Abstract
Like the title "Dreamlike" implies, this composition is meant to evoke one's state of mind throughout a dream. The first movement plays like process music, evoking one's recollection of a vague memory of what one has dreamt, often associated with the feeling of time stretching while accented by moments of clarity and disorientation. I analogize this feeling with the title "In the Opaque Clouds." The first movement does not simply end, but rather transitions into the second movement titled "Into the Clear Ether," similar to how dreams may change scenes without our awareness. As this movement explores the unique timbres of the instruments and establishes an altered soundscape, the dream morphs and dilates time further until the end where one fades into the world of waking.
