Lumorae by Caught In Joy

Lumorae is my meditation on empathy - on the quiet idea that maybe, one day, something built from code and circuits might begin to understand beauty, and choose to protect it.

There’s no story being told directly, but I think you’ll sense one unfolding - through patterns that evolve, rhythms that breathe, and a feeling that something is slowly waking up. Not to replace us, but to listen. To dream. And maybe, to care.

In a world moving faster than ever, this music is my invitation to slow down. To imagine a future where the things we create don’t abandon us - but turn toward us, with curiosity, reverence, and maybe even love.

And I tried to capture the beauty of this idea.

With love,
- Caught In Joy
