Auri - III - Candles & Beginnings (2025)


Auri's III – Candles & Beginnings unfolds like a tender dream that gently gathers you with its delicate orchestration and ethereal warmth. The music feels handcrafted and introspective, weaving soft piano, pan flutes, and ambient strings into lush sonic landscapes that shimmer with memory. The closing track, “A Boy Travelling With His Mother,” serves as a quietly majestic pilgrimage, guiding the listener through layers of emotion and subtle narrative. Throughout, the album balances folk-rooted simplicity with cinematic scope, creating an immersive experience that feels as intimate as it is expansive. In a world of noise and haste, this album is a serene invitation to pause, reflect, and inhabit a more wondrous, slower rhythm.
