Five years ago I wrote a song called "Simple Dreams". Even if it was an heartfelt song, I found it a bit cheesy. Nevertheless, it was a favourite of my elder daughter.
"Blissful Serenade" is born out of a sample of "Simple Dreams". 5 years have gone by, my daughter is now studying abroad, and maybe that's why the serene atmosphere of the piece acquired a bit of a nostalgic tinge.
Have a listen to the song on your preferred music site and let me know what you think about it on the comments below!
I am also adding the song as a bonus track on the album "Moods and Modes vol. II" on Bandcamp. I am planning of revisiting all this album in the coming months and let those songs inspire new remixes, a little bit more on the electronic side than the originals.
And here is the video inspired by the song, with a play on the cover art and on the vintage nostalgic feeling. A selected and modified clip will be released as a "Moving Cover" (see below)
If you like the song and would like to support my work, consider subscribing to my low volume newsletter to keep in touch, purchasing the album on Bandcamp, or collecting one of the 25 limited edition "digital vinyls" on Sound.xyz or the derived works described below.
Digital vinyls and derived works
As some of you may know, I like to further toy around with my songs and turning them in some twisted derived works and releasing those as digital collectibles. I will update this page with proper links at release time, but this is what I am working on:
Moving Covers
Moving Covers is a collection of short music video clips that animate the cover art of my songs. The animations are AI generated, with some uncanny results I find fascinating. Blissful Serenade will be released as a free but limited editions of 15 collectible items each on Zora.
