As you know Luke, I had listened to this piece this afternoon. I had it on loop all afternoon to try and get an intuitive understanding. There is a great temptation to use visual metaphors but I fear I won't do it justice. The music speaks for itself. The dialogue between you, violinist Alix Vaillot-Szwarc and cellist Özgür Kaya is exquisite and sublime. And the music?? It is intensely, heartachingly and indescribably beautiful. It was a real privilege to be able to listen to you three together. As Always with Heartfelt Thanks and the Warmest Wishes to You, Alix Vaillot-Szwarc and Özgür Kaya for a thriving career and more collaborations in the future, Ros 😊🙏🥰

How is it that such beauty exists in this fallen world?

[TheExiledDefenfer]

I love how the violin and the cello intertwine so beautifully. And the piano speaks alongside them all in such a meditative and rythmic exchange. Georgously done! You compositions are always beautiful, no matter the instrumentation.

I think the piece came from an inspiration found in nature, especially in the first light of the morning. Thanks for sharing

Luke this is amazing. I got goosebumps listening to this, and the timestamps are great. Makes you appreciate it even more :)

Wow. I began listening and immediately took a deep breath and felt a sense of peace. Some music is especially therapeutic and this falls in that category. I've tried to write this comment 4 times now and find myself struggling for words. This is very good, Luke. A different kind of good than the collaboration with Vesi, and a different kind of good than your solo piano works. Not better, but it hits deeper, somehow.
