I had set out to create a meditations/ambient record, and this was the result. I started in early 2022, and finished it by the end of the summer.

It has 5 tracks, all roughly 20 minutes in length:

Nocturn I : The Sun Never Says
Nocturn II : Nothing Gold Can Stay
Nocturn III : À La Belle Étoille
Nocturn IV : Passages
Nocturn V : Lost At Sea

The Sun Never Says is a poem by Persian poet Hafiz:

Even after all this time
The sun never says to the earth,
“You owe Me.”
Look what happens with
A love like that,
It lights the Whole Sky.

Nothing Gold Can Stay is one of my favorite poems by Robert Frost:

Nature’s first green is gold,
Her hardest hue to hold.
Her early leaf’s a flower;
But only so an hour.
Then leaf subsides to leaf.
So Eden sank to grief,
So dawn goes down to day.
Nothing gold can stay.
