ORBIT
Orbit is actually the very first song I wrote. I started working on it in 2013, and suddenly, when the Phonic Nomads project took shape, I thought this would be the perfect time to complete and release the song.
Nicki Gonzalez wrote the melody and lyrics that were missing, and added her vocals to the track, which, in turn, elevated the song to another level.
It brings all the elements of music that I cherish so much - simplicity and complexity, virtuosity and musicality - together. It’s a good mix of Pop and Jazz music and I don’t believe you need to be well-versed in music to enjoy it.
