about

Five Neo-classical, post-Romantic piano pieces with unconventional titles.

"Meraki" is a word that modern Greeks often use to describe what happens when you leave a piece of yourself (your soul, creativity, or love) in your work. When you love doing something, anything, so much that you put something of yourself into it.

Meraki means to do something with passion, with absolute devotion, with undivided attention.

Meraki is derived from the Turkish “Merak” (Labor of love, to do something with pleasure). Usually applied to tasks, usually, creative or artistic tasks, but can be applied to any task at all

Tracks:

Lumokinesis
Kenopsia
Ataraxia
Petricor
Exulansis

There are two versions of this EP: normal piano and "felt" piano, which is produced by putting a piece of felt or cloth between the strings and the hammers.

Meraki significa hacer algo con amor y creatividad, poniendo el alma en ello.
Meraki (Greek) is when you put your soul into something you are doing.
