German composer and journalist Magdi Aboul-Kheir crafts a moving sound on “Found the Way,” a contemplative piano piece from his newly released album The Mirror of Truth. Rooted in minimalism and emotional clarity, the track reflects on connection, healing, and time’s quiet passage through spacious, resonant piano interplay and memorable expanses.
A sense of dramatic balladry is initially conveyed via slowly unveiling piano, though just momentary in its direction. A trickling stream of effervescence ensues as glistening piano work moves with colorful allure, like a rapidly flowing water current. Emotive keys ring out with melancholic intrigue, into the more solemn ascent to the two-minute mark. A lovely interaction between various piano layers consumes there, culminating in a series of reflectively melodic progressions that illuminate with harmonious, breezy enamoring.
The track’s midpoint commences another striking build, where a lush piano layer becomes gradually accompanied by flourishing additions — tonally shapeshifting from a somber feeling into one of more hopeful brightness. In the track’s thematic context — focusing on the passage of time, feelings, and human relationships — the various tonal shifts feel lovingly representative of life’s ebbs and flows. Filled with beautiful piano playing and satiating tonal maneuvers, “Found the Way” is a fully resonating output from Magdi Aboul-Kheir.
