About
'The Third Dream' is the one of a series of works exploring the nature of memory and dreams. In this piece, the 'dreamer' is the earth itself, recalling an episode in its own history. Emerging from the primordia of a barely audible heartbeat, to which it ultimately returns, the work draws on the full resources of the symphony orchestra to build organically from delicate stirrings to a physicality of volcanic intensity. 'The Third Dream' has been recorded by the New Zealand Symphony Orchestra for Radio New Zealand.
