Beauty and danger echo from the hills, as they have for eternity. Distant thunder rolls off the mountains. Hypnotic acoustic guitar tones are accentuated by low drums and shimmering cymbals.

Scattered storms are moving closer. In the moment of crime, time stands still. A slow-rolling, low-tuned banjo propels this tune toward impending release.

Danger and hopeful excitement live next to each other. A modal pattern builds into the major feel of a Celt-inspired tune that is at home in the old and the new world.

Rhythmically charged guitar and banjo patterns lead to a chromatic motif that may at any second, fall off of the Highland cliff.

Slow, interwoven guitar lines move through a reverb-drenched valley. Shades of light are changing with the overtones of a glassy synth pad.

Some melodies appear to be as old as the mountains, and as hypnotic as the rise and fall of the wind that blows across them. Guitar and banjo answer each other in an ancient dialog to the rhythm of the universal drum.

At the end of every conflict comes a calm release, a forward motion toward the positive. Conflict and resolve belong together like wind and field.
