Transcendence is a musical journey in three movements that parallels key aspects of life as one explores self-actualization - the fulfillment of one’s talents and potentialities and the widening of one’s activities to include the flourishing of others. In this manner one transcends solely individual wants and enlarges one’s circle of influence and activities to include the wider world.

Seeds of Time (10 minutes) represents the need for “Security.” This movement begins with dense and heavy material, centering around the themes of safety, shelter and protection. This is an essential area of life that must be satisfied for us to pursue higher callings. The piece ends by exploring a sonic representation of self-esteem and acceptance of one’s self.
