Program Notes
A sequel to 2019's Afraid of the Dark, Nightmare is an electroacoustic glance into what happens when we fall in to a dreaded bad dream. Nightmare details the journey from the moment we close our eyes and sleep creeps over us, to when our consciousness arrives in the middle of a bone-chilling horror scene, and finally to when we open our eyes the next morning, thankful that it was all just a dream.
