21.3.25 New Release on Endless Geometry: Zephyr and On the Grass

Listen and like on: Spotify or Bandcamp.

This double single release on Endless Geometry is inspired by the calming elements of nature.

A gentle sea breeze and flowing waves provide the foundation of Zephyr. Whistling synths, smooth bass, and evolving pads create a delicate sense of motion, offering a space of calm and tranquillity. Meanwhile On the Grass is a short, evolving drone piece that captures the stillness and simplicity of a sunny day, as the sun beams down on a grassy meadow.
