“Nad” is the name for a real phenomenon, widely reported. The late, great D. Scott Rogo did a couple of really good books about it. It’s a kind of “music of the spheres” sound, the heavenly choir sort of thing. I’ve actually heard it, once, when I was very sick as a child, part of an experience that I later discovered had all the traits of a near death experience. Unfortunately I didn’t come anywhere close to capturing the sound on this track. I frankly don’t think it’s possible. It’s as if you’re hearing the fundamental vibration of everything in the universe. It’s actually not easy to focus on any one part of it, which is what makes it so hard to describe or duplicate. Just the same, it’s something I hope to try again to approximate, one day, in the hope that I might get closer.
The vocal/choir instrumentation of "Nad" is mirrored 3 tracks in from the end of the album by "Of Brief Stays", which also has a similar loop structure/arrangement.
