• Program Notes:
It is in the pursuit of a resilient catalyst spark,
one that will transcend the unsound cyclic nature of uncertainty,
that the afterlight reveals a retaliating barrenness adorned with thorns.
(responsorial)
Bottomless mudcracks penetrate the viscera of the imagined world. 
Yet, in absence, life treads forwards, whispers rise as unwavering chants.
The beauty of the scorched land lies in the abundance of juxtaposed 
impossibilities.
Still, the soul wanders amidst harsh epiphanies that unfold their coarse
truth.
Fate, for now, is adjourned.
