Sep 16, 2026
An Odyssey–themed listening arc that mirrors departure, peril, temptation, and hard-won homecoming, using a balanced mix of cinematic instrumentals and lyric-driven tracks. The selections aim to echo the poem’s sea-voyage scale, moral tests, and longing for Ithaca without relying on any one mood for the whole journey.
