Some tracks are birthed through blood, sweat, and tears, while others seem to just effortlessly appear out of thin air. Willow’s Waltz was definitely in the latter category. Created in a blur of creativity in the final week of 2022, it marked the first collaboration between myself and the amazing vocalist Elvya. I initially sent her a fragment of a tune idea I had sitting around. I short time later she sent back some vocal melodies, and that lit the fuse, the track just exploded. I was very inspired by the Elvya’s vocals, and all the other elements just seemed to fall into place with such easy. When I listen back to the track now, it amazes  me how everything fits and flows so well. I wish every piece was as effortles to make as Willow’s Waltz!
