“Once the rhythms were complete, I brought in the other musicians who helped to reveal the natural form of each piece. The musicians who took part in this project all have a deep respect for rhythm, which is exhibited in the interplay of the melodic instruments with the percussion. Many times I abandoned my initial ideas of the direction I wanted the music to take as new rhythmic and melodic elements were added. I didn¹t want the music to be forced into any pre-conceived images I might have had, therefore confining it to one reference point. That is why I decided to bypass conventional titles for any of the pieces. I want the listener to start in a neutral space of his or her own experience.” Greg Ellis
