After reading the following quote by writer Charles Eisenstein, I instantly realised that what the quote describes has always been my approach to writing music. The quote contains a paradox, though paradoxes do themselves form part of reality. With this in heart and mind, I set out to write a piece for Nathan which expresses the intention of the quote, while engaging in the wonderful sound-colours he creates so beautifully.

“If I write something that is really beautiful, that is more beautiful than it has to be, it probably actually serves what it has to be even better than I understand.”

-- Charles Eisenstein
