about

In listening to this album, I find myself taken off to different states of consciousness, and somehow “Big Bang” seems always to wake me gently back into myself – shifted somewhat, but functionally back again in my “Life”. I hope you enjoy the experience, and please communicate with me any interesting moments that occur for you as you listen!
