📝 Description
"Lingering Light in Winter’s Embrace" is a chamber composition for eight instruments, deeply rooted in the expressive tradition of the Russian musical school, profoundly inspired by the legacies of Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky and Georgy Sviridov. The piece seeks to capture the ephemeral beauty of memory, weaving an atmosphere of tender melancholy and quiet contemplation, as if illuminated by the delicate glow of a winter landscape.

At its heart lies the theme of nostalgia — a longing for moments lost, expressed through a lyrical dialogue between the strings (first and second violins, viola, cello, and double bass) and the poignant timbre of the winds (flute, oboe, and clarinet). The strings evoke heartfelt emotions, whispering tales of cherished recollections, while the winds add a breath of airy lightness and a subtle shimmer of hope. The double bass provides a resonant foundation, grounding the composition in the timeless embrace of the natural world.

This work transcends a specific narrative, instead inviting listeners on an emotional journey — a meditation on the fleeting nature of time, the enduring power of the human spirit, and the universal search for harmony. "Lingering Light in Winter’s Embrace" is a sonic painting, a tapestry of sound designed to stir the soul and awaken the imagination. It’s a testament to the beauty found within stillness, and a celebration of the delicate balance between joy and sorrow.

Lingering Light in Winter’s Embrace

Just a little magical tale, set to @APi_ZZ's dreamy music, about a shamanic journey into the Temple of the Stars, aka the Glastonbury Zodiac, on the Somerset Levels.

Well of Stars

Standing On Top Of A Shadow by Siegfried Jünger is a darkly percussive piece that unfolds with a relentless, shifting ostinato built from discordant, distorted synth textures. Taken from his sixth album Order 8, the track explores tension through repetition and sonic abrasion, conjuring a sense of shadowy movement and unresolved energy. It’s electronic music at its most atmospheric and unsettling—perfect for late-night listening or introspective drift.
