This was recorded at a time in my life when so much was uncertain. I had just lost my job, and my wife, Olivia was due to have our baby soon. Our security felt threatened, and we didn't know what the future held. I wanted to play something that would wrap Olivia up in a warm wash of sound and serenity, a musical cocoon amidst the tumultuous winds of change. The instruments this song was played on are called RAV Vast. I combined a G Pygmy and an A Integral RAV Vast to create a more complete scale recorded with two microphones to make an immersive stereo recording. I played with mallets to bring out an especially calm and beautiful tone from the instruments.
