Field Notes: Velvet Swing

A sensory journal curated by MUSE.TV

Jazz isn’t just a sound here — it’s an atmosphere. Velvet Swing drapes summer nights in satin shadow and golden brass, letting every note linger like smoke beneath a back-room light.

Strings rest against velvet. A saxophone hums in slow hush. Sequins catch the glow of stage lamps, and handwritten charts wait for the next improvisation. This moodboard moves at the tempo of a heartbeat after midnight — steady, warm, unhurried.

Visual textures trade in intimacy:
silver stagewear and pearls,
amber spotlights through rising smoke,
patina-rich instruments in quiet repose.

Music drifts close to the ear: brushed drums, velvet piano, and a horn line that knows how to wait. It’s a portrait of presence, of heat that never shouts, of glamour cut with memory.

Let the scene tune you inward.
Let the brass color the dark.

Field Notes: Velvet Swing
a summer made for after-hours glow.

🎷 Midnight in Vermilion
A jazz album for after-hours glow.

When the world quiets, color deepens.
Midnight in Vermilion is a jazz score for the spaces between — where brass flickers like candlelight and shadows stretch in silk.

This is not jazz for the stage. It’s jazz for the in-between:
Rooms where lipstick lingers on glass, where footsteps echo softly behind red velvet drapes, and where stories unfold in smoky hushes and amber keys.

Think upright bass under dim bulbs. Muted horns like memory.
A slow walk home past midnight, heels clicking through puddles of neon.

Each track hums with sultry restraint — Chet Baker elegance, Norah Jones intimacy, Miles Davis stillness — reimagined for the modern moodboard.

Tone:
Cinematic · Smoky · Luxurious · Intimate
Best paired with vintage sequins, candlelit corners, and nights that don’t ask for words.

A slow burn for the after-hours soul.

Field Notes: The Climb Within

A study in quiet strength, The Climb Within invites you into a layered sensory world where music, movement, and stillness converge. This entry of Field Notes explores the emotional terrain of reflection and resilience — not as spectacle, but as essence.

At its center, Giorgio Armani's visual narrative grounds the experience in effortless precision — a return to roots, where form becomes feeling. The textures of line, motion, and minimalism echo through a soundscape composed by Emilio Piano and Wojciech Urbański, whose orchestral score carries us through elegance with gravity.

Woven into this visual journal is Chance Peña’s The Mountain Is You — a softly raw, achingly intimate track featured in Running Point, Episode 10. Together, these elements form a quiet reckoning — a mood not simply curated, but deeply felt.

This is a place to pause. To listen with your eyes.
To feel what cannot be spoken — only scored.

🎧 The Mountain Is You – Chance Peña

As featured in Episode 10 of Running Point

Softly raw. Achingly clear.
Each lyric unfolding like a quiet reckoning, echoing the inward journey.

Glimpses of carriages, the steam of a locomotive ready to depart, stairs, tracks, and vaulted ceilings: the new Giorgio Armani campaign evokes the essence of the New York show set in a railway station. A place of meetings, departures and arrivals and a theatre of infinite stories.

Performed by: Emilio Piano, Lucie

Music: Emilio Piano, Wojciech Urbański, Lili Poe, Józef Rusinowski

Field Notes: A Slow Summer Spark

A sensory journal curated by MUSE.TV

This is summer with the volume turned down — a quiet brightness where time unspools like ribbon and meaning lingers in the margins. A Slow Summer Spark is not a celebration in noise, but in nuance. It’s the flutter of sheer curtains in golden light, the hush of water at dusk, the hum of something old and familiar returning without urgency.

The textures here are soft and cinematic: linen, glass, wild grass, warm wood. Music drifts in like a whisper — delicate guitar lines, feminine vocals, and room to breathe — guiding us not toward nostalgia, but toward presence.

This moodboard lives between memory and movement. Between reflection and reverie.

It’s not simply about the fourth — but about the feeling that drifts through the summer.

A spark, slow by design.
A season you feel more than you see.

Soft Season

A quiet soundtrack for long afternoons and golden light.

Led by breathy, ethereal vocals and soft acoustic textures, Soft Season captures the hush behind the heat — a melodic journal of memory, movement, and moments that linger.

Think ambient folk meets dreamlike indie — for the days that hum instead of shout.

Perfect for slow drives, open windows, and finding your way back to stillness.
