Rusaud
The fairy tale of Rusaud, a young
man set on freeing his kingdom from
the tyrannical rule of the Fox Kings.Written in French as per the original
story (written for a school project).
First song I ever wrote.
Fox Kings (and Rusaud's Lullaby)
Prequel to Rusaud.The perspective from which the story
is told switches throughout the song
between the people of the kingdom,
the omniscient narrator, Rusaud,
and his family.
Thunderclouds
Started off as two chords on the
acoustic guitar that, when played
in succession, had a strange,
rain-like sound to them.From start to finish, this song took the
least amount of time to create.
The Lonely Cloud
This song features one of my best
chord progressions in its verses.My first piano centered composition,
which also happens to not include
acoustic guitar. I had a very vivid
image of blue skies when writing this.
Strings of Glass
Features my best lyrics without a
doubt. Early on, I decided to prioritize
flow and meaning over rhyme. When
arranging, I imagined a windy day,
and that was my inspiration.Second song I ever wrote, after a year
or so of inactivity.
Home (Where Night Can't Reach)
The basic chord structure, complex as
it is, is actually quite old. I recall
having written it way before Rusaud.From the very beginning, I
knew I wanted to write about the
night.
Celebrate
Quick piano song I wrote for my
birthday. My goal wasn't to write
intricate, but to write cozy. The
chorus melody is one of my sweetest.Originally, my intention was to
release the piece as an instrumental.
