We end this album with two tracks by Astral Mixtape. The second side offers Goddess Gardens, including intoxicating \"mixtape\" snippets from Scheherazade and Vaughan Williams' Lark Ascending, as well as more recent fare. Seven Hellos closes the album on side two, an original composition by the four members of the quartet. Astral Mixtape is clearly close to Nathan's heart:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"I am part of this wonderful band of fellow classical musicians who are seeking to reimagine the conventional roles of our instruments, and applying non-classical approaches to arrangement and composition in our works.
