Original Liner Notes

As you may have guessed, the subject matter of the compositions in this collection are trees in their various states throughout the cycle of the year. My cycle begins with Winter, because it was the winter tree that inspired me to resurrect the Kaleidoscope Project, and then progresses through to Autumn. I’ve found it difficult to write down my feelings about this collection without it sounding a bit pretentious, but I’ll say that I feel it represents my vision of what this project is all about, better than any other will, because of the fact that it uses such a common thing as a tree for it’s subject. On a side note, while the winter tree was my inspiration, it proved to be the most difficult subject. The final compositions I produced for it never seemed to satisfy what I had in mind. Ultimately, it was a fortunate problem because it prevented me from completing an early collection. Soon, I found myself working on Spring and Summer, which made me realize I had to let the cycle play out, so that I could produce this collection.

Personal Thoughts

This collection contains my first serious attempts at making kaleidoscopic composition from the conceptual stages forward.
