Shards

Shards initiate the journey with restrained energy. Emerging from a fragmented motif, the music gradually expands accumulating rhythmic and harmonic layers like splintered light refracting through glass. Despite its name, Shards does not fracture the listener's experience, but rather invites them into a tonal mosaic, where each repeated figure builds a sense of wholeness from broken symmetry. With a steady pulse and evolving texture, the piece establishes the collection's central ethos: transformation through subtle accumulation.
