Passive Imagination by Dream Cycle was inspired by common types of dreams, occurring while conscious and unconscious. The works are intended to produce a state of relaxation and provide a path for the listener to find their own sanctuary for active or passive listening. Weaving acoustic instruments with serene textures, it drifts between calming melodies and engaging resonances.
