Notes from the Composer

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.

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.

No special permission is required for public performances or recordings—you are free to perform or record this music. Ideally the cycle should be performed in full, but individual pieces can stand alone in a concert setting.
