Happy to finally publish this piece I was commissioned. It is written for an imaginative and philosophical blog project that calls for authors and contributors:

We who dwell between the Realms have created a blog for writings which foster open, modest, and curious activity. The writings are in themselves mere openings into ‘between realms’, where new and wonderful ideas might come to being. As such, we want to acknowledge references of all fields which enlarge our thinking. That is why we welcome you, whoever you are, to animate our project.                           
We accept not only writings (in Finnish or in English or in Japanese), but also any creative expressions that embody modesty, openness and curiosity, which we call “ignorant wisdom”. Themes we have envisioned for our project are Space, Multidimensional well-being, Holistic view of (human) beings, and Digitalization and Artificial Intelligence, but we also accept expressions outside of these themes. We welcome any expressions our openings might inspire.

To repeat, please do contact us if you have any questions regarding our project or if you in any way want to help animate our project.

Imaginations between Realms

ROMANTIC - Pianotuner of Earthquakes (DEMO)

A very old recording of me doodling on a guitar with some strings I recorded with my old Yamaha

But I Don't Want to Wake Up

Another old recording, definitely influenced by Mike Oldfield. Lots of sampling, but also mainly recorded manually by synthesizer and guitar

Wish I Was Your Martyr

Built around fifths and effects, featuring some synth flute

Midnight Train

Wrote this and another track in a day, decided it was more interesting than going to a theory class. Named after a character in Haruki Murakami's "Norwegian Wood". I would love to love reading more than I do. But when I actually finish a story like this, it links with everything I'm trying to do musically at the moment.
