Step by Step encapsulates a potent metaphor for the dance of life, unraveled moment by moment, step by step. The composition marries vibrant melodies with dynamic rhythmic complexities, in a celebratory invitation to cast aside our anxieties, to immerse ourselves in the sensory experience of the present. Each note rings out a gentle reminder of the joy in simplicity, the beauty in the unfolding tapestry of the here and now.
