Chill vibes to relax to! I was inspired by Franz Liszt's "Oh Quand Je Dors" (poem by Victor Hugo) and Gabriel Faure's "Apres Un Reve" (poem by Romain Bussine). The idea of having an adventure in a dream. It took on a couple of iterations through the years but has finally been released as this soulful rondo.
