Meraki, in recording for felted 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.
