about

I wrote this piece back in 2010 on a keyboard in my childhood home. I had originally intended on adding lyrics, but since the piece felt complete on its own, I left it as an instrumental. During quarantine, I invested in a music production software and added a full band to back up the piano, thus creating a lush sound with even more sentimentality.

The music, to me, visualizes 2 birds building a nest and a family, mating for life. The artwork is inspired by the segment on picathartes in the BBC series "Planet Earth: Africa" by David Attenborough. I dedicate this song to my parents.
