A moment of contemplation and reflection. Let the human mind mirror what surrounds us.
A lush, modern, intimate extravaganza of being at one with nature.
This album tells the story of someone who is meditating, reflecting on nature. Their imaginations take them to the creation of the Earth itself, forming from cosmic matter, to the creation of life, and eventually, consciousness. This journey is as much created (imagined) by the person meditating, as it was by forces greater than ourselves.
This album has a garden-path structure, to reflect a mind being pulled by nothingness to thoughts, and finding satisfaction from doing so. The flow of the album (and each song) is intended to be unexpected but smooth.
