Album Notes & Community Reviews

A breathtakingly peaceful, highly meditative instrumental summit uniting Mary Lattimore's cascading harp with Walt McClements's delicate accordion and synthesizer work. Drawing heavily from neoclassical new age and the subtle textures of chamber folk, the remarkably hypnotic compositions mimic the gentle, repetitive patter of rain. It is a profoundly soothing, incredibly atmospheric collaborative masterclass.
