A second track for this new series. Simply close your eyee and travel with the sound. 🙂
I have been thinking about this series for a while. Now, it is time to get it started. As the title suggests, this is a journal of my musical experiments. A free flow of ideas, recorded as they happen, and feel, in the moment of their emergence. Hope you enjoy!
I will make this series available on streaming platforms, as volumes of 10 songs. Until then, I’m doing this DIY exploration, saving time for the creation of more pieces.

For years, I have been collecting daily snapshots of surrounding details. When we take time to chill and observe, we curiously see a visual richness that we would otherwise walk by and miss.
Now that the kids have grown up, I have a full box of crayons at my disposal. 🙂 I may be doing more colour doodling for a little while.

I have been reading a lot, lately. Books about: spirituality, philosophy, poetry,… One of the common theme is the connection with nature. While reading all of this inspirational content, I have been sketching a lot very minimalistic organic shapes. Intentionally reducing the busyness while looking at the details, of the surrounding elements.
I feel that I will be sharing more of those.
Dave!
