Wrote some piano music for my newborn. Take care.
on: March 22, 2017, 09:22:26 PM
Mondays work...

My daughters middle name is "Pailin", which is the Thai word for sapphire (hence the album name). As Thai culture has had a profound impact on my life, I chose to give these pieces a mystical asian feel to them (with some traditional Thai rhythms)... Cheers,

1) Lullaby in a Music Box (0:00)
2) Ballad in B+ (3:04)
3) Prologue (7:18)
4) Sapphire Blue (8:18)
5) On the Ocean, an epilogue (24:12)
