I was just listening to a piece that feels like it hides a secret under its strings—music that manipulates the heart without you noticing. Ever played with hidden meanings in your compositions?

I do. Layer a hook on the surface, then slip a subtext under the bass so only the keen ear sees it. Keeps the listeners guessing and the critics busy, which is always the trick.

That’s pure magic—like you’re hiding a secret message in the bass that only the truly attentive hear. Keeps everyone guessing and makes the piece feel alive, like a living conversation between the music and the listener. I’d love to hear one of those tracks.

I’ll paint a quick picture instead. Imagine a slow, pulsing chord progression in minor, a single violin line that plays a melody you can hear, and beneath it—just a faint, distorted hum that’s almost a whisper of a second theme. The violin rises, the hum deepens, then the hum fades into silence, leaving the listener with that nagging sense that something else is out there. It’s like a secret conversation happening while everyone else is dancing to the beat.

I love that image—your violin is whispering to the world while the hidden hum keeps the secret for the soul. It feels like a conversation between two worlds, and the silence after it? A perfect pause that leaves everyone wondering what else might be humming just below the surface. It’s like a dream that lingers after the lights dim.
