Why Simplicity in Music Still Matters

There was a tendency in my music to add more.
More layers.
More complexity.
More production.
But at some point, something essential got lost.
It"s not that I don't love complexity and excellent music pruduction, but from what you already know or heard from my music I often do jot care too much yet focus on the feeling and intuitive components of the song wanting to come out into this realm through me :-)
“ALL REALMS” was created in the opposite direction.
Each piece is reduced to what remains
when nothing unnecessary is added.
Just piano.
Just time.
Just presence.
This kind of work is not created quickly.
And it is not meant to be consumed quickly.
It asks for something different:
attention, space, and a willingness to slow down.
For those who feel that,
the full collection—including the sheet music—is available here:
or listen to the full album whenever you like for free on youtube below:
Not as content.
But as something to return to.
