"It Seemed So Real" - A short piece meant to convey the progression of a dream from it's immersive beginning to the point where you suspect that you're dreaming, then to the point when you wake up. 

It Seemed So Real

A song I wrote this year originally as a solo piano piece inspired by the emotions that run through parents minds while caring for their children with special needs. This version features various odd historical instruments such as a table piano, Stroh violin, harpsichord, various music boxes and an Orphica piano among others. It's an arrangement that I thought would be right at home in the world of Vadim Voitekhovitch and his steampunk inspired art.

Chasing Time (Special Child)
