Garvayo - Roberto Sierra: 33Suenos

I conceived 33 Dreams as sort of a strange trip to a supposedly shifting center that can be found both inside and outside consciousness. The dreams here are coded messages that help draw the map, and their poetic translation is the exerted result of their decoding in a precise language of symbols. In the road we find seas, magical places, real and imaginary persons, whirlpools, spirals, monsters, gods, abysses, and a myriad array of both typical and archetypal images found in the quest for my emotional, intellectual and poetic need. Roberto Sierra uses this trip structure, �journey� as he prefers to say (in fact, one third of the piece was composed during a cruise crossing in his Caribbean sea), in order to connect his 33 Dreams with the tradition of the great song cycles of German romanticism.
