Dear Listener:
Somewhere in my dreams’ memories, the idea behind Crystalline Dream and the Threshold album had been haunting me until I was fortunate enough to bring them to life. Most of the music and themes on the album were realized when I was dreaming and jotted down upon awakening.
Threshold is in fact a single composition with a common developing theme comprised of eleven pieces (short movements) and are meant to be as an unfolding dream. As you slip from consciousness falling asleep, you cross the Threshold and deeper into the dream.
My wish is for you to join me on this musical journey to relax and hopefully be taken to a different place of reflection and discovery.
Harmoniously - Richard
