I wrote this piece specifically for this recording project. The dedication here is to the Enso Ring which is often seen in Japanese Zen. Ideally the Enso ring is painted by a Zen master while maintaining an empty state of mind, embracing the void. This imperfect circle representation of concept of emptiness juxtaposed against the prefect imperfection of reality.
Leonard Thompson plays an amazing introduction to the song and the band captures the composition perfectly.
