Blog, Composition Clients

“Float” is a word that’s used a lot in yoga when discussing alignment and controlled movement.

And then, tragically, unexpectedly — her father passed away. Translating loss to art, beautifully melodies and lyrics came forth, set to an emotional string arrangement. Keep reading for the original blog. Full story: The fourth track on my SoundCloud Playlist is "Goodnight My Hero" by Victoria Faiella. Victoria and I have written a number of songs together over the years. At one point we decided to see if I had anything in my "pile" of unfinished compositions that might be a good starting point for a new song.
