This album is a representation of metaphysical transformation and the potential for radical healing. Initially inspired by the re-growth of bone after a break, the composer used this starting point to simultaneously engage the processes of physical and deep emotional healing. The sonic progression represents a cycle of continual change, constantly shifting and delighting in ambiguity and the discomfort that can accompany the process of change. While envisioned by the composer in 4+ stages, it is presented as one to allow for obscurity on the edges and luxuriation in transitions. There are two names for each stage, each pair representing
physical/palpable and emotional/spiritual aspects. You can follow the piece from either standpoint, or flow freely between them as you feel.
The stages as conceived here are:
1. incidence/prayer
2. dissolution/everything falls apart
*gathering of elements*
3. reconstitution/alchemy
4. coalescence/re-cognition
