‘Hiraeth’ means a longing for a home you can’t return to, or one that was never yours. Calm synth pads, strings and yearning solo cello.

Filaments
Sombre, warm piano meanders around simple, emotional strings and synths. Drops away, but then builds up to a dramatic finish at around 4:10.
She Moved Mountains
Very simple ambient piano, focusing on the space between notes. Subtle strings and synths fill out the space. This was a musical response to the passing of someone I knew.
Static
A calm, melancholy piano + string cue, with a simple cyclic theme. It’s a twinge of sadness mixed with a bit of optimism – of things lost but new things yet to come. And they’ll come.
Chronicle
A cinematic opening to a project that never came to be. Dark, ambient tones give way to an orchestral rise, and then to a simple melody played on a Duduk (an Armenian clarinet), accompanied by orchestra.
Time and Space
A simple, modern piano & orchestra piece in two parts – beginning with a simple piano motif and effected woodwinds, but suddenly dropping into a dramatic, driving orchestral backend at ~2:05.
Genesis
A short experiment in making a synth sing! Simple string chords, droning synth and a melodic, singing synth to accompany.
Eclipse
A melancholy, groove-based track featuring acoustic/electronic drums, electric piano, string orchestra and synths.
Invocation
A solemn string cue, with a sweeping fantasy melody. Also features soft harp and woodwinds.
Desperation
A dark, dramatic track featuring solemn strings and solo recorder. Ends on a less dark note, with a brass chorale feel.
