All are original compositions by Daniel Kobialka.

The timeless, pathless journey cannot be described in words, but its essence is the essence of a quantum whole. Intentions - those behind the creation of this album make it the perfect musical accompaniment to meditation.

The pathless journey is one with no beginning and no end, reaching out in all directions yet without a single, separate direction to be found. Departing sounds look back at the arriving ones to create a lack of separation between the two, and hence, a sense of timelessness.

The Interludes - titled Watercolors - are small musical settings, similar to Japanese Haiku poems. Each Watercolor varies from short thematic expressions to a continual melodic statement. They are placed between each of the larger compositions, reflecting theinterconnectedness of all things in the universe. These parts, however small, are an intimate part of the whole.
