They were traveling for almost 8 years after death of the Knight and his daughter...The old Wounded Healer and The Young Man.
Long years of fighting dark creatures and curing people from the cruel illness brought both of them deep under ground, almost to the center of the world.

There, as if far from the very last soul of the earth, was a giant garden.
It was a garden of white flowers and colossal trees with white leafs. It felt like this place was the frozen in time memory of the past somewhere very far from the world they both knew for the whole time. It was so beautiful...

For some reasons, The Young Man and The Wounded Healer both understood that it is the end. They finally found the source of the problem. All that was left is to find where it comes from.

They were breaking through every dark creature they see on their way. Every last one of them was weak against our heroes, driven by one and only purpose. They were unstoppable after all they've been through.

And far away, somewhere in the end of the Garden, there was a giant Heart, patiently waiting for someone to find it here, deep under ground, in the center of this world. To tell them the bitter truth, they both was afraid of to find out in the end...

Truth That Lies Ahead

Quartet + Sonata

String Quartet in A Major - Movement 3

Before You Were Real and Sugar Raffle

This track marks the turning point of the Pandemic Suite:
After the melancholy of the preceding sections, mourning the loss, weakness, the loneliness, after sinking into retreat and memory, comes now the rebound.
Out of nothingness, out of the darkness, the sunrise begins to shimmer— a symbol of new beginnings and awakening trust. 
This composition grows from the depths of the doublebasses, it lets chords rise, blossoming into a radiant orchestral sound that reveals beauty before the eyes and stirs hope for what lies ahead.

Pandemic Suite – 22. Let the Sun Rise

This instrumental track builds on a collaboration with my brother https://soundcloud.com/skai-eriksson/desert-odyssey-acoustic-guitar-and-piano 
The original song just had acoustic guitar and piano.  Torben Fugger heard the song on SC and took it to a new level of orchestration adding tasty slide+electric guitar work.  At that point it sounded like it needed some low end, and Wayne Cribbs stepped in to add a tasteful bass guitar track.

You can listen to Torben's other elegant orchestral music on SC: @torben-fugger

Desert Odyssey (w/ additions by Torben Fugger and Wayne Cribbs)

Sonata No.1 Op.42

harmonica, saxo, pour évoquer cette voix aimée qui prenait soin de nous, et la mélancolie des jeux d'été, interrompus à regret par la tombée du soir; bref une certaine idée du bonheur, toute simple, qu'on garde au fond de soi

allez les enfants! il se fait tard, il faut rentrer

Melodies like water running along a bedrock of echoes--tributaries that diverge and meet again and again through space and time.
