about

This is music for contemplation. Each composition is built around a slow, extended circular movement. This music is intended to support your connection to the present moment, to our world and to yourself.

01. Earth:
“Earth symbolizes stability and continuity. Its emphasis is on making peace with a hard, unyielding world. (...) endlessly building, crystallizing, and perfecting.”
02. Fire:
“(Fire)... is the principle of action. Like springtime, its spirit is one of outrushing energy, charging into the cosmos, shattering all that stands in its way.”
03. Water:
“Water is the principle of nurturance and protection. Outwardly, its spirit is one of warmth: inwardly, of imagination and intuition. With its penetrating, sensitive quality, water’s primary function is to feel.”
04. Air:
“In air we find perceiving, reasoning, connecting - the mental functions. Its tone is one of unending curiosity, of detachment and clarity of perception. More than any other element, air is aware that beyond itself lies the unknown.”

Element characteristics borrowed from “The Inner Sky” by Steven Forrest.

Thank you to the teaching plants and animals.
