With You to The Threshold, Music Album and Sound Installation
With a combination of western classical instruments, world instruments, and poignant vocals, With You to The Threshold will walk you through the barren landscape of loss, towards sanctuary, peace and light.
Welcome, friend.
With You to The Threshold is an audible representation of grief and the journey of accompanying a loved one in the process of dying. As such, it is for you. Yes, YOU.
If you are grieving, I hope it makes you feel recognised and un-alone in the process; and ultimately brings you hope and healing.
If you are not grieving…it is quite certain you will be at some point, as death is part of life. I hope this album may acquaint you a little with grief and listening to it grows compassion in your heart.
If you have known grief and your heart and your life have expanded beyond it, I salute your brave soul, we are of the same ilk.
There is beauty, there is hope and there is love.
