Opening track in the "Seven Dreams of the Orb Weaver" album https://soundcloud.com/skai-eriksson/sets/seven-dreams-of-the-orb-weaver.  The album has been reworked, remastered, and released in collaboration with the charitable music project Playing to Pitch In.

This track serves as a prelude to the rest and for the subsequent track "Ocean Star" in particular.  The rest of the album is rather dark and emotional, so in this prelude I aimed for something light, calm, and peaceful with just a hint at some of the later darker themes.  The impressionist-style waterfall just after the middle of the song is indeed Debussy-inspired (it is just a simple pentatonic pattern similar to ones that appear in plenty of songs, but for me this type of pentatonic run is iconic of Debussy's Arabesque).  The 6/4 time signature gives a little extra space to elaborate on this riff, and I was pleased with how it sounds as a resolution to the cadence leading up to it.  While the song has a shifting tonal center, it is certainly not as tonally destabilized as Debussy's music, and this (along with the simplicity of the locomotive rhythm) affords an opportunity to prepare the listener for a climactic sense of arrival as the pentatonic run appears.   I wanted the middle section of the song to offset the minimalism that is present at the beginning and end of the song, and this Debussy-style riff serves as a nice centerpiece for that.

Winter Insomnia

You will come to me when the sun will rise
And the snow's glistening on the trees
It came suddenly and has changed the world
Now everything is yet untold

Whispers and the snow falling from the sky
Never ending flow of sighs
Drifting through the night, dancing in the light
Slow descending from the high

Ever changing light of dawn
Lifting darkness from my heart
Even if for little while
Just forget the world and smile

Maybe one more time
I begin again
Maybe one more time
Again

Maybe I will try
Again
Maybe I begin
Again

The track picture is a common sight in the canyons of Colorado, and probably all of the Rocky Mountain states.  The sun can be shining while driving in the canyon, but miles ahead there could have been a torrential rainstorm that triggered a flash flood and it is coming...quickly.  You literally have to abandon your vehicle and climb the canyon wall or get washed away.  
The sign and song are metaphorical as well.  When flash floods of circumstance happen in our lives, we must seek higher ground so as not to be washed away in the emotional maelstrom.  Such was the case with Pat and his cancer diagnosis twenty months ago, and with my good friend and collaborator Elmer Stone who unexpectedly lost his beloved wife Bonnie a few days ago.  They are seeking and finding higher ground in their faith, families, and friends.  
A big thank you to Pat for sending me the "ditty" a while back but recently rediscovered that serves as the "higher ground" in the song.

Possibly a stolen story about nine castles. There are so many protagonists in it, in this story...I recommend you ALL (even if it may be heavy fare for one or the other) to visit this young man https://soundcloud.com/user-823746278 in order to understand the background of the story....

Nine castles, nine countries, nine swords... ONE saga!

Incredibly good all this! This is my story about first castle "Lonayth"...listen well. More intricacies follow... 
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Möglicherweise eine geklaute Geschichte über neun Burgen. Es kommen so viele Protagonisten in ihr vor, in dieser Geschichte...ich empfehle euch ALLEN (auch wenn es für den ein oder anderen schwere Kost sein mag), diesen jungen Mann https://soundcloud.com/user-823746278  zu besuchen, um die Hintergründe der Geschichte zu verstehen...

Neun Burgen, neun Länder, neun Schwerter... EINE Sage!

Unglaublich gut all dies! Dies ist meine Geschichte zur ersten Burg "Lonayth"...hört gut zu. Es folgen weitere Verwicklungen...

Friend Or Foe (Lonayth)

Because of the Marshal's popularity in the first installment, we thought a sequel would be fun as he embarks on another daring mission of bringing Old-West law and order to another planet where criminal mischief has broken down the rule of celestial law. Central Galactic Intelligence(CGI)received a frantic call for help that anarchists had taken over a peaceful and prosperous world and needed the Marshal to set things right.  The track begins with him and his crew (Curtis, Seagull, and David)being cleared for takeoff.
A big thank you to Curtis Gremmel(center-left in the mix) for his superb playing, Seagull @farout-music-studio for his visionary and production expertise, and Clara for being the angelic voice of CGI.

I grew up in the Florida Keys where both of my parents worked as musicians in the entertainment business.  My grandmother taught me to play the piano at an early age.  I ended up pursuing a career in mathematical research and teaching, but in my free time I enjoy composing music mainly for piano.
