Mr. Mark McCloud About the recording: The recording uses a blend of mostly acoustic; along with virtual orchestral instrumentation with the piano.

A close friend and colleague had heard bits and parts of the unfinished piano solo portion of it on an old and badly worn cassette tape while retrieving mail from Boise's apartment. Boise was then urged to finish a work that was started back in 1973 as part of a therapy regimen in his post treatment recovery. Reluctantly at first; Boise slowly began to manuscript bits and parts of the unfinished piano portion. The biggest challenge was the development of the orchestration; which was no mere small feat for someone not that familiar with orchestral writing or theory. Going by a combination of self-study, instinct and improvisation; Boise amassed his first contemporary classical work that is slowly attracting the appeal of regular listeners of its "poetic beauty and passion".
