1. Towards Unity. 0.59
(synthesizers, vibraphone and vocal samples, electric 9 string guitar, effects)
Voices beckon the listener in, and give a hint as to where we will end up.

2. Breathing. 7.49
(voices, electric 9 string guitar, synthesizers, temple bells, harmonizer, gong)
Temple bells herald the breathing section. The opening bass notes are a recurring motif through the album - I call the Balance Theme. Breathing I symbolised with 6 breathy voices which grow as this piece grows. Temple bells and gongs add to the air of ceremony. The ambient sound and electric 9 string guitar give an aquatic feel to this piece - like breathing freely underwater.

3. Balance 7.06
(voices, zithers, tin whistle, synthesizers)
This piece just sits in a timeless balanced suspension. The peaceful sound of two zithers occupy the foreground, with bass synthesizer balanced with tin whistle, each giving the other windows to shine. 3 voices singing "Om" bookend this section - they return now and again throughout the album.

4. A Journey Within 11.30
(piano, low whistle, voices, synthesizers, percussion, vibraphone & tabla samples)
This long piece is a multistage journey. Solo piano first, then joined by vibraphone adding gentle motion. After "Om", a bass drum joins - like a heartbeat. At the next "Om" - the vibraphone is replaced by undulating synthesizer - a deeper part of the journey. Another "Om" and the tabla drums enter - like footsteps. We are moving confidently now. Then the low whistle enters for a flight - looking down on it all. Slowly all the other instruments fade away on a final low "Om", and we are left alone with the low whistle.

5. Freedom 5.59
(low whistle, theremin, synthesizers)
The low whistle after it's reverie takes off and is joined by a rich low lead synthesizer which takes the flight higher where it is joined after a time by a descending theremin (which sounds similar) - the two circle around each other and intertwine. Flying free. The theremin is an electronic instrument invented in 1920 played by moving your hands through the air - a perfect freedom for me as a musician.

6. Wisdom 7.35
(acoustic 9 string guitars, voices, synthesizers)
After "Om", an ambient sound begins which immediately to me suggested a feeling of ancient wisdom. Two rippling acoustic 9 string guitars delicately rise out of this sound giving a flowing feel to the music. 3 voices join and grow stronger, ending in "Om"s.

7. Peace 2.03
(voices, electric 9string guitar, synthesizers, temple bells)
The aquatic feel and Balance Theme from Breathing returns - this time accompanied by variously harmonized sung "Om"s. This is a brief corridor of peace heralding the final section.

8. Unity/Brahman 7.18
(synthesizers, vibraphone and vocal samples, electric 9 string guitar, effects)
We have arrived at the place we glimpsed in the opening track. Long suspended shifting chords of voices and electric 9 string guitar glide like clouds with echoing vibraphone sounds rising out from underneath. All spiralling down to one note - one voice. Unity.
