Nocturnal Blues, an ode to the night, is music for those who listen best when the world is silent.
A collection of 15 contemplative, impressionistic nocturnes. Music for moments of reflection, memory, and tenderness — illuminated by the soft luminosity of the night.
Blue bleeds through these nocturnes — not as pigment, but as emotion. Each hue holds a memory, a thought. Blues that shape our quietest hours, becoming a world of their own.
Matteo Myderwyk about his work:
For centuries, artists have turned to the night as their muse. My greatest hero Vincent van Gogh once wrote:
“It often seems to me that the night is much more alive and richly coloured than the day — as if the night were not black but blue, violet and green.”
That idea — that the night contains a deeper palette, a richer language — lies at the heart of this album.
With titles Self Portrait, Starry Night and Pietà, I honour Van Gogh’s world, his light, his sorrow, his radical tenderness, and the way he turned the night into a language of colour and feeling.
Late night moments where thoughts find clarity — this is where Nocturnal Blues lives. Where stillness allows us to reflect, to dream, to be vulnerable. In these hushed hours after dusk we lose ourselves, or finally find ourselves; in shadow, in starlight… in music."
