A composition of poetic fragments, vintage brass piping, musical notation, and mechanical remains, B Flat echoes the quiet tension between resonance and rust. Nestled among the gears and glass, a clipped poem entitled A Gold Thread subtly ties emotion to material memory, while the sepia-toned seascape suggests motion restrained—waves frozen mid-crash, music paused on the page. It is both harmonic and industrial, with a softness that lingers beneath hard metal and worn textures.
