Recorded in his home studio in Shepperton, UK, the album offers a series of intimate, reflective works that capture the raw emotion behind each note.
Each track feels personal, with the music unfolding in a way that connects directly to the listener. Buttigieg blends neoclassical influences with an improvisational style, allowing the melodies to flow naturally. His approach is simple but impactful, focusing on the subtle nuances of touch and dynamics instead of complexity. The result is a series of compositions that vary from melancholic and introspective to hopeful and uplifting, all underpinned by a sense of honesty and authenticity.
Buttigieg’s background in composing for film and television shines through in this album. The pieces feel cinematic, making them ideal for scenes that require reflection or quiet moments. Their shifting moods work well for storytelling, whether in films, documentaries, or video games, giving space for the visuals to unfold while subtly supporting the emotional tone.
