Product Description
Five pieces for solo harp (also lever harp)
The overall character of 'The Art of Becoming' is serene and introspective, blending neoclassical elegance with subtle Celtic influences. It is music for deep listening, inspired by the aesthetics of both light and dark academia. The titles of the individual pieces read like lines of a poem, intertwining abstract images into a cohesive narrative about self-fulfillment.

The Art of Becoming (on Bandcamp)
The titles of the individual pieces read like lines of a poem, intertwining abstract images into a cohesive narrative about self-fulfillment. Musically, the cycle is conceived as a unified whole rather than a mere collection of unrelated pieces. It is structured to create contrast in mood, tempo, and time signature while maintaining a consistent aesthetic.
