Composer's Artistic Vision
The album explores 'songs without words,' where the blueprint of an absent melody can still be felt even if not heard.
Composer's Artistic Vision
The music on this album is intended to sound aged, as if it has lived a life, with shadowy, dusty, and subtly degrading reverbs.
Compositional Technique
Musical distortion on this album is used not for aggression, but to play with the perception of sound, like a trick mirror.
Composer's Artistic Vision
The album's title, PATINA, reflects an appreciation for imperfections and the everyday impact of life, seeing these as 'evidence of life'.
Interpretation
The recording aims to bring the listener close to the instruments, capturing sounds like bow scratches, finger movements on the keyboard, and breath in the room.
