This year I had the opportunity to work on a self-directed project, which allowed me to explore a new creative direction. I decided to focus on ambient electro-acoustic composition—a genre I had always been interested in but hadn’t had the chance to experiment with before.

The result was an EP titled Time, marking my first venture into this style of music and helping me grow as an artist. Inspired by Brian Eno’s Ambient 1: Music for Airports, I took a piano-led approach, blending natural and artificial textures to create atmospheric and emotional compositions.

Throughout the process created the tracks known as ”Distant” and ”End.”With the creation of both these tracks I gained a deeper understanding of the genre and its ability to shape mood and space. I experimented with different sound sources, incorporating digital techniques to add depth to my work. This project challenged me to think differently about composition and sound design, pushing me to refine my artistic vision.

Beyond learning technical skills, Time represents a big step in my journey as and artist . It helped me developing my style and explore new ways of expressing emotion through sound. This experience reinforced my passion for ambient electro-acoustic music and opened the door to further creative exploration in the future.
