01 / The story

A language of melody and space.

In Albis began in Dublin, shaped by classical music and a growing interest in minimalist composition. The music brings warm piano, chamber textures, organic atmospheres and restrained electronics together in intimate instrumental pieces.

Early classical influences led toward the simple but intense melodies and harmonic beds of Philip Glass, Max Richter and Nils Frahm. Manuel’s writing remains intuitive, visual and focused on a direct emotional connection.

02 / The approach

Acoustic first.
Open to texture.

Each composition starts with a feeling or image. Piano and acoustic instruments carry the center; subtle electronic and organic sounds give it depth without crowding the melody.
