Most of my works are built around historical events or stories made by other people. Dreams is my first work built around a completely original story. Across six movements, a mysterious character becomes trapped in an ever-changing dream world, searching for a way to escape as their dreams slowly unravel around them. A recurring "dream melody" and elements of twelve-tone writing symbolize the character's descent into confusion and uncertainty. Using imagery, storying telling, and moments of both wonder and chaos, Dreams leaves its ending open for each listener to interpret.
