Music can evoke emotions and thus I decided to follow my heart in my choice of the 10 pieces. On the presumption that aliens have emotions just like us I thought that I wanted to choose composers like Bach, Mozart and Beethoven whose composition of music transcend time and place. Some of this music was composed hundreds of years ago, yet it is still considered universal and eternal. These composers were immortalized by their work and their music which represent our ethereal, aesthetic universe. However, it still surpasses the painful reality of our fragile existence. The last two records show the diverse world that we live in and are a true embodiment of the miscellaneous cultures that exist on our planet.
