Widow represents a Cinematic approach to Tribal & Deep Techno music. 
Cicada represents Tribal & Atmospherical senses that support the Widow project.

As this futuristic society develops, the need to hold on to natural works of art increases. From the simple sounds of 2 birds conversing during the evening, to the tone of raging waters around the Pacific Ocean, the importance of authenticity is represented within these recordings.
