Soup To Nuts w/ John Gomez & Domenico Lancelloti  201123

With Moments Between, Amsterdam-based producer Pillek invites you into the quiet pulse that lives between days, seasons, and emotions — those fleeting fragments of time that slip past before you can name them. It’s the follow-up to his 2024 debut Birth, and a bold step forward: warmer, poppier, and more intricate, yet unmistakably Pillek.

Across ten tracks, Moments Between feels like a single, flowing breath — from the radiant simplicity of Grateful Vibes and the cinematic escapism of Holiday, to the tender pulse of Two Souls Apart and Happy Days. The record drifts effortlessly between chillout, electro-pop, and trip-hop, merging acoustic warmth with digital finesse.

Every song captures a snapshot of presence: Spring Is Here beams with sunlight after months of grey; Drift Mode lets you float without direction; Private Groove slips into jazzy nocturnal cool; and Summer’s Calling shimmers with tropical ease. By the time Shadows in Motion fades into Fading Lines, you’ve been taken somewhere both familiar and unplaceable — that soft blur where memory meets melody.

Built with the help of friends, vocalists, and instrumentalists, Moments Between is a deeply human record made with electronic tools — intimate, effortless, and alive.

☀️ Smooth rhythms. 🌙 Cinematic glow. 💫 Real emotion in an artificial age.
This is Moments Between — the sound of life as it happens.

Pillek - Fading Lines

A descent through silence and sorrow.
“We Didn’t Know” blends Persian Homāyūn lament with industrial ritual; grief that rises, burns, and dissolves into air.
Written and performed as a dirge for the things we lost, and the truths we can’t forget.

Lyrics — We Didn’t Know

(Persian + English translation)

[Verse 1]
امشب، نفسِ شهر کوتاه است،
چراغِ پنجره‌ها خالی‌ست.
دستم به هیچ‌جا نمی‌رسد،
دلم به هیچ‌کس.
Tonight, the city breathes in half,
its windows hollowed out by dark.
My hands reach nowhere,
my heart — to no one.

[Chorus]
نمی‌دانم، نمی‌دانیم—
که از کجا شکستیم.
نمی‌دانم، نمی‌دانیم—
چقدر از خود گذشتیم.
We didn’t know, we never knew —
where the fracture began.
We didn’t know, we never knew —
how much of us was spent.

[Verse 2]
نامِ تو از لبِم نیفتاد،
اما صدا نداشت.
چشمم به راهِ فردا ماند،
فردا، خدا نداشت.
Your name never left my lips,
but it had no sound.
My eyes waited for tomorrow,
but tomorrow had no god.

[Chorus]
نمی‌دانم، نمی‌دانیم—
کجای راه کم بود.
نمی‌دانم، نمی‌دانیم—
که درد، چرا قدم بود.
We didn’t know, we never knew —
what part of the road went missing.
We didn’t know, we never knew —
why pain kept walking with us.

[Bridge]
آیینه رو به آیینه،
دنیا پر از «من و تو» شد.
اما میانِ این همه،
آن‌کس که بود—نشد.
Mirror facing mirror,
a world of you and me.
But somewhere in between —
who we were, ceased to be.

[Final Chorus]
نمی‌دانم، نمی‌دانیم—
چه مرثیه بگوییم.
نمی‌دانم، نمی‌دانیم—
اگر نمانْد، چه شویم.
We didn’t know, we never knew —
what elegy to speak.
We didn’t know, we never knew —
who we’d become if nothing remained.

We didn't know
