Equinae
A world-repetitive, cinematic instrumental built entirely from acoustic strings: three ronrocos, one ukulele, and two Martin guitars, wrapped in subtle orchestral textures and infra-bass  pulse.

🎵 When Time Held Its Breath — Lev Hordynskyi

A breathless pause between dusk and dawn.
A fleeting instant where memory blurs into dream.
A moment outside of time — weightless, quiet, infinite.

“When Time Held Its Breath” is a meditative ambient journey shaped by gentle piano and spacious, reverberating guitar layers. Each note carries a sense of longing, drifting through a fog of introspection and calm. The composition invites you into a soundscape of emotional stillness — a place to simply be.

Lev Hordynskyi crafts this piece with minimalist precision, allowing silence and resonance to speak as clearly as melody. The piano whispers like distant thoughts, while ambient guitar textures move slowly, like light filtering through a stormy sky.

Whether you're seeking a companion for solitude, reflection, creative flow, or a moment of emotional release, this track holds space for your inner world — untouched, unhurried, and fully present.


When Time Held Its Breath

“Acorta al tiempo breve la esperanza larga. 
Mientras hablamos, se habrá fugado el tiempo celoso. 
Abraza el día y dale el mínimo crédito al futuro.” (Horacio)

"Cut short long hopes.
While we speak, jealous time will have fled.
Embrace the day and give the future the least credit." (Horacio)

“The Letter” is a quiet confession set to music — a message never spoken, unfolding note by note.
This piece carries the weight of unsent words, the pause before truth, the trembling breath of someone choosing silence over regret.
Let it read you as much as you listen to it.

The Letter

My passion from a very young age has been composing music on the piano as an amateur.

http://dedeland.com/daniel-diaz-bio/


In some words:
Composer, arranger, producer, multi-instrumentalist. Born in Argentina,
I studied music in Buenos Aires, New York, Boston, Los Angeles and Paris.

For 20 years, I developed an important career as a session and backing musician in Argentina and Europe, playing, among other instruments, the bass, touring and recording with many jazz, rock, fusion, world, Latin and tango bands.

At the same time, I worked as an arranger, producer and musical director with many projects and artists in the USA, Argentina and Europe.

From 1992 to 1997, I performed my compositions live with my own band in Buenos Aires and began a solo recording career with the worldwide release of my first album "The Years Alone" on the North American label Green Linnet/Xenophile. On this album I arranged and performed 11 of my songs written between 1986 and 1993. I played most of the instruments, but included guest appearances by some great South American players.

My recording career continued with "Segundo Ciclo" (1997), released worldwide by Timeless Records, and 12 more albums released between 2000 and 2016.

Currently, I work as an on-demand film/TV composer while continuing to play live and produce.

Lev Hordynskyi is a composer and music producer specializing in orchestral, epic, and trailer music filled with emotion, drama, and cinematic depth.

He also creates in the worlds of Future Garage, Chill Electronic, Ambient, and Downtempo, blending atmospheric electronic textures with the storytelling power of orchestral sound.
His music is a journey through misty streets, distant galaxies, magical worlds, and the emotional landscapes of the human soul.

Lev’s style combines melancholy, warmth, reflection, and hope, turning every track into a unique and unforgettable experience.

Graphic artist, writer, and just a budding musician.

Playing piano is my daily therapy against stress. That also repels the rodents that attempt to squat my attic in winter !

As an insomniac, I mainly play at night. Each improvisation is like a snapshot of my mood and state of mind of the instant.

I record almost everything I play. From time to time one of these improvisations inspires me enough, and I use it as a basis for a composition.

Disclaimer : I deny any responsibility in case of ear bleeds !


Thank you for passing by here and listening to my clumsy experimental works !

Please, don't blame my piano teacher, I had none!
