Written by a friend for his own wedding, „Ona“ is a short, unusual and beautiful speech. It’s the starting point, but it’s not at the start. After the wedding - dances, maybe wild. Before: a walk in John´s melody, then - a cry? That’s Manuela´s solo cello piece, discovered at midnight. You’ll probably hear some signs of spring with Salvatore´s black bird.
What characterizes this couple's journey? I'll leave you to tell me. Jonah and Zeynep form and guide their path for a while. Is it your wedding, a story about an imagined couple, or is it just that you went through Wedding and got caught up in some special sounds?
