This is a full set of “Album of Dreams – Suite I,” a suite of 9 pieces for piano in a cyclic form
based on the single theme that links the entire set together. The main idea of this suite
comes from fragments of my dreams, which I wake up in the middle of the night to write
down the scraps of those melodies or sounds in my dreams. I have tons of them over the past
years, so I decided to look into them and pick some to mash together into a suite. And here is
the result: a set of 9 quirky and strange pieces for piano.Moreover, as I was working on each piece, I mostly took the idea of irregular rhythmic changes, pianistic style, and repetition from Takashi Yoshimatsu’s piano works; notably, Pleiades Dances. They work perfectly for these dream pieces; otherworldly, weird, and whimsical in every aspect of melody and contour. However, I still added some twists and
ideas after those techniques and used with my own color and timbre to represent my dream
stories and soundscapes.
