Aegri Somnia

Story Behind The Song

Aegri Somnia means a sick man's dream. The phrase summarized what the story teller (me) was going through at that point in her life. Various idioms and platitudes from Asia and Australia are referenced; as this is my ethnic background.

Song Description

I began this piece wanting as little synthesizer treatment as possible. Hence the guqin plays fuzz guitar lines with percussive noises played on its body to add dimension. Theremin plays string lines together with my trademark harmonies.
