This is still probably to date one of my most significant and successful compositions. It is the only one of my compositions to have been performed multiple times AND on both coasts by an orchestra! This is probably also the best recording/performance out of all of them.

Icon by  Tooth

This piece is based on the indigenous philosophy that we are all one with the Creator and that therefore the creator is among us in everything around us, in many forms, all diverse but the same. The opening line played by the celli and basses is basically the theme of the creator and everything after that resembles it in some form, even if very remotely, so every reincarnation of that opening line (whether the listener recognizes or not) is another creature or plant.
