The "Beneath the Veil" album is a collection of music started with a simple idea: taking "A Glimmer of Hope", an orchestral piece I released in 2019 on "Moods and Modes Vol. II", and letting it grow in different directions. Each track in the EP is like a new chapter, expanding the same melodic themes but exploring different moods and colors.
The journey begins with "Beneath the Veil," a downtempo, trip-hop rework that uncovers a more reflective, dreamy side of the original. "Embers of Hope" follows, first as a purely orchestral piece, and then as a song with lyrics, a reminder that even in the darkest moments, hope never fully disappears. "A Distant Glow" carries us further, offering a glimpse of something brighter ahead, with a piano-led orchestral ballad that slowly builds toward an epic ending. Finally, "The Other Side" closes the EP with an ambient atmosphere, giving space for a simple piano theme to rise and guide us to the end of the journey.
If the original "Glimmer of Hope" was a single spark, "Beneath the Veil" is the exploration of everything that spark could become: the sadness, the resilience, the light breaking through.
Thank you for listening and for being part of this path with me.
Track Listing
Available on every streaming platform and as a digital download on Bandcamp, here's what you'll find inside:
Beneath the Veil - A downtempo remix of Glimmer of Hope: dreamy, melancholic, and reflective, where strings and beats drift in and out like half-remembered thoughts.
Embers of Hope (Instrumental) - An orchestral reimagining of Glimmer of Hope, tender and cinematic, balancing sorrow and resilience like a quiet inner fire. This is about perseverance, about the tiny but steady light that remains when everything else fades.
Embers of Hope - A lyrical version of the orchestral track: intimate, emotional, and quietly powerful, with a haunting vocal interlude and coda.
A Distant Glow (Instrumental) - An orchestral piece with soft piano passages that rise toward an epic, trailer-style ending. A distant light breaking through shadows.
A Distant Glow - This version brings lyrics to the instrumental, turning it into a soft ballad. The words speak of reaching for light without fully understanding what lies ahead; a metaphor for trust, for healing, for letting go.
The Other Side - An ambient piece that slowly gives way to a solo piano, a soft landing after a long walk, a final step across a threshold.
