This is a composition I'm working on for an upcoming play called "The Boy Who Couldn't Grow Up" based upon the life and works of Scottish author, J.M. Barrie, the man that dreamed up Peter Pan. 

With this piece, I was aiming for the feeling of drifting off into slumber, and the creation of dreamscapes, where bits of replayed memory weave with the fantastic, the mind concocting its own story, and for a few short hours we live the unimaginable.

The next step for this piece is expansion. What you're hearing is actually the third part of a larger piece made up of four movements, the first two being ambient noise and lighter musical elements, the fourth being as if one dream lead into another, more laughter-like dream.
