Taking its title — Natura Morta — from the Italian for ‘still life,’ the album seeks to explore art as a pathway between nature and our ability to judge and observe.

Channeling elements of library music, Natura Morta combines chamber orchestrals with a jazz ensemble.

It follows his Wabi Sabi album last year, also on Piano Piano.
