77 (2020), is the second movement of For Ash (2019-21), a short, three-movement work for solo piano dedicated to my friend, Ash Mistry. In contrast to some of my earlier piano music, there is greater focus on melodic design and variations in harmonic voicing and less on structural symmetry, balancing lyrical and systematic aspects. Each of the three movements explores a melodic line in two parallel voices, mostly in intervals of a third in the first movement and fourths in the other two.

On the nature of daylight

On the Nature of Daylight (Piano Version)

Une chanson née du silence après la chute. Voix fragile, piano discret, douleur contenue. “Below the Silence” explore ce qu’il reste quand l’amour s’effondre et que chaque mot devient un poids. Une confession à voix basse, quelque part entre l’ombre et l’espoir. 

Mon premier morceau.

A song born from silence after the collapse. Fragile voice, minimal piano, restrained pain. “Below the Silence” explores what remains when love falls apart and every word carries weight. A whispered confession, between shadow and hope. 

My first song.

French Translation:

[Couplet 1]
Tu as arraché le mensonge dans lequel je vivais.
Et tout… s’est effondré.
Maintenant je me tiens, là…
Dans les ruines de mon propre enfer.
Et j’ai honte.
Honte de ne jamais avoir vu ses flammes.

[Couplet 2]
J’ai sombré trop lentement pour voir venir.
Trop engourdi pour ressentir… juste en train de disparaître.
Puis je me suis vu…
Et j’ai ressenti la haine.
Pour ce que j’étais.
Pour ce que vous avez subi.

[Refrain]
Si je te perds…
Je disparais dans le noir.
La lumière s’éteint — je disparais.
Tu es la drogue sous ma peau.
La voix que j’entends… quand tout est parti.
Je saignerai pour chaque faute que j’ai commise.
Je me décomposerai dans ce qui reste encore.
Chaque souffle épelle encore ton nom.
Plus de rêves.
Juste une mort silencieuse.

[Couplet 3]
Tes yeux ne parlent plus.
L’amour est parti, je disparais.
Mais je trouverai un moyen…
D’atteindre ton cœur
Et de souffler une étincelle…
Sur ta confiance en morceaux.

[Épilogue]
Si tu peux encore m’entendre…
Les mots sont venus. Maintenant.
Je ne demanderai pas de pitié.
Je ne supplierai pas pour le passé.
J’ai tout détruit.
S’il reste une seule braise en toi…
Je donnerai mon sang pour qu’elle s’enflamme.
Pour trouver un nouveau chemin pour nous.
Même si ça doit me tuer.
Je ne suis plus celui que j’étais…
Il est mort le jour où j’ai perdu ton cœur.
Mais je suis encore à toi —
si tu veux encore de moi.

Lyrics:

You ripped away the lie I lived.
And everything… came crashing down.
Now I stand…
In the wreck of my own hell.
And I’m ashamed.
Ashamed I never saw the flames.

I sank too slow to see it coming.
Too numb to feel… just fading out.
Then I saw myself…
And felt the hate.
For what I was.
For what you faced.

If I lose you…
I fade to black.
The light goes out — I disappear.
You're the drug under my skin.
The voice I hear… when all is gone.
I'll bleed through every fault I made.
I'll decay inside what still remains.
Every breath still spells your name.
No more dreams.
Just quiet death.

Your eyes don’t speak anymore.
The love is gone.
And I… fade away.
But I’ll find a way…
To reach your heart.
And breathe a spark…
On your trust in shards.

If you can still hear me…
The words came. Now.
I won’t ask for mercy.
I won’t beg for the past.
I shattered it all.
If there’s a single ember left in you…
I’ll give my blood to make it flame.
To find a new way for us.
Even if it kills me.
I’m not who I was…
He died the day I lost your heart.
But I’m still yours —
if you still want me.

Below The Silence [Dark Piano / Emotional Metal]

A delicate piano phrase intertwines with the gentle resonance of strings, depicting a serene scene where subtle sorrow and faint hope coexist. The poetic, wavering soundscape stands as a symbolic piece that embodies the world of Laumin.

להתגבר על יום האסון

Piano & Strings-based Instrumental "Unight" is an instrumental piece by Laumin that explores the ambiguous moments of a night leaning into dawn. Through a delicate interplay of piano and strings, the music gently embraces the sense of something ending while quietly beginning anew. Like night softly leaning into morning, it reflects a fleeting, tender transition in sound.

Fogo Corredor" is a hypnotic exploration of minimalist soundscapes, blending ambient textures with post-classical and electronic influences. Inspired by the works of Jóhann Jóhannsson, Sunn O))), and Vektroid, the track evolves around a central motif that morphs through layered arrangements—where acoustic introspection meets digital experimentation. Originally released in 2024, the composition was later expanded into a video art piece supported by Brazil’s Lei Paulo Gustavo, further deepening its meditative narrative. A gateway into Smhir’s forthcoming genre-defying album, arriving 2025.

Released under the iiP moniker, ‘SEN’ is the latest work by sound designer Setsuya KUROTAKI - a three-part composition shaped by field recordings, live instrumentation, and finely calibrated programming.

Constructed as a musical self-dialogue involving his alter-egos "Sebastian Kline" and "Nicolie Binara", the work examines the fluidity of sound materials and the emergence of emotion through the conceptual frames of “Sequence,” “Environment,” and “Neutral.”

Balancing restraint and organic layering, it can be read as a subtle disturbance of the boundary between interiority and environment.

1 Fearless Wish

Jean-Michel Blais - amour (for a love that withstands time)

The Hunt of Wolves is my most experimental and electronic work to date — a dark, intimate score composed for the theater play by Becca Hoback and Mihail Bonev.

Set in a post-Soviet dystopia, the music explores surveillance, fear, submission, and resistance through fractured melodies, ambient textures, and dissonant electronic landscapes. Each track echoes the emotional shifts of a man trapped under the gaze of invisible eyes, hunted not by beasts — but by systems.

This is not background music. It is a sonic stage.
A poetic descent into control, chaos, and what remains of the self.

The Administration

deep sky after goodbye

'Delicate Tranquility' is a journey into profound peace and deep sonic space.

Built on sweeping ambient pads and subtle, modulated textures, this track is the perfect score for contemplation, focus, or deep relaxation. A cinematic chillout experience designed to clear the mind.

Delicate Tranquility [Melodic Ambient / Deep Chillout]

“Nuevo Sonindo” is Baranku’s fusion of neoclassical romanticism with a light, organic reggaeton feel — timeless melody over a warm, human pulse.
Built from footstomps, handclaps, tambourine, and a subtle dembow-leaning rhythm, the track blends global movement with an intimate chamber-orchestra palette: close-mic’d strings, soft female vocal humming, and understated woodwinds.

Live synth flourishes add a quiet futurism, creating a sound that feels handcrafted, elegant, and modern — classical language reshaped through contemporary rhythm.

Sonically, it sits in the same innovative space as Rosalía’s newest album — where acoustic intimacy, organic percussion, and global influences intersect with experimental, high-art aesthetics.
Not imitating — but participating in the same movement toward raw, tactile, globally-aware, rhythm-forward classical fusion.

“Nuevo Sonindo” es la fusión de Baranku entre el romanticismo neoclásico y una sensación ligera y orgánica de reggaetón, con una melodía atemporal sobre un pulso cálido y humano.
Construido a partir de pisadas, palmadas, pandereta y un ritmo sutil con inclinación al dembow, el tema une el movimiento global con una paleta de orquesta de cámara íntima: cuerdas captadas de cerca, suaves murmullos vocales femeninos y maderas discretas.

Los toques de sintetizador en vivo añaden un futurismo silencioso, creando un sonido artesanal, elegante y moderno — un lenguaje clásico reformado a través del ritmo contemporáneo.

En lo sonoro, habita el mismo espacio innovador que el nuevo álbum de Rosalía — donde la intimidad acústica, la percusión orgánica y las influencias globales se cruzan con una estética experimental y de alta cultura.
No imita, sino que participa en el mismo movimiento hacia una fusión clásica cruda, táctil, global y orientada al ritmo.

Para fans de: la producción orgánica-vanguardista de Rosalía, las bandas sonoras híbridas de Ludwig Göransson, el minimalismo terrenal de Gustavo Santaolalla, las texturas camerísticas de Woodkid y los elementos rítmicos más suaves del reggaetón moderno.

Bosques de mi Mente is the moniker of Spanish composer Ignacio Nieto Carvajal, a minimalist composer of contemporary and cinematic music. He launched the project in 2007 in Spain, focusing on evocative, nostalgic soundscapes that explore the tension between noise and silence, memory and present reality.

Bosques de mi Mente blends piano, strings, found sounds, and electronic textures to craft music that pushes the boundaries of ambient, cinematic, and experimental genres. His compositions often evoke childhood memories and emotional landscapes, creating a fragile balance between chaos and calm . Several of his works are entirely improvised, captured in single takes to preserve their raw intimacy.

His compositions have been featured in films and theater productions, and performed internationally at festivals such as ROJO/Nova in São Paulo and events across Iceland and Brazil. His work has also been recognized with awards for best soundtrack in both stage and film contexts..

Eliott Leger is based on Île de Sein, an island of Western Brittany where he lives and writes.

Instrumental project born from silence and decay. Between fragile piano and haunting textures, each track speaks what can’t be said. Below the Silence and No Way For Redemption are fragments left behind — for those who understand.

​
In early childhood, I was awakened to music when I heard the lion dance music at a neighborhood Japanese traditional festival, and began playing toy drums.
​
I was a member of the Brass Band Club from 4th to 6th grade in elementary school, where I played percussion, snare, and bass drums.  I started playing the drum set in a rock band when I was a high school student and continued to play mostly rock music in bands around the Tokyo and Osaka area during my college years in Japan.
 
In 2005, I moved to the Spokane Washington in the U.S. and enrolled in the music department at Whitworth College, where I studied jazz drums, percussion, and a wide range of music, including classical music.  In addition to drumming, I began to compose and play the piano.  My instructors were Brent Edstrom, Paul Raymond, Rick Westrick, Dan Cox, and Todd Strait.  From 2006 to 2008, I performed as a drummer with the campus bands at the Lionel Hampton Jazz Festival at the University of Idaho. I graduated as cum laude.
 
My musical influences include jazz, classical, rock, electronica, and club music.  The drummers Elvin Jones, Tony Williams, Jack DeJohnette, John Bonham, and Brian Blade have influenced me tremendously. 
 
After returning to Japan in 2008, I began composing and improvising music with piano and drums.  Two of my compositions have been aired on Ryuichi Sakamoto's radio program, "RADIO SAKAMOTO". In 2012, I released my 1st solo EP "flow".
 
In 2014, I formed the band Black Mountain Conception with a guitarist Ryo Okada. In 2016, I released my 1st solo album "journey".
 
In 2021, I participated in the creation of music for dancer/choreographer Yu Shimomura's dance piece “Defection for beginners: The country of VOICE” and contributed to the new album "Nova Naturo" by internationally active musician and sound artist Haco.  Recently, I remastered and re-released my EP "flow" which was originally released in 2012.
 
In addition to that mentioned above, I have consistently performed in many live concerts at jazz clubs and other venues.
 
I currently live in my hometown, Ako-city, Hyogo Prefecture, where I continue my musical activities.
