lush work, love the slow build in intensity. Wonderful piece : )

A pretty build of ambient strings! The Climax is much anticipated! Nicely defused outro! 🙌🏻😎😎😎🔁😊❣❣❣

Incredible & epic soundscape. Remarkable ambiance.🙏

wonderful drama. It was expressed as a collection of musical sounds. The sea in spring and something that comes down from the heavens are clearly visible in the image of the sound. Great song! !

Many years ago (at the age of 21), I started dating this really cool girl. A few weeks into the relationship, I naturally wanted her to know me better, so I decided to share one of my favorite hobbies. One evening, with precision gaming Fung Shui, I configured the dining room table for an optimized evening of Advanced Dungeons & Dragons; and I began an adventure for her and a few of our friends. I thought it was going well. But unfortunately, after a few sessions, she indicated she wasn’t too hip on my ’mind-numbingly tedious, micro-rules’ play-style (apparently not all people enjoy having the spontaneity squeezed out of an exciting moment, while the Dungeon Master rummages through the rulebooks). It was a hard lesson to learn. My love of gaming rules and nano-details was not as fascinating (or sexy) as I first imagined.

Fast forward 30 years. That girl (despite having a great deal of common sense), is still sitting by my side. And although I was never able to amaze her with the ‘pen and paper’ world of gaming (a hobby that now resides exclusively with our oldest daughter); we both love geeking out over the latest video games. I’ll take that. :D

Interestingly though… one D&D concept stuck. And she recently told me she uses this in real life… and on a regular basis. It is the idea of ‘disbelieving’, as a conscious action (choosing to see past the illusion before you). Seems like a strange idea, I know. But in a fantasy world, that’s how you get past the illusionary dragon guarding the treasure; or avoid the siren song lulling you to your doom. 

And ya know what? She’s right. Disbelief is actually a cleverly disguised life practice awaiting our usage. 

Am I suggesting we can disbelieve ourselves right out of the visible illusion? Pop from the Holo-Deck? Probably not (but I’m not sure about that yet). One thing we can do is disbelieve that it has to be this way; that we have to be this way.

Navigating this life requires a certain willingness to commit to the agreed upon illusion. Every day, we wake up into this man-made idea (and lets face it, this really is the product of men, not women). Every day, we watch our fears grow… “I gotta secure mine. Cuz there isn’t enough to go around”. We find ourselves fighting over the strangest of things (see: COVID Toilet Paper Days). And depending on which side of the fence you occupy, it is absolutely undeniable… the other side is out of their minds, and entirely to blame. It’s a mighty convincing illusion; and I honestly spend way too much time lost in it.

But that’s just it. I’m tired of being lost in the illusion. Believing in the current illusion requires a strong investment in fear. And I don’t have the strength for that anymore. I suspect many of you feel the same way. So for just a moment (or perhaps 24 hours a day), let's play with the idea of disbelieving this is all there is. Disbelieving is a great way to see past the illusion. And when the dragon disappears… we can finally get to the treasure. 

I hope you enjoy my latest musical effort, ‘I Disbelieve’. :)

I set out to make a light and sensible track. This happened instead.

"Zero" is the third track of "Zero Generations Left – Volume Venerable," but it was the second track I've created for this soundtrack.

This piece was made in November of 2021, and due to the sheer size of this project, for a long time I called it my longest and loudest song!
It was honestly the first time I'd had to do mixing on one of my songs, and I think even years later it sounds pretty good for my first time!
