This music is my offering to all beings. We all suffer, it is part of the human condition. But we need not suffer alone. My hope for this music is that it connects us. May it offer you a moment of peace and alleviate some of
your suffering. And as any creator would want, I hope you find it interesting.
This album is dedicated to my mom, Marie Bellantese.
