Dusk or Dawn?

Dusk or Dawn? is an original composition that emerged from a place of creative exploration and musical dialogue. This piece represents the beautiful uncertainty of liminal moments—those transitional spaces where day meets night, where one phase of life transforms into another, where questions linger in the air without demanding immediate answers.

The title itself invites contemplation: are we witnessing the closing of day or the beginning of a new one? This ambiguity is woven into the fabric of the music, creating an atmospheric soundscape that allows listeners to find their own meaning within its notes. It's a piece born from the pure joy of creating something new, of bringing musical ideas to life through collaboration and experimentation.

The composition

This piece was brought to life through the collaborative work with Stefano Vivaldini, who created the arrangement and documented the creative process on his Substack. His insights into the compositional choices and the development of this duo offer a fascinating glimpse into how an original piece takes shape.

Stefano has arranged "Dusk or Dawn?" as a guitar duo, crafting two complementary voices that interweave to create a rich, evocative texture. The interplay between the two guitars captures that sense of duality inherent in the title—light and shadow, question and answer, endings and beginnings dancing together in musical conversation.
