Shards

A collection of fractured, cinematic vignettes compiled from half a decade of film scores. Cold, skeletal piano and decaying synthesizers drift through a beautiful fog.

February 21, 2025 · Kranky

A cold, skeletal beauty that lingers in a state of quiet, unresolved suspension.

Moments Worth Listening For

The fragile, isolated piano notes on Morning (piano version) that sound as if they are being played in an empty, freezing cathedral

The slow, tectonic disintegration of the synth pads halfway through Sunset Key Melt, mimicking the sound of ice shelves collapsing in slow motion
