bridges arched over flowing rivers, terraces brimming with strange and vibrant flora. Domes of silver and glass reflected the sky, and banners in unknown symbols fluttered in the wind.

“Where are we?” she asked, eyes wide.

“A place beyond dreams,” he murmured. “And we are its guests.”

They stepped forward, the weight of their journey fading as the music carried them toward the unknown.

Pure focusless ambient. The greatest challenge is to actually stop the production somewhere, these tracks can get unhealthy long. But I like it. You can compose these zoned out with eyes closed, completely immersed into it.

Lost In A minor

Bach's Composition from the Afterlife

Here is a little interlude that could be described as more of a jingle really. I was just experimenting with the keyboard functions, as you do. I thought, 'that sound is a bit out of my comfort zone.' I just hope the melody justifies it. But more than that, I hope you enjoy the track.

Interlude No. 02

The track now including percussion by my Latin friend Sergio Párraga, thanks Sergio : )

A Higher Path - (Even Higher with Sergio)

A cover of a song by Skin from skunk anansie - slowed it down dropped the key and stripped it back …think it sounds like a day dream 😴 

Purple washes over me
Seeping through my open seams
I'm stained all over
You pretend we started again
Waiting for me to say when
But I say purple
She won't go
Where I
I would go for you
I'd curse my heart
For you
Silence makes a girl talk fast
Speeding but I'm gonna crash
And burn for love's sake
Duty keeps a lover loyal
But is it really worth the spoils
When I dream purple
She won't go
Where I
I would go for you
I'd curse my heart
She won't go
Where I
I would go for you
I'd curse my heart
For you
She won't go
Where I
I would go for you
I curse my heart
For you
For you
For you
