Mark Fenster’s “Rising Embers” is a Meditative Celebration of Trust, Release, and Inner Peace, Taken from His Just-Released Album, Serenity Sessions, Vol. 1
Montreal-born, Gabriola Island, BC-based composer, vocalist, and meditation guide Mark Fenster returns with “Rising Embers,” a glowing, introspective new track from his just-released album, Serenity Sessions, Vol. 1 – a deeply personal collection of sound journeys and guided meditations designed to restore calm, connection, and clarity for the listeners.
Driven by multicultural instrumentation, gentle orchestral textures, and a sense of spiritual movement, “Rising Embers” conjures the quiet beauty of a campfire’s final glow – each ember lifting into the night as a symbol of trust, release, and transformation. The piece invites the listener to follow a path of rising emotion and soft realization, repeated yet evolving, landing in a space of gratitude and peace.
“Sitting by a glowing campfire, feeling the warmth, absorbing the calm, watching tiny embers lift and fall to the sky, as if letting go, completing the experience and flowing back to the source. This is how I feel when I realize I’ve made the leap, I’m ok, and all is well now that I’ve believed and trusted and seen the beauty behind the blast,” says Fenster.
Serenity Sessions, Vol. 1 reflects a journey over decades – a musical expression of Fenster’s ongoing spiritual exploration that began in the 1980s. It includes four sound journeys and three guided meditations, all designed to carry the listener through emotional terrain toward stillness, harmony, and renewal.
The Serenity Sessions sound journeys are cinematic, emotional, and culturally textured. The meditations are softly spoken reflections designed to help listeners return to their centre – tools for anyone seeking grounding, transformation, and a sense of “home” within.
“This is my wish for all who receive the musical Love, Peace and Harmony that came through me to be with you,” says Fenster.
