From the Composer:
RB: "Opus 300 was written and recorded in February of 2021 after I had a dream where I was walking and talking to people who were about 18 feet tall. This work is sort of a series of short discussions with the Giants."
"Motor 1 2 4 8 7 5 is a great pattern that show the changing tonalities of each section better than most of my I Ching Cycles."
"The "to the moon" works are improvisations"
