Lingering in the Wrong Ending: Richard Green's Fragile Truth

In a little studio in London, the faint smell of beer and electricity lingers in the air, and Richard Green is on a quest for melody, much like guitarists try to be fast. However, he takes the opposite route, picking mood and texture over fast and flash; he would prefer ash than exploding fireworks.

Richard was born in Milan; since 2012 he has been shaped into who he is today in the concrete

passageways of London. He was built on discipline—a higher diploma, a degree as a musician, and many long nights of jumping between static sounds on monitors. His first projects were dark, restless experiments (such as Dark Horses), then he created a trilogy (A Journey, The Circle Closes, First Light), combining neoclassical

music (piano and strings) with modern production—none of them had ego. Melody has always driven him.

'The wrong way'—from Richard's Illusions EP—feels like it has more presence, more connection, and it is bittersweet, for it is about a relationship that did not survive 2023. It is very realistic; it is not dramatic but rather quiet, like the ashes that would sprinkle the concrete after the sound has faded. The main theme is sweet yet fragile and carries with it the weight of the saxophone and violin. These two instruments were recorded in both London and at Studio Elfo near Milan, and not one of them is excessive, every sound was put there with intention.

Richard has figured out a truth that many producers overlook: audiences will not like how perfect something is, but how true it is to their experience. The single we created does not demand to be noticed by people; it simply hangs around; it continues to play; it has a long-lasting impact.

Sometimes, love doesn't stop suddenly or dramatically.

It fades out.

The melody is the only part that is left.
