Program notes:

The composition is inspired by the silent and lonely night. I perceive it as a gradual sinking to the world of dreams; like a journey of the mind, from the most ideal and utopian fantasies to the most absurd and uncanny ones. The first movement is like a sweet, heady and enchanting lullaby which unconsciously "forces" me to leave from the real world and "dive" gradually into my world of dreams. I imagine a vague world abound in crystals, flowing water and all different kinds of blue and cinnabar colors, subtle and fragile in their presence. The second movement describes a deeper level of sleep when bizarre objects and situations blend with each other in a frenetic rhythm, like a complex surrealistic scene. I constantly see colors of dark blue, blue-purple and red, like the colors of the sky in late evening and at night. All these undefined shapes and objects bring out mysterious, scary, nostalgic but attractable feelings too.
