Info for map of my imaginary memories

This album is a deeply personal journey through sound and memory, inspired by a transformative moment in 2017 when John Cage’s In a Landscape first captivated me. Over the years, I collected pieces that evoked the same hypnotic effect, creating a musical diary spanning from 2017 to 2024. Blending classical works with my own improvisations, this album reflects the fluid and mysterious nature of memory—how it shifts, distorts, and intertwines with imagination. Each piece is a portal to different moments in time, forming a dreamlike tapestry where past, future, and the imaginary merge into one.
