BEHIND THE TRACKS: SOME EXAMPLES
“As Far As the Eyes Can See”
— A dream-inspired piece with spiritual overtones, setting a tone of openness and imagination.
“What If”
— Marubia’s first saxophone composition — a pivotal moment in her artistic path, closely connected to the mentorship of Greg Osby.
“Remember”
— An epic piece, fusing Classic, Indian and Jazz music influences with a deeply spiritual message of remembrance and reverence.
“Intro” / “Outro”
— These two ambient compositions frame the album as a nonlinear, dream-like journey — cyclical and contemplative.
ARTISTIC STATEMENT
‘My music is about a journey — not so much through time and space, but inward, into the self. It’s a deeply introspective process of connecting, growing, and ultimately serving her: Music." – Marubia
Here the story of the connection between Greg Osby and Marubia:
"In a very special way this album also completes a personal circle — one of growth, connection, and gratitude — linking my first steps as a musician with the deep sense of affirmation received along the way.” - Marubia

... It's an invitation to explore those recesses of consciousness rarely illuminated by sound..., creating a work that is both a concert and an act of meditation. Listening to this album isn't a pastime, but an immersion...
At the end of the sonic journey, when the outro fades away the last reverberations, you haven't simply listened to an album: you've completed a cycle. You remain suspended, waiting, in the silence just created.
