The Alien I'll Never Forget
Skirmish: What would you say to any... (@hudders6400598)Liner Notes
Thank you so much for a very interesting prompt. I had different ideas but in the end a romantic and nostalgic one decided to stay. What would I say to the alien who would come to me? I'd say that I love him and I miss him and I love him more and more, and more... Instrumentals are open to suggestions and interpretations. I can imagine singing and / or spoken word and a story could be a different one. Everyone hears music differently and what is really fascinating, a lot depends on our mood, on our situations, even how hungry or not we are. I noticed when I go back to some compositions, I feel them differently, and the story behind them changes too. Anyway, I wouldn't bore you with my ides. I'm happy to let you decide what this music is about. If you are interested in collaborating, please let me know. March is a good time to update our demos, and I'm happy to collaborate all year around :)

A very wistful piece with a cosmic sound. Great skirmish.

Starts right out of the gate with an 'alien' vibe. Great choice of synth sounds. I love that bright sound that appears at around 3:30. It's subtle but shifts the entire piece.

There is great depth of feeling here. Admiration, wonder, longing. This belongs in a scene of a feature film.

Perfect Sci-Fi film music. Majestic cosmic scenes with mile long spaceships sliding by the camera like in Star Wars or 2001!

Great soundscape. Alien, but also familiar. Longing and peaceful. I could definitely see this in a soundtrack.

This was so lovely. I love the combination of the pads with the strings/droning. It conjures scenes of aliens in warm lighting and soft focus. I love the subtlety of the piece, too. Nothing over the top, just gentle nostalgic music.

I love it, I feel transported to a sci fi movie and it is a comforting place to be.

As I don’t really play the keys, this is fascinating to me, how you can play all of this soundscape and have a picture of what the music means to you. Really haunting and special. Something I could imagine being in a Thom Yorke soundtrack.

Ooooo Nadia, what a beautiful, almost alien, piece of music!! Hey, wait a minute, maybe you've been enhanced by aliens and that's why you always make such lovely music? :D Nah, I guess it is just because you are so talented! Thanks for always making me smile when I listen to one of your songs!
