about

"Ensanguining the skies
How heavily it dies
Into the west away;
Past touch and sight and sound
Not further to be found,
How hopeless under ground
Falls the remorseful day."

A. E. Housman


This track is a melancholic sound reverie on the beauty of twilight, the end of a day, the beginning of a night, when the forest awakens, when the surf of the ocean calms.

I create my music by feeling and instinct, it is largely improvised, created in the moment of playing and listening, immersed in the sound, in the vibrations, in the coming and going of images, memories, sensations.

My music feeds on everything I have listened to and loved for years...

I dedicate this record to Harold Budd, whose music is one of the soundtracks of my life...
