We Don't Deserve Dogs (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack)

Blessings

My double single "Despedida / Viaje a Cusco" is now available on Spotify, Apple Music, and all the other usual places via the link in my bio and stories. This little project is dedicated to my parents and my sister, who I haven't seen in over two years. It is a reminder of what we have been through as well as a little thank you for all the sacrifices they have made for me to be here today. 

Despedida, the first piece, is about our last day together. It is explaining to my 9-year-old sister that I am not abandoning her and that I will do my best to see her soon, it is hugging my parents and grandparents for the last time until who knows when –because if there's something that these times have taught us is how uncertain life is– and it is crying silently on the line of security at the airport because I miss them already. 

Viaje a Cusco, the second piece, is about the farewell trip we made to Cusco before my departure to Spain. One of the activities we have always enjoyed doing as a family is traveling, and that last trip is the one I hold closer to my heart. I remember hiking together to magical places such as Machu Picchu or the Rainbow Mountain, finding an old French piano in a tiny, cozy restaurant, walking through the lovely streets of San Blas, riding the train to Aguas Calientes, visiting the Maras Salt Mines, and much more. 

This project features artwork by Sabatina Leccia, and it was recorded in Valencia by the incredible Ricardo Curto and released by @bigoandtwigetti. You will make this Peruvian boy really happy if you have a listen, share it around, and add it to your playlists. Enjoy! 🌞🌿

Upstream Dream

This track is part of the Open Path: https://soundcloud.com/ariad-music/sets/the-open-path-wip  
Around the piano composition, I recorded clarinet, percussions and sounds to bring some extra-life and also asked my friend @plex-auchta to play drums. He did an excellent job! I just found the file just recently on my old backup. All my sounds were recorded with my old Zoom H2 recorder, so it's quite noisy. Also, I did an automatic mastering because I'm incredibly too lazy to do so correctly. I should record in more decent way. We can say that was a mockup. Hope you can enjoy it. You can watch me playing this composition in the streets here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zeuBQ2pn5nI

Porya Hatami | Aaron Martin | Roberto Attanasio ​ - 'Sallaw' 
Label; Dronarivm 
Cat #.: DR-58
Format: CD (ltd. 150)/ Wooden box special edition CD (ltd. 50)/ DL
Release date: March 1st, 2019

“Sallaw” is a Kurdish word that expresses the passing of time, and on this new album the three sound artists have found a way of expressing that notion in music. Four tracks of slowly unfolding ambience make up this collection, each piece named after different months, again in Kurdish. The four sections represent the different seasons and their movement through time.

My 3 year romance with a 1927 Steinway M baby grand piano has come to an end, as I had to move house... This was one of the first pieces I wrote on it.  I was thinking of the joy of playing...

So pleased to share Promise / Sleepy Meadows, a new double single for solo piano by Finnish composer @julia_andersson

You can give this reflective pair of pieces a listen wherever you stream music: orcd.co/promise
 
"...like the winds of reassuring words, whispered in your ear by someone waiting patiently at your side..."
