Between Ripples is now available to listen across platforms.
🎧 Listen to Between Ripples
There’s a certain kind of music that doesn’t try to take your attention, it gently earns it.
Between Ripples sits in that space.
Built around the natural tone of the handpan, this composition is less about movement and more about awareness. It doesn’t push forward aggressively. Instead, it allows each note to exist fully before the next one arrives.
And in doing so, it shifts how you listen.
🌊 The Idea Behind the Composition
The title Between Ripples comes from a simple observation.
When a ripple forms on water, our attention goes to the movement.
But what often goes unnoticed is the stillness that exists just before and just after it.
That space, subtle, quiet, almost invisible is where this piece lives.
Rather than filling every moment with sound, the composition intentionally leaves room.
Room for decay.
Room for silence.
Room for the listener to breathe.
🎼 How to Experience This Track
This is not a track that demands full focus.
In fact, it works best when you allow it to blend into your surroundings.
Try listening:
- early in the morning, before the day fully begins
- during a quiet evening, when things start to slow down
- while sitting by a window, without distractions
The goal is not to “analyze” the music.
It’s to notice what changes within you while it plays.

🎵 A Closer Listening Perspective
As the track unfolds, you may begin to notice a few things:
- The notes are not rushed, each one is allowed to resonate fully
- There’s no dramatic shift, the piece evolves subtly
- The rhythm is not rigid, it breathes naturally
This creates a listening experience that feels less like a performance and more like a moment.
There’s no urgency to reach somewhere.
And because of that, you end up staying longer than you expected.
Beyond Performance
For years, music has often been approached through structure, speed, and precision.
Between Ripples moves away from that.
It focuses on:
- restraint over complexity
- presence over performance
- feeling over demonstration
It’s not about showing what can be played.
It’s about exploring what happens when less is played.
🌅 Part of a Larger Exploration
This piece is part of a broader direction — a series of compositions that explore different emotional states within a single day.
From stillness to movement, from quiet beginnings to active energy.
Between Ripples represents one end of that spectrum:
the pause before everything begins.
