heart
for piano
about
"When I was little, I loved playing video games. My favourite video game was called Kingdom Hearts, and I was obsessed with its story, its characters and its music. Now, I haven't played Kingdom Hearts for several years, but its universe is still near and dear to me.
When I started writing this piece, I immediately recognised that something about the beginning reminded me of Yoko Shimomura's soundtrack for the Kingdom Hearts series. So I decided to name it 'Heart' in honour of one of my favourite childhood pastimes."
— Eli Tausen á Lava
