‘Going new places, changing directions, arriving at a crossroads, entering the unknown — for many, those are moments of strong and ambivalent feelings. Curiosity, captivation, and anticipation, intertwined with hesitation, caution, sometimes even anxiety or fear; lots of conflicting, contradictory emotions flood the mind. But there’s really only one thing we can do: go ahead.
‘With its interchanging 4/4 and 7/8 time signature, “Travelling to Terra Incognita” evokes a stumbling, fumbling sensation. Rarely heard instruments like the udu (an earthen vase-shaped hand drum with a small mouth at the top and a larger circular opening at the side), the Indian harmonium, and the mbira (or ikembe, or most commonly, kalimba) lend a sense of consolation and warmth, as do the voices of travelling whales in French Polynesian waters and of a nightingale and other birds in western Finland.’
