1. SHIFTING LANDSCAPES 00:02:12 UNCERTAINTY PERVADES THIS PIECE WHICH NEVER REALLY SETTLES EVEN AS NOTES FALL AS RAPIDLY AS A WATERFALL IN A HIDDEN GLADE.
-
2. OUT OF STILLNESS 00:02:36 CONTEMPLATIVE. DELICATE TREBLE NOTES GIVE WAY SOMETHING TO SOMETHING DEEPER AND MORE URGENT, ONLY TO CONCLUDE ON A LIGHT WHISPER.

3. PRELUDE TO INFINITY 00:02:08 ARPEGGIOS TWIST AND TURN IN HYPNOTIC SWIRL LIKE EDDIES IN A GALAXY.

5. CRACKS IN THE SILENCE 00:02:52 NOTES TRIP OVER EACH OTHER TENTATIVELY. HESITATIONS GIVE WAY TO MORE IMPASSIONED GESTURES BEFORE SHYNESS RETURNS.

6. BETWEEN THE SPACES 00:03:03 AN OUTPOURING OF MELANCHOLY CREATES STORMS BENEATH A TRANQUIL SURFACE.
-
7. SIGNALLING HOME 00:02:16 THE MESSAGE ENCODED IN A SINGLE REPEATED NOTE IS SENT OUT INTO SPACE, BUT IT MUST TRAVEL FAR. WILL IT EVER REACH ITS DESTINATION?
-
8. FALLING OBJECTS 00:02:34 A RAINDROP-LIKE FALL OF NOTES INTENSIFY UNTIL THE DOWNPOUR EASES AND THE CLOUDS BEGIN TO CLEAR.

-
10. STAR CATCHERS 00:02:11 SPARKLING ARPEGGIOS THRUST US INTO A MAGICAL LANDSCAPE WHERE OPPORTUNITIES ARE ENDLESS, BUT NOT WITHOUT DANGER.
