About the work

This song is an original minimal acoustic soul composition written and performed by Emre Gökhan Vuran. Built in A minor at 98 BPM, the piece is intentionally stripped down to voice and viola only, creating an intimate and emotionally exposed soundscape. The arrangement focuses on space, breath and restraint, allowing silence and resonance to play an active role in the musical narrative.

The vocal performance features a throat driven, transfeminine deep alto tone that blends masculine depth with feminine brightness. The delivery moves organically between fragility and strength, conveying emotional honesty, vulnerability and lived experience. The viola acts as a gentle counterpart to the voice, forming a quiet dialogue through warm resonance and subtle melodic motion. The recording is captured with clean studio clarity, balanced stereo space and natural reverb, resulting in a cinematic, romantic and timeless atmosphere.
