"description": "Computers is the final stage of my personal challenge: one song a year to truly learn how to write and produce. With this song, I achieved my goal—enough to feel capable of creating and publishing my own pieces. It stems from the contrast between digital life and the natural world that hosts us: the serene images accompany a journey through musical memories, while the videos that flow inside the computer are a tribute to some of the songs and music videos that have inspired and shaped me along the way. It's also the point where I choose to stop the challenge: it was becoming a constraint, and for me, music is first and foremost a passion. Computers is the most honest way I've found to express it."

Beautiful sunshine
Sitting here under the balcony
I've gone for one swim
It's really good to refresh yourself in the word of the Lord
Wonderful to know that God loves us and cares for us already."

"description": "On February 24th 2022, the Russian army invaded Ukraine.
As a musician, I was left helpless. Then I heard President Zelenskyy's speech to the citizens of the Russian Federation and I felt the urge to do something, so I wrote this song to express my concern and my bitter feelings about this damned invasion.
You can donate to a lot of peaceful organizations such as your nation's Red Cross or UNHCR to help Ukrainian refugees. Here's a couple links to Ukranian orgs where you can donate: UNHCR - Hospitallers - Come Back Alive.
There's also this beautifully compiled linktree of ways to contribute."

"description": "During Spring 2020 lockdown I wrote 4 songs, born as simple beats sampling pieces of classic repertoire and fast become whole indie electronic / chillwave songs.
Honan samples \"Ho una casa nell'Honan\" from Puccini's Turandot. It's a story on the distant place of our origins whe chose to leave. Struggling to follow our dreams and our hopes in this crazy world, our thoughts always wander back to our homeland."

FauneCORE was born as a downtempo track, but suddenly it started showing its real nature, defining itself as a dark and edgy breakbeat. It samples Debussy's Prélude à l'après-midi d'un Faune."

Stillabend chops a piece from Ravel's Piano Concert in G and shatters it, turning its fragments in to a beat."

In We Can Always Go Back to Secrets there's an empty hut by the sea, a buzzing radio and a loose tap. It starts from nothing, expands into the outer world to go back in the nothingness of a bedroom, ending the four part trip of Honan/FauneCORE/Stillabend/Secrets."

"description": "Petrichor is an intimate trio of imperceptible songs that celebrate the night and the sky, the peace you find in loneliness and the hope that the new day brings.
It's the feeling you get in the moment just before things happen, it's the smell of the ground just before it starts raining."

A score conceived and written for the instruments and, above all, for the instrumentalists who would have had to play it, without losing sight of the final result, so that it would accompany the events on the screen while being interesting and stimulating."
