Lullaby of Cade (feat. Nesora)

An introspective piano piece inspired by a silent winter night.
The moon is portrayed not as a celestial body, but as a small opening in the darkness-
a quiet gaze from above that stirs subtle emotion.
Its calm, mystical tone suits cinematic scenes and reflective visual storytelling.

Where The Moon Was

Perfect Crime (2025 version) is a dark and melancholic piano piece with heavy low notes that resonate throughout.
Its harmonies and rhythms evoke a sense of depth and tension, not sinking into silence but carrying shadows and unease.
Somber yet beautiful, it is a cinematic work filled with haunting atmosphere.

Perfect Crime (2025 Version)

A Dark Decadent piano waltz filled with elegance, luxury, and quiet sensuality - like a fine glass of Romanee wine at midnight.

Romanee de Minuit

Rain Between Us is a romantic piano piece filled with tender melancholy.
Polyrhythmic interplay creates a gentle sway, while soft arpeggios fall like rain between two souls.
Perfect for cinematic moments and emotional reflection.

Rain Between Us

Set in the worlds of Dark Academia and Royalcore, this gothic piece features the Sad Violinist Nesora as a guest artist.
It portrays the quiet aftermath of power and loss, where deep piano tones and hidden dark romance intertwine.
The classical piano arrangement meets Nesora's expressive violin performance, breathing new life into the sound--
a fusion of elegance, melancholy, and restrained passion.

Lullaby of Cade is a gentle lullaby inspired by the orphaned lamb Cade.
While Cade symbolizes solitude, it also embodies warmth, innocence, and a tender spirit that draws people close.
In this piece, the piano carries a heartbeat-like motif of the lamb, while the violin sings beside it like a mother's voice of love.
It is a calm and intimate duet that portrays the moment when solitude turns into connection.
