Paper Kites is a twelve-piece instrumental story about an eight-year-old, a handmade kite, and one long afternoon beneath an open sky. The journey begins at a kitchen table, where folded paper slowly becomes something that might fly. From there, the child runs into the field, struggles with the wind, learns to guide the string, watches the kite rise above rooftops, loses momentum, finds it again, and finally lets go. Each piece follows a different moment in that story, moving from curiosity and playfulness to wonder, stillness, renewal, and release. It is a story about making something with your own hands, holding on long enough to help it rise, and knowing when to let it fly on its own.
