All sounds from init except the vocal pad is a tweaked factory patch. 

What does the title/pic mean? 
I have had many dreams throughout my life about finding hidden doors that lead to magical places. The picture is of a abandoned stairway in a house I lived in for a few years in college. Leads to the backside of a refrigerator. I had dreams about that house, that there were secret floors burrowed back into the hillside, etc. And at one point years later I couldn't remember if this abandoned stairway really was there or I just dreamed it.

Anyway making this triggered another of that type of dream.

The Oneiric Ball (OSC #200)

Christmas Lullaby is my new piece of relaxing Christmas piano music, written to capture the quiet and warm feeling of the holiday season. The idea began with one simple melody — soft, repeating, almost like someone gently humming. I wanted to create a sound that feels familiar, the way old Christmas evenings feel: warm lights, calm voices, and a room slowly settling down.

To give the piece more depth, I added small harmonic twists. They are subtle changes that shift the mood for a moment and then return to calm again, just like stepping into the cold winter air and then coming back into the warmth of home.

This balance shaped Christmas Lullaby into a track that is peaceful, nostalgic, and personal. It’s not made to impress — it’s made to feel like home, and to bring a moment of calm to anyone looking for truly relaxing Christmas piano music.

Christmas Lullaby

Come Day, Go Day

The Arabic word Sumud means steadfastness, perseverance, impenetrable solidity. Sumud is the feeling of attachment to the land, it is the Spirit of resistance above all else.

I hope you like it.
