In a long hallway, curious echoing sounds leak through the walls; a piano's chords ground our footfall, assuring us we are not alone. Rainforest and jungle sounds manipulated into white noise pads call out from the periphery, until gentle cello takes us by the hand, leading us through the wilds beyond our seeing. Woodwinds and skipping synth say, "nothing is quite what it seems." We are in worlds within worlds, layer upon layer peeking through. A wash of reverb and keyboard melt the walls, the noise outside quickly hushed. A cradling bed of synth shines through, resetting the landscape, revealing the possibilities of this other world. Original music from composer Ryan Holladay. Meditative Story combines extraordinary human stories with meditation prompts embedded into the storylines — all surrounded by breathtaking music.
