Driving through the night

Stochasticity

Soft Departure is a piece born from the need to preserve the inner fire in an environment where relational and professional dynamics tend to wear it down. It explores the gesture of quiet withdrawal, not dramatic, not reactive, simply the choice to stop investing where energy no longer flows. Built around a warm, enveloping bass played on my Crave, the track acts as a guiding thread through a soundscape that can be unstable at times. It evokes the act of staying present without being pulled in. A form of inner persistence in a noisy world. This is a work of conscious disengagement, a way of saying: “I’m still here, but I’m no longer playing the game.”  Soft Departure is also a tribute to those who choose to leave without noise, to step away without war, and to keep alive what doesn’t need to shout.

Sounds Reasonable, Doesn't It? Many Choose Not To Know

🌌Sensus🫀
Latin for feeling – is a journey into the subtle in-between where sound transforms into emotion. Layers of ambient textures intertwine with driving arpeggios and a pulsing sub-bass, while space and depth merge into a hypnotic whole. It captures both closeness and distance, a state between dream and reality. Music to be felt – not just heard.

Sensus

Equanimity

Music is art. Which makes musicians artists. Like any good artist, musicians practice and make sketches. 
When i was writing the lyrics and vocal melodies for Soluna, I played the basic chords on my piano and recorded it so i could sing along with vocal ideas. This was me sketching - my work in progress - the part the end user - that's you, by the way - isn't supposed to hear. 
I found an idea, expanded on it for the song, and sent my stems away to Sweden.  Soluna was finally released yesterday after a long delay. 
Then i listened back to my sketches as I often do after the final version is released and realised they sounded like a song in themselves. So, with a bit of tweaking and polish here and there, we have Soluna (A Prelude). I hope you enjoy. 

Soluna (A Prelude)


💧 RELAXING IN THE WATERFALL
The album’s centrepiece is pure immersion in cascading tranquillity.

Water textures blend with ambient drones to create a liquid lullaby.

Each splash and ripple is tuned to harmonise with your breath.

A sonic massage for the nervous system.

Ideal for aromatherapy sessions or spa environments.

The waterfall becomes a metaphor for emotional release.

Gentle swells mimic the rise and fall of natural flow.

A track that invites surrender and softness.

Let the sound wash away tension and restore clarity.

This is nature’s lullaby, rendered in 432Hz.

 Lyrics:
 OVER THINKING
 The world is such a different place these days
 But I think
 I think too much
 I’m just trying to get out of my mind at this point
 Should I let them own me with chemicals?
 Please, the system is so perpetual
 Once you let them in
 fear will literally kill you from the inside
 Yeah yeah
 I know I sound a little crazy
 And most people think I’m insane
 But if there’s only thing I do know
 It’s that
 My mind is not my brain

Traduction Française:
TROP PENSER
Le monde est tellement différent de nos jours 
Mais je pense que je pense trop 
J’essaie juste de sortir de mon esprit à ce stade 
Devrais-je les laisser me contrôler avec des produits chimiques ? 
S’il vous plaît, le système est tellement perpétuel 
Une fois que vous les laissez entrer, la peur vous tuera littéralement de l’intérieur 
Ouais, ouais, je sais, j’ai l’air un peu fou 
Et la plupart des gens pensent que je suis insane 
Mais s’il y a une seule chose que je sais 
C’est que mon esprit n’est pas mon cerveau
