Starts with a dark, lonesome mood and gradually develops into a lively one
jazz instrumental rock blues avant garde
Everything goes, but mostly instrumental music.
This is a solo project. I intend to make instrumental music and not limit myself to a single genre. I like experimenting and flirting with modes to attach distinctive color, tones and character to my sound. (Yeah, right)

Story behind the song
Got inspired by Buddhist pilgrims who take months to get to Lhasa, Tibet to pay homage to their deity. They crawl (laying flat, taking another step, laying flat again) all the way to Lhasa in frozen ice, ashphalt, gravel, mountains and all kinds of tempestous environments. They bleed, they swell, but enjoy the experience of meeting their deity at the end. This song is dedicated to them.
Lyrics
He lives under frozen skies; under the lost moon summer in his painted soul; beauty in his eyes He lives no fear, no emotion, no preconceived notion Limping, crawling in the snow; white tears without cries Hunger and pain in a shabby frame -- out for glory, or fame? Another believer; seeker or dreamer? A lost soul without a name? He listens to the words of his persistent mind Semblance of truth that form at dawn; washed away by night Every step on the endless road; reflections of every kind Journey to the mountains of might, no man's pride Repeat Chorus He wakes up to the light on the southern skies Frozen lakes beneath his trails; fire burning in his eyes Flesh and bone over another stone; a time of natural highs Beyond the mountains that kiss the sky; his home lies Repeat Chorus
