The Trecento duo of Sean Smith and Terry Skaggs (which was an ongoing concern between 1997 and 2006) reunite to create two tracks in celebration of Nils Frahm's Piano Day 2017.

-- Sean on his inspiration for "Painted Morning" --

"There is a little piece of heaven tucked between two mountains in Yellow River State Forest. As morning light breaks the horizon for the world above, the campground nestled in the tight valley crevasse remains a muted pallet of dark greens and greys. The sounds of nature waking for another day have a heavy, wet blanket on them. Fog dances carelessly in the trees, unaware that its life will soon be over once the sun is able to break over the eastern peak. But those moments before are as magical, tranquil, and peaceful as I have ever experienced. Free from the bounds of responsibility, schedule, technology, and the noise that we call 'life'."

-- Terry on his inspiration for "Languid" --

"As a SCUBA diver and snorkeler I have this recurring dream of resting on my back upon the bed of a calm, shallow sea. I lie there watching the veil of the surface that stirs restlessly above. Gentle waves of light and the shadows of fish brush across my body. There is a deep peace around and within me. At some point I realize that I'm no longer encumbered by my mask, air tank, or regulator. I am breathing water now and I smile at the liquid sun that wavers in another world, high above. As I awaken, I am dissolving into an infinite oceanic Everything."
