PROGRAMME NOTES
iv - Lucid Dreaming
The dream state begins again, but now the individual is aware that they are dreaming. Whilst initially engrossed by the flow state of peaceful dreams, the thrumming self-awareness consumes one's mind and captures the individual's awareness entirely. In a cacophonous wrath, the dream collapses away, and sleep state fades to nothing.

A dramatic, electronic dance style track for brass band, Manchester is inspired by my experiences in the famous UK city.

Powerful, complex but with a never ceasing swagger, Manchester leads a journey through my interpretation of the city's quirky side into its groovy glory.
