about

I think of these works as journeys to lost and mysterious places, some a bit frightening, others joyful, prayerful or puzzling - like dreams that slip away as we wake.

This music has very little percussion, but it is not drone or space music, having well defined melodic and harmonic themes.

The album title is based on the story of Scipio, a Roman general who dreamed a 'soul-journey' through the cosmos, and looked down on the earth from afar. Some say in the dream he had to choose between Virtue and Pleasure.
