piano, will be released in 2020 (Spotify, Apple Music, etc.) through the label Double J Music. ("felted" piano sounds are produced by putting a piece of felt
or cloth between the strings and the hammers.)
Meraki (Greek) is when you
put your soul into something you are doing. "Meraki"
is a word that modern Greeks often use to describe what happens when you leave
a piece of yourself (your soul, creativity, or love) in your work. When you
love doing something, anything, so much that you put something of yourself into
it.
Meraki means to do something with passion, with
absolute devotion, with undivided attention.
Meraki is derived from the Turkish "Merak" (Labor of
love, to do something with pleasure). Usually applied to tasks, usually,
creative or artistic tasks, but can be applied to any task at all.
Lumokinesis (4:00).
Lumokinesis is the ability to manipulate and control the element light at
will.
Kenopsia (4:00). Kenopsia is the eerie atmosphere of a place usually full of peple, but now
abandoned and calm.
Ataraxia (4:30).
Tranquility, imperturbability, absence of wishes or fears.
Petricor (3:30). Petrichor is the earthy scent produced when rain falls on dry soil.
Exulansis (3:45). The
tendency to stop talking of one's experiences because people cannot reate to
them.
