After I travelled down so many roads the last couple of years I finally met this girl. 
To me she is beauty, she is inspiration, she is hope, she is love. She calls herself butterfly and since she fell in love with that song I dedicate it to her. So, this song is for you my butterfly, may you sit on my heart for a long and never forget how to fly !

When I initially saw this gate I thought of passing through it as if entering into a different world and so is the music...

This Version is my first cross instrumental collab on SC and I feel very honoured that Lyod put all his passion and feel into this song to let this song become a wonderful journey beginning right behind the gate entering into a strange and mystical world of sound....

Dirk Maassen - The Gate (Solo Piano Version)

I have known recently Dirk Maassen for his wonderful music and as a person.
Generous in any sense and deeply dedicated to his and other people work.
His piano, a bliss.
Here I have only contributed with an orchestral arrangement which was due to the inspiring song Dirk has created. A full collaboration will come soon.
Thank you Dirk
