Quite simply, this is about unconditional love and all that it accepts. What you hear is the first draft of a song that was written in 20 minutes. This song exemplifies the mystery within music. All I did was think about what it meant to love unconditionally, and poof! This song came out of me and has not been altered since.

Like 15 Aftermaths, this song uses some delay and a phaser modulation in the beginning, but when the bowing begins, it is pure viola.

Translated as “a flash of light” in Zulu, this song is written both out of frustration and of passion. Frustration with apathy, and passion for the warriors of the world who fight the good fight. As I play I repeat to myself, “If you keep going, I’ll keep going.”

Unabi is one track, with no loops, no effects.

The magic of youth, idealism and love. Sometimes I imagine a sandbox within an emerald when I perform this piece, sometimes I think of other bits of beauty.

The power to create, the power to destroy… You hold both in your hands.

Crux is a multi-track recording, so when heard live, this song alters slightly due to the live looping. Very little effects are used. A lower octave is added at times.

A “Succor” is one who comes to aid in a time of need; the quiet hero who stealthily helps from the shadows.
