At the Dream Conference

At the recent annual conference of the International Association for the Study of Dreams (www.asdreams.org) in Ashland, Oregon, I gave a special one-hour presentation on the Musical Dream Tarot, including a description of the process by which it was composed and samples of some of the music. At the Dream Art Reception at the same conference, I invited participants to choose one card from the Pholarcos deck and then I played the music from it. Finally, at the Dream Ball, my wife and I wore costumes derived from the Pholarcos deck’s 2 of Sparks (Wands) and performed an excerpt from the music for that piece, on tenor dulcian and soprano recorder.
