Noctum

Noctum is Latin for “Night.” I intentionally worked on this piece only at night, hoping that would help convey the sense of a nocturnal atmosphere. It was also an exercise for me, to see if I could keep the melodies simple and haunting, having no more than two simple lines weaving around each other at a time.
