Threshold: Entrancending; Incantascence

Story Behind The Song

In live performance, this piece is actually performed in a rather visually stunning manner -- with two cellists playing together on a single instrument. That visual image was the original inspiration to write the piece.

Song Description

Throughout this piece, there is a fluctuation between classical harmonies and modern dissonances. This oscillation in and out of a stable sound is a metaphor for the journey two people must take in order to truly share their souls with each other.
