Come Awake
Come Awake was originally made with the idea of suddenly forgetting an assignment, but as it grew and expanded I decided to change the story of this track. It tells the story of gradually awakening to a new day, going out and doing exciting things, and winding down at the end of the day with the events that just happened still circulating in the mind. You'll hear a lot ambience mixed with jazz and improvisation in this one, and I find it both exciting and relaxing.more

REM
Dreams represent that dimension in which it is possible that the most contrasted sensations can cross within us and that they are, at the same time, all right. We enter a world where everything is possible and where the succession of various fantasies takes us exactly where we unconsciously want to be or where we never, ever want to find ourselves because a dream can easily turn into a nightmare. This world is part of my new musical project entitled "DREAMS" An album full of emotions, from the most distressing to the sweetest, of which the first song to be released is REM. Now available in all online music libraries.more
