Some places are inexplicably special. They immerse whoever is present in a feeling of awe so palpable, it can almost be heard as if it was a whispered message. To some, these places are known as "thin places"—or places in which barriers appear thin between the everyday world we experience and another, "special" (or perhaps spiritual) world. Regardless of what one believes them to be, anyone who has found themselves in one of these special places knows it as a transcendent and wholly unique experience. Murmur from Thin Places (2022) is a musical exploration of this phenomenon, and the unique emotions experiencing such a place can inspire.
