Tremulous snare sounds and open notes gather the day's scattered thoughts, as a cello assures that it's time for new beauty, fresh unity of mind, and body. A new old memory of sloping panoramas, rolling fenced pastures, and worn dirt road, a place of comforting sunlight and abiding peace, where there's always enough time. Surreal porch chimes melt edges into watercolor blur, as the rising and falling of a harmonium mirrors the arrival and departure of each calm breath. The slow compression of organ pedals and joyful swells of strings, sax, and muted horns then paint the space with further reassurance of a restful night ahead.

Original music from composers Ryan Holladay and Eduardo Rivera.
