Thanks to every bit of inspiration--strangers, sculptures, sorrow, and city life; meditation, monuments, lovers, ecstasy…
To my family and dear friends for their undying support, to life’s imperfections, and the ever-elusive capacity to let go.
To Tom Stroll, my beloved collaborator and friend, who will always keep his eyes on the stars.
To Merter Yildirim, the ‘we can do that’ man, for somehow always moving mountains.
To all the wonderful musicians who contributed their hands and their hearts.
To NYU, for having us, and for putting all the pieces together.
To Dojo restaurant, where the faint glimmer of an album first came to life.

“It is not your business to determine how good it is nor how valuable nor how it compares with other expressions. It is your business to keep it yours clearly and directly, to keep the channel open...No artist is pleased. There is no satisfaction whatever at any time. There is only a queer divine dissatisfaction, a blessed unrest that keeps us marching...”
―Martha Graham
