In The Middle Of The World Without A Map

Piano solo variations on the theme "Träumerei" by Robert Schumann

The process of this composition relied on the dreams I had whilst composing it and there was conscious effort to derive music material from those dreams which lasted for roughly 10 days. A practice that I will like to develop as I find it almost freeing to surrender to what comes forth from the subconscious.
