about

Various sketches of songs have been clogging up my desktop, some of them might find their way into a future physical release, or may have already found, in one form or another. It is raw and bare, which is often lost in studio recordings. There's also several sketches of pieces that kept morphing in the process into something entirely different, which is interesing to trace.

I hope that those of you who like the more traditional songwriting, might still find certain structures interesting, some of these tracks are perhaps more of sound sculptures than songs.

PART I - Song foundations, variations, lyrical.
PART II - Deconstruction, instrumentals, sonic structures.

I've heard it said that the cello sounds eerily like a human voice. To be honest, I don't hear it; I think it sounds rather more like a whale. Then I heard Tramontana and felt quite validated! You must listen—it sounds like whale song; it is captivating and beautiful. A
