Instrumental piece sure to delight. Entrancing riffs create a wonderful montage of themes and solos. This all played on the Chapman Grand Stick. Don's instrument is also midi-ed to further enhance the arrangement with simultaneous keyboard sounds. When played live Don would add his bass peddles to incorporate the low end taurus bass pedal sounds.

Heartfelt song and a classic. Exotic 'rim drum' sets the pace as the lyrics and music take your places.

Performed on the NS/Stick a song of poetic existence.

The roar of the silence, the inner quiet so loud it permeates your thoughts into dreams and action. The Silence Speaks So Loud.

Don remembers writing this in Stockholm, sitting in an apartment he was staying at. November 9th his birthday, a long way from home and very cold out. A song of dreams and the hope of things to come.

A nice ride through moments unsaid, yet loudly heard. Another lovely example of the Grand Stick midi-ed in all its glory.

Exotic piece of music originally intended for a movie of the same name. The film never got beyond the screenplay however the music did.

A real treat and surprise as the "Stick" inventor himself "Emmett Chapman" plays this piece as a prelude to the next song. Wonderful and classically Emmett in sound and style. Don is honored to him guest on this album.

Enchanting ride through sounds, textures and song.

Just like bookends, we re-visit the first song however this ends in a blaze of solos.
