This album does contain tracks similar to my prior ambient works while also incorporating rhythmic or other elements. As always, my main goal with each track is to create a soundscape that captures a place, mood or event. Into the Unknown is also a themed album telling the story of an epic-type adventure from departure to return home.

1. The Odyssey Begins
2. The Open Sea
3. The Maelstrom
4. Unknown Territory
5. Lost
6. The Chase
7. Desert Crossing
8. Homecoming
