I composed Sojourner with the focused intention of specifically offering listeners a collection of imaginative and meditative quests that, hopefully, will take you to the deep listening and being zone within your listening space. And with every subsequent listen, perhaps even achieving a different experience by allowing the musical odyssey itself to be your destination. Additionally, Sojourner explores new levels of emotional intensity and tension without dipping into Dark Ambient. So while the music here explores a richer emotional intensity, I hope it still conveys the positive spiritual undercurrents and musical signature of my previous Light Ambient efforts. Finally, I added the self-directive: "Go as slow as you can go." My intention with the patient blooming of these tracks is to explore the musical character, nuance, expression, and emotion that unfold as the music is held to a slower pace — such as a breathing pace or the pace of waves washing onto a seashore. Sojourner is about ambient music that is focused, emotionally warm, and visceral, yet evenly paced for highly concentrated and deeply contemplative aural journeys. ~ PW - July 2013
