Ephemera by The Gateless Gate
"Ephemera" is about impermanence. Our lives, our world, our ideas of what our legacy might be...all things pass away and are remade into new forms. Every moment the person we were dies and a new one is born. We can choose to lament or embrace the impermanence that underlies our existence. This also applies to our practice of pastimes like music.
This recording features a mix of new and "reworked" material.
"A Beautiful Ending (Red Sky)" is an extended ambient rework of an older piece also called "Red Sky."
"Moments Slip Away" is a rework of an older vocal piece.
