A Quiet Sunburst: Martin Lloyd Howard’s “Selene”

From the very first seconds, a beautiful classical guitar opens the door gently, its warm nylon strings reaching straight for the heart. There’s no rush, no excess. Just sound, breath, and space.

Selene has an almost healing quality. It calms, reassures, washes away the noise and the quiet fears we didn’t realize we were carrying. It illustrates the simple but powerful truth of music: when it’s honest, it doesn’t need anything else.
