Gazes Grises from Solace by Gabor

This is a song that I composed while in confinement in New York City—a place I’d never thought I’d experience so quiet. For once, it’s been easy to sit down and complete an entire piece from home, while elsewhere pain and turmoil persist.

I’m humbled to be part of such a project, put together by people who I admire—who have lately called to mind the idea of ‘Scenius’, coined by Brian Eno. How ironic, as we find ourselves now apart. All my thoughts go out to those suffering from the COVID-19 pandemic and to those working tirelessly, regardless of the conditions set for them or against them.
