There’s a certain kind of calm that only appears when you start walking without a reason.If you’d like to follow this project as it takes shape, you can join here.
As this new album slowly begins to form, I’ve noticed that each piece seems to approach the same world from a slightly different angle.
The earlier ideas were more still.
Centered around observation.
This one is different.
It moves.
Not quickly, not with intention — but in a way that feels familiar.
Like walking through a place where time doesn’t really matter.
This album is part of a larger plan: four separate releases, each tied to a different season.
Together, they form a kind of cycle.
But right now, everything is still at the beginning.
The image behind this piece is simple.
A coniferous forest in spring, during the day.
Light filters through tall trees, never evenly.
It breaks, shifts, disappears, then returns again a few steps later.
The ground is soft — moss, fallen cones, old wood.
Nothing arranged, nothing designed.
And somewhere in the middle of it, there’s a path.
You don’t really notice when you start following it.
It just becomes easier than not.
That feeling shaped the music more than anything else.
There’s a quiet sense of movement throughout the piece.
Cellos and double basses carry it — not strongly, but enough to suggest direction.
Above that, individual voices come and go.
A violin line that appears briefly, then fades.
The English horn bringing warmth without drawing attention to itself.
A soft trumpet tone that catches the light for a moment.
It’s melodic, but not in a way that demands focus.
More like something you become aware of over time.
Light plays a role here too — not just visually, but in how the orchestration is built.
There’s space between things.
Nothing is overly dense.
That’s intentional.
I’m trying to stay close to a more traditional, European approach to orchestration — where detail and texture matter more than impact.
Something that feels human.
Breathing.
If the earlier piece was about observing a place, this one is about moving through it.
And as the album continues, that movement will keep unfolding — one step at a time.
