III. The Seer and the Seen VII. Wind that Cracks the Leaves
IV. Kingdom of the Shades VIII. Two Towers

"The poetic manipulations here reflect upon this  life-world as  an often traversed habitation.  The  enigmas of nostalgia,  impermanence, and  existential transcendence  are recurrent.  Musically,  the  arrangements portray a pensive cyclical polyphony whereby each constituent enfolds within another, evincing an integral geometric symmetry.  
This collection is at once the most simple and the most involved of all my work."
 -Composer/Conductor B'eirth
