For this first episode of Heartstrings, questions drifted like autumn leaves: should I focus on just one or two musical horizons, or open the windows to a broader landscape? Should these two hours be a solitary journey, or one to share? How to structure this flow of sounds and emotions? Would a strict genre approach serve the music better than an intuitive one?

But like a river naturally finding its course, the answer revealed itself: invite Behrang, an artist and trusted friend, for the second part of the journey. And for my part, let emotions guide the musical selection, with no constraints other than those of the heart.
