Program Notes:

The idea of Deep Sleep came from my fascination with what happens to us when we sleep. As someone who has experienced mostly all the weirdness of the dream world: sleep walking, talking, reoccurring dreams and sleep paralysis I felt like I had a lot of experience to draw from. Deep Sleep goes through the spectrum of what may occur when one supposedly is sound asleep.
