Composing "Hide and Seek" was a delightful journey for me. From the outset, I aimed to infuse this piece with the positive thoughts and energy reminiscent of a child's spirit.
My intention was to evoke memories of one's own childhood in both an exhilarating and nostalgic manner. In today's fast-paced world, we often neglect to reflect on our past experiences. However, reminiscing about our personal history is crucial. It grounds us, prompting introspection about our present selves and the evolution we have undergone over the years. Above all, it is essential to acknowledge that within each of us, regardless of age, resides a playful inner child yearning to emerge from time to time.
