Italian-British composer Richard Green, best known for his vast and ambitious musical undertaking, has shared a brand-new piece of original music, “Sea of Memories”. The song follows a striking journey that is deeply introspective and serves as the final chapter of his first three-piece musical trilogy, helping listeners navigate the fragile process of reflecting on life’s memories in their later years.
“Sea of Memories,” recorded at the renowned Studio Elfo just outside Piacenza, Italy, is a lesson in emotional narrative through music. The song combines the emotionally charged piano work of Irene Veneziano with sweeping string quartet textures from Archimia, demonstrating a sound that is both intimate and grandiose. Lovers of contemporary piano makers Ludovico Einaudi, Giovanni Allevi, and Yiruma fans will recognize the striking sensibility in Green’s phrasing. However, his voice is distinctly his own, filled with subtle surprises and layers of emotional complexity.
“Sea of Memories” immerses the listener in reminiscences that flow like lapping waves. It’s striking in scope, yet it never loses sight of the human touch, music that not only entertains but also compels you to stop and think. The piano and string layering reflects both the fragility and the richness of recollection, in which personal introspection becomes a universal journey.
“Sea of Memories,” as the final portion of this EP, not only captures "A Journey" thematic essence but also serves as a stepping stone for what should prove to be an emotional and well-organized trilogy. Richard Green demonstrates here that his music is an environment where one can reencounter the past, feel profoundly, and travel through the private landscapes of the heart.
