Music adapted from Matthew Mercer’s Meditative Story, "The magic that ripples out when we share our passions with others."

A pan-like flute sets an invitation to a world of possibility and wonders to explore. Delicate strings and open synth keys entice down a path unknown, toward verdant nooks and crannies that lay just around the corner of awareness. A soothing piano melody suggests that the day's tasks can be put aside for playful dreaming. Flutes rise in crescendo, and warm vibrations reveal lush and magical forest trails awaiting footfall. Spritely flutes call to the wise and knowing sense within, that we're safe, and seen, and heard. Repeating waves of looping bass and piano feel at once nostalgic and knowing, grounded in this moment. Trumpets hail all good hearts and are countered by an insistent piano melody reaching out across vast spaces. The returning synth theme nudges the young one within, eager to remind us we already know how to play.

Original music from composer Ryan Holladay.
