"This record is a homage to Maurice Ravel's music, which taught me form over function, texture within abstraction, and above all, emotions before intellect." - Rittik Wystup

Miroirs refers to the same-titled five-movement collage for piano, composed by Maurice Ravel in 1905.

The record encompasses natural, acoustic, analogue, and digital sound sources/modifiers, and makes excessive use of the piano's reverberation capabilities. It is based on two motifs, which are linked harmonically, but presented individually in four different settings. Impressions of southern France, especially those of the seaside and the Pyrenees, find their way into the pieces in various forms. Together, the tracks form an opus of their own, with the piano acting as the cohesive element across.

Miroirs is a sonic reflection – of thoughts, perceptions, and most of all, emotions.
