“You of your gentleness, I of my rashness, both of despair -- Yet still might share this happy will: To love despite and still.” -Robert Graves This collection of songs invites the listener to revisit experiences of loneliness, seclusion, reconciliation, and happiness regardless of external circumstances. Save for song titles and a couple of cryptic guest vocal appearances, all lyrical (literary) cues have been removed, leaving behind the now-revitalized lyrical (musical) content to guide us out of the wilderness. Arrangements of these selections were developed as, and are realizations of the crafts of orchestration, improvisation and ensemble performance (listening).
