When I dreamt of rain (2024) for solo recorder and tape loops | performed by Luca Imperiale
มุมมอง 467 หลายเดือนก่อน
Programme Note: Written for the RCM Consort 21 project, 2024, When I dreamt of rain centres around the theme of childhood nostalgia, painting a picture of a peaceful dream, interrupted by the appearance of fire, before returning to calm again when rain finally falls.
