Ode to Impermanence is a love letter to the nature of the universe that is forever arising and passing away. Musically, it depicts a journey of growth, from a place of anxiety and confusion to one of being at peace within the world. On a personal level, it is an expression of recovering from depression, and the progressive discovery of the fundamental magic of being. This music is deeply informed by experiences of meditation and Buddhist teachings. It bows to the realization that change is the essence of existence, that life and death are two sides of the same coin.
