''When I sit down in front of my old upright piano, I can always feel the lights and winds of the earth breathing into me, and I am thankful for the life that surrounds me. This is a small piece to cherish the cycle of nature and my place in it.'' - @akirakosemura

Akira Kosemura - Day's Eye

''Embers is an introspective piano piece about the sparks that ignite a new beginning. The piece explores the interplay of uncertainty and persistence, using dynamic contrasts and imaginative harmonies to create a melancholic yet uplifting soundscape. The vibe is reflective and meditative, with a surface that undulates like waves.'' - @juliagjertsen

Embers

Julia Gjertsen - Embers

Following the introspective tones of previously released singles “Tomorrow, I'll be Fine” and “Somewhere Beyond the Sea,” "Acacia" continues to expand Tarçın's versatile musical palette. This piece gently weaves together intimate piano keys and textured strings, reflecting on the subtle beauty and resilience found in life's quiet moments of realization.

“The inspiration for 'Acacia' comes from a white acacia tree partially visible from my studio’s garden. Whenever I step outside for fresh air, my gaze invariably finds this tree. Watching it transition through the seasons — its branches lush green and blooming with white flowers, shedding leaves, bearing winter’s snow, and blossoming anew — has mirrored the cycles of life itself. It’s a kind of reminder to me that some of life’s profound truths are right before our eyes. This piece was born from these reflections. The cover photograph shows the tree itself, capturing one of its beautiful moments.” says Onur.
