Arcadian is an album of floating ambience and enchanting soundscapes, consisting of nine new tracks with a total duration of 41 minutes, carefully mastered by George Mastrokostas (Absent Without Leave).
By definition, Arcadian means rural, rustic, or pastoral, especially suggesting simple, innocent contentment. Inspired by this definition, I wanted the music to be contemplative, ideal for considering simpler, less chaotic times when we lived in harmony with nature.
