This album is an intimate and stripped-down work — a gentle dive into a personal, sincere sonic universe.
Led by the warm tones of my guitar — sometimes clean electric, sometimes soft nylon — it embraces a minimalist, almost confidential aesthetic. At times, a fretless bass gently wraps around the melodies, adding a smooth roundness and subtle depth to the whole.

The album naturally leans toward jazz, yet refuses to be confined by it. Here, melody takes center stage, guiding each piece with sensitivity. Improvisation plays an essential role, offering spontaneous and vivid breaths — especially on the final track, a free and inspired tribute to Maurice Ravel, where the spirit of the composer intertwines with my own musical voice.

It’s an album to be listened to with closed eyes — like a whisper, an inner dialogue between strings, silence, and emotion.
