This piece incorporate more Orchestral elements such as The Piano and strings. It still maintains the Heavily Pan Centric atmosphere but Includes Live drums and a Stand up bass along with the Strings and Piano to give a brand New dimension and Dynamic to the Album. This helps emote specific feelings of uncertainty in the beginning to feelings of Triumph toward the end of the piece. A Very Thought Provoking Piece.

09. Anti - Matter Aurora

This piece was the very first composed for this album and even this style. It started of with one pan playing an Ostinato and slowly building them in with counterpoint and layering them on top of one another in different incarnation and groups, which came to be the Method & Approach for the rest of the Album. Being that the 5 Pans were all ostinado based in short phrases I chose to freestyle a Melody on Steel drums Doubled by a Sitar and Heavily messed with the Panning and effects on them. Then Came writing the Percussion grooves. 2 Electronic Kits were used: one for more exotic percussion, and one for more traditional Electronic/Hip Hop elements which then works perfectly with the Thick Bass Synth that Holds down the bottom end and adds a new character to the Piece. It Layers out Similar to the way it Layers it Very Symmetrical like Many other pieces on the record.

08. Solar Solace

Wormhole is a great break up of the Album being a around the mid point. It starts off with a cool funky synth Pad until  drum set Doubled by a electronic Drumsetet for Phatness enters with a Huge Phat Synth Bass, and a Heavily tremolo-ed single Melody Pan, and a Screaming Phased Lead Guitar. Then In the 2nd section the Synth Pad drops Out and 4 Breath Mallets start layering in from bottom to top creating a very emotional atmosphere.  This is in Contrast to all other pieces on the Album where multiple Pans are the center and structure of the Piece while in this one it shares lead with a Guitar and The structure/Support is maintained by the Synth Pad or the Breath Mallets.

07. Wormhole

East Sky if One of My Favorite tracks not only because the Beautiful artwork Coincides with the track so well, but all the beautiful Melodies & Ostinatos that layer the piece together into a Gorgeous Aural Uplifting experience. It a nice transition as well as contrast from the previous exotic piece. Instruments Used in this piece are: 5 Pans; Low, Med Low, Med Med hi w/ Delay, and Hi; Wood Bass, Breath Mallets, a Sitar and Various Indian and Middle eastern Percussion and Drums.

05. East Sky

This piece is very Rhythmic incorporating Different Exotic Percussions Throughout the piece and layered on top of each other. It starts with a Low Pan establishing the Main theme followed by a Counterpoint Pan, then a stop introducing the first layer of Percussion which is the Ceramic Drum and Various African Hand Percussions. Once the groove is established the rest of the instruments enter: Egyptian Darbouka, African Drums, A Kalimba, The rest of the 5 Pans; Med , Hi Med, and Hi; as well as a Peruvian PanFlute and eventually bringing in Indian Tabla.

04. Along The Cosmic Nile

The 3rd piece on the album has a drastically different sound the previous 2 with specific sections that sound very longing to parts that sound very waltzy yet in 4, as well as having very poly-rhythmic drum grooves and still maintaining  a sense of hip-hop groove to them. Piece utilizes Two Different Electronic Drum-set Parts/Grooves the entire Piece (excluding break), A Picked Electric Bass, 5 Pans: Low, Low Med, Med, Hi Med, Hi; also Different atmospheric bell sounds.

03. Psycho - Tropic Nebulae

The 2nd Piece on "Aurora" starts with a nice Segue from the Intro Piece. This Segue uses The Wood Bass, a Bass Pan, a Harmony Pan, a Lead Pan and a Doubled Lead Pan with a Phaser. Then the piece continues with Drums and various Shakers throughout the Piece entering. Very Funky Groovy Rhythms with Reggae Impressions at times.

02. Liquid Galaxy

This is the Intro to the Cosmic Concept Album, "Aurora". It starts with one Pan playing arrhythmical and a Ambient Guitar helps end the Opening Passage. Re-enters the Pan with the main Theme being established followed by Some percussion, guitar and Phased Rhodes. Then the Drums, Wood Bass, and Melody Guitar come in and develop the Rest of the piece. Has very pretty and groovy rhythms sometimes with Caribbean/island type sound.

01. Inter - Dimensional (Intro)

This is the 6th piece on "Aurora". It is more of a ballad with a slower tempo and steady rhythm incorporating only 3 Pans: Bass Harmony and Melody, with triple layered ambient Guitars, a Phased Rhodes and different light exotic Percussion such as Indian Finger Cymbals, Jacaranda Udu & Shakers, Latin Shakers, and Irish Bodhran Drums.

06. Celestial Romance

This is the last/Bonus track on the Album "Aurora". It is entierly in 15/16 time throughout which gives a very cool feel and set ups really interesting rhythmic counterpoint, yet it still grooves very hard. The Instrumentation is 3 Pans: The Apreggio middle line, The Hi Melody, and the Bass Pan; Wood Bass, Jazz Organ, Drum-Set and Percussion: Congas Bongos Bells, Shakers and Maracas, etc.

12. Secret Universe (Bonus Track)

The Ancient Eternal's music is focused around specific exotic and electronic instrumentation. Very colorful, cosmic artwork that gives a visual representation to what the music is. The music is very rhythmically diverse while still maintaining specific hypnotically catchy harmonic and melodic ostinatos in stunning fugue type arrangements. but with a beautifully modern and exotically charged twist.
