ABOUT THIS ALBUM:
This is a special edition album written and created using a softer and more
delicate playing style by utilizing some of the more expressive features of my
piano in order to change the tone and timbre of the sound and to illuminate the
more expressive aspects of how it can be played. In doing so, I was able to
immerse myself into a softer and quieter style of writing to compliment the
changing elements of my beautiful piano. The music on this album is themed
around different aspects of light and dark.

LUMINOUS SONG STORIES:
Droplets of Gray
Curled up in a comfortable chair, drinking a nice hot cup of tea, snuggled in
blankets, watching rain falling outside. This is a very “rainy day” kind of a song for
me.
When You Hurt, I Hurt
A friend of mine was going through a hard time and I felt very emotionally
connected to the darkness they were feeling. I went to the piano and improvised a
song for them to express the feeling of sadness I was experiencing for their
struggle.
Kaleidoscope
I love kaleidoscopes, and how the colors and shapes constantly change with
unpredictability while the light glows behind.
Shimmer
The quiet moments in life, when I have the space and time to just be still, where I
can reflect and contemplate my personal journey, and be truly grateful for how
beautiful this life can actually be… those are the moments that shine for me the
most.
Moonlit Shadows
I love the ever changing phases of the moon, especially when the moon is full and
the moonlight is casting a soft glow and creating shadows among the trees and
bushes.
The Golden Hour
One of my favorite times of day, when the light outside is a beautiful golden yellow.
This particular lighting makes me feel peaceful and happy.
Luminous
This portrays the feeling of being alive and joyful, happy and content in life. Every
time I live in gratitude, I feel luminous.
Fireflies
I love to watch fireflies hovering and dancing in the air, glowing and illuminating in
the darkness. It’s magical.
Adrift
I went through a period of time where I felt very lost, musically, and this song
portrays that darkness. My lack of creativity during that time made me feel like my
entire life was adrift.
Lanterns In The Sky
One of the most beautiful things I’ve ever experienced is the Lantern Festival,
where thousands of people light paper lanterns and release them into the sky all at
the same time. Standing quietly, peacefully watching them slowly float up and
away into the darkness of the night.

SPECIAL THANKS:
