Blue Landscapes V: Forever the Sea (2025)
Robert Thies & Damjan Krajacic
*2025 Global Music Award winner*
“Blue Landscapes in nature are born in the threshold where water meets sky: a place of stillness, reflection, and infinite possibility. In this elemental meeting, the piano becomes the voice of water: deep, flowing, and resonant with emotion. The flute, by contrast, carries the essence of air: weightless, expansive, and ethereal. Together they weave. This music is not written, but discovered, an improvisational current shaped by trust, by listening, and by the natural melody that arises when two elements meet in harmony.” ~Ana Victoria Esquivel Click here to learn more.
