STATES, BOOK 2

The first book of states depicted turbulent and chaotic feelings. This one strikes back at it by imparting states of elation, epiphany, and growth. It answers the despondent searching and struggling against uncertainty by inspiring a pervading sense of optimism and internal evolution to a higher level of existence. The pieces are true opposites to the first set on a structural level as well, being improvised within predetermined scales, which on a personal level marks a first excursion into formal melodic structure.
