The dreaming is a written-out improvisation over a B pedal … the feeling of singing in nature, far from anyone, dreaming my future as a child, full of hopes and fears as we all are. I tried to compose something that would sound like a stream of consciousness—a free flow of connected but independent musical thoughts.
