Programme note
Morpheus in the Greek mythology is the most powerful of the Oneroi, the gods of dreams. He is the one who sends us our dreams and he may appear to us within the dreams in disguise.

Electronics extend and augment the orchestral colors and help achieving the unreal “haunted†atmosphere and the different reality levels of the protagonist's memory.
