What is the essence of pure sound? Perhaps it mirrors the innocence of a newborn entering the world, the clarity of gazing up at a pristine blue sky, the tranquility of watching sunlight dance on an endless shoreline, or even the ethereal tones of an angel’s voice.

Inspired by the purest sound in the world, we ask ourselves: what could be more unadulterated than the key of C major? It feels akin to our longing to return to the innocence of childhood, to rediscover our original essence and the purity of our very first intentions.
