Featuring seven musical poems, Illumination will take you on a journey beyond your senses. Push through the Curtain of reality amid a pure harmonic series of high frequency sounds to a world of inner reflection, Point, Line, Plane depicts cosmic clouds of primal resonance, the abstract and mathematical, Plato's Cave, whispers in a multitude of tongues, sonic sign languages of the internal dialogue of pure consciousness, and finally Temple, the sound of a spiritual architectural space of No-thingness. Rich's subtle musical interpretation of Illumination embraces the sacred rituals and spaces of all, capturing the universal essence of our post-modern culture. It is a meditation piece for the mind and the body.
