All the music is based on a futuristic, autobiographical look at music, the part it plays in our pre-earth, human & after life. Accepting that music is incorporated in our souls, it's up to the individual body in which it lives, to nurture & develop this unearthly sense as he is told, in order that, upon its return, another life may use it to advance the only true sense in this world of No Earthly Connections.
