The music that was created for the podcast as well as another related endeavor that I am working on (stay tuned) is called the Elysium Fields. The name is derived from mythology as the heavenly place where good souls go to rest. For me, I interpret the song and its title to mean a divine place where creative souls seek refuge, insight and healing.

Composer, musician and illustrator Christopher Short (aka my husband) created the piece specifically for me and how he sees my creative purpose. “The song Elysium Fields is one of the early songs that I started back in the late 80s,” recalls Short. “I had the composition along with the ethereal harmonies just waiting to be fulfilled.”

The composer and songwriter would like to give thanks to Viktoria Sunshine from Romania who delivered the gorgeous vocalizations and Teruhisa Hiraki, first violinist in the tutti section at the Austrian National Opera – Graz Philharmonic Orchestra, for his stunning musical performance.
