Aphrodisiac Waltz

pianocafe Kumi

The Letter of Goodbye is a piano composition inspired by J.S. Bach's Minuet in G major, reimagined with a fresh poetic sensibility.
While honoring the elegance of Baroque form, this arrangement moves beyond the familiar "children's piece," revealing the deeper beauty hidden within its melody.
Its sound is imbued with a melancholic and romantic depth, like a quiet letter of farewell that gently touches the heart.
A work that adds a new shade to the memory of classical music - serene, lyrical, and timeless.

The Letter of Goodbye

"Promise" is a bittersweet and beautiful romantic piano waltz that evokes the fragility of love and promises. Its melancholy melody intertwines with memories and emotions that have deeply lingered over the passing of time. The promise made in the past still resonates quietly in the heart, a tender echo of something cherished and lost. This piece blends the emotional depth of dark academia with the allure of dark romanticism, captured through lyrical piano that carries the essence of fleeting beauty and introspective longing.

Atlantis (feat. Nesora)

"Fading Scent" is a piano piece that expresses memories fading with time, much like an unforgettable scent lingering in the air. The idea was inspired by the smell of tobacco, which always brings back fond memories of the past, and I translated these emotions into music. The chromatic tones and blue note dissonances create a sense of tension, embodying the forbidden allure and sensuality that are inseparable from adult love. In crafting this piece, I aimed to capture the deep emotions that remain in my heart and transform them into sound.

Fading Scent

Obsession Waltz

A trilogy of waltzes composed in darkness and elegance.
Built on diminished harmonies and chromatic motion, each piece unveils quiet madness and classical sensuality.
This is a dark romantic piano collection, tinted with shadow and subtle dissonance.
A companion visual ZINE "Waltz in Poison" is also available-
blending sonic beauty with visual art in a quiet but intoxicating atmosphere.
