    Thank you very much! It's a kind of crossover between folk, ambient and electronica. I like to call it "elvish post-minimalism".

    This video appeared as a synchronicity. I was imagining myself standing in front of a mirror. I was thinking of mirrors and reflections. And that’s when I saw this video with that artwork.
