"Happiness. It was the place where passion, with all its dazzle and drumbeat, met something softer: homecoming and safety and pure sunbeam comfort. It was all those things, intertwined with the heat and the thrill, and it was as bright within her as a swallowed star." ~ Laini Taylor

about

The album GLOSS is the premier release of 2021s compositions. These are 24bit Masters.

Glosses were originally notes made in the margin or between the lines of a text in a classical language; the meaning of a word or passage is explained by the gloss. As such, glosses vary in thoroughness and complexity, from simple marginal notations of words one reader found difficult or obscure, to interlinear translations of a text with cross references to similar passages.

So in turn the collection of compositions on this album have the quality of a glossator writing in the margins for future readers, using ancient definitions to culturally obsolete languages in order to deepen our perspective and experience by all that words can convey.
