Some music feelings

This is a short post.
I swear I won’t make only big ones.

I want to compose my ambient album.
This is one of my main music sides.

Because I really like Lovecraft horror tales and because it really inspires my sound design and even my composition approach, I ‘d like to dedicate that album to his mythology & abysses.

finally, 2 shows in New York!
