    This is a mediation on my podcast conversation with composer and pianist, Eric Pan.

    Each Petal a Portal is a four-part composition arranged and performed by Daniel Lazar and Brian Trahan. The lyrics are a cento, selected from various poems by Joshua Weiner.

    I. Beneath the Dogwood’s White Explosion
    II. No Essential Mysteries
    III. The Hand Holds Tight the Line
    IV. No Hand, No Hold

    The composition was recorded at Funkhaus Studios in Berlin and produced by Bran Trahan.

    Brian and Joshua were both guests on Season 7 of For a Living. Here are my conversations with Brian and with Joshua.
