Autumn is an artist of gentle touches and definitive judgments. It shortens the days, cools the air, invites us to seek more intimate refuges. And while outside the first rain washes away the dust of summer and the fog begins to draw uncertain outlines, I feel an almost physical need for a different kind of warmth. A warmth that comes not from a radiator, but from a memory.

These days, I found myself listening to a song of mine on loop that seems to come from another creative life: “Sealounge”.

Those familiar with my music, my journey through the textures of prog metal and the confessions of rock, might be surprised. "Sealounge" has no clanging guitars or complex rhythms. It's the product of a period of exploration, a moment in which I set aside the instruments I knew like the back of my hand to play with the unknown: electronics, samplers, synthetic sounds. It was an act of freedom, a way to discover whether my creative voice could also speak another language.

The song opens with a liquid curtain: the waves of the sea. It's not a simple effect, it's a gateway. An invitation to strip away the superfluous and enter a different dimension, that of an endless summer afternoon. I tried to weave a sonic tapestry that was almost tactile: the slow pulse of a resting heartbeat, the synths expanding like ripples on the water, the rarefied melodies evoking a half-sleep under a beach umbrella, the sun filtering through your eyelids and warming your skin.

Music has this extraordinary power: it's a time machine for sensations. And every note, every sound in "Sealounge" was chosen and positioned with a single purpose: to evoke that sense of peace and abandon. It's my small resistance against the advancing grayness, a pocket-sized sun that can be turned on when needed.

Today I'm sharing it with you. I hope it can be a little refuge for you too, an unexpected wave of warmth to warm these first days of autumn and remind us that, somewhere deep inside us, summer never truly ends.

Enjoy listening.
