Deadly Dreams

Composer: Jordan Berg
Quatuor de saxophones (SATB)

**Commissionned by New Music L.AB

Deadly Dreams is what its title evokes: a feverish, sometimes psychotic nightmare featuring chases, entities with malicious intent, hypnotic dazes and much more. Rhythmic manipulation distorts the sense of time and space. This piece was written in Vancouver, Lethbridge and Paris, on a plane as well as a white-knuckle bus ride on a snowy highway. Guidance was given by Dr. Carrabré and Jordan's long-time composition teacher, Grammy nominee and multi-platinum recording artist, Kip Winger.
