Life's Dimensions by The Whitney Project
The works contained in this album were conceived as mediations. I encourage the listener to take a ride with us, using the music as a means to reflect on Life’s Dimensions and the many
Perspectives from which any one situation can be viewed. How do we find ways to love more? Understand each other more? Center our own hearts more? I don’t have the answer, but I hope this music provides space for your search.
