This limited edition collector's disc contains a twenty-six minute musical journey. Vast, lovely and large, it transitions from a bleak, dark and brooding stormy night into a new dawn of contentedly chorusing whippoorwills.

Living in a megalopolis can be daunting to say the least. GOLDENBATS II is about time, healing, channeling creative energies and giving birth. The work was composed as a means for personal self-healing and empowerment both by the act of its creation and by the subtle memeplex it introduces upon repeated listening. The package design, etc. are all extensions of these ideas. The work was never intended to be released to the public though now through some fortunate external interest you're reading these words and hearing these sounds.
We'd love to create a meaningful dialog with you...

"...They anthropomorphize the planet in a sympathetic, guileless manner—it rumbles, thunders and pours, but after all the dramatic geological and atmospheric events, the terrain is carpeted in fresh green grass upon which sweet sunshine smiles down. This brief but poignant album is like mainlining creation and the first two movements in particular contain themes that bring a shudder each time they recur. With boisterous morning birdsong, the world sounds utterly newborn and resilient. This revolving “wheel of time” is bracingly life-affirming."
