09. I Saw You In My Dream #neo-classical
In a one night dream of 2010, I had a dream, where I could see clearly, two little girls, one with blond hairs and blue eyes and one with brown hairs and brown eyes, holding their hands, and calling me.
At that time, I was studying Tibetan Bardos and the literature of life after death. In light of these circumstances, this dream resonated strongly : when I woke up, I sat for a long time in endless silence to write, on a piece of paper from the Baron Hotel in Aleppo in Syria, what I had dreamed and everything that came spontaneously to my mind, and what I remembered.
As time flowed on, a few months later, my wife became pregnant. A year passed, and we welcomed a daughter with brown hair and brown eyes. Another year went by, and my wife was pregnant again. After nine months, we welcomed another daughter, this time with blonde hair and blue eyes. I had forgotten about my earlier dream, but one evening, while perusing the gaps in my library's books, fate intervened, and I stumbled upon the page where I had recorded those few notes. The memory of the dream came rushing back: "I Saw You In My Dream'.

10. And Suddenly, You Were There
#neo-classical
In 2013, my two little girls entered the world, bringing with them joyful moments that change y perception of your inner strengths and unveiled the depths of our capabilities.
These memories blend together like a reflective second life, mirroring our experiences and emotions. They encompass their initial expressions, the beginnings of our mutual understanding, the first glimpses into their unique personalities, those memorable first steps, words, and distant, contemplative gazes. And suddenly, you were there.

11. Childhoods #electronica
"In the distance of youth, the adolescent disregards it and refuses to listen. "It's no longer me," he says, "it's a little one who doesn't know what he's saying." But the little one speaks what he knows, even and especially when he remains silent. The adolescent grows; he hasn't stifled all the cries; he hasn't erased the laughter or the tears... Educators want to throw him into the great same as everyone else; he doesn't want to think in steps; he doesn't want to dream on command... He longs for childhood."
Jacques Prévert ("Paroles" - 1946)
'Chilhoods' is a vaporous composition on the theme of childhood.
As tribute to the ability of children to launch themselves, without asking questions about their supposed abilities, in projects that make them grow.

12. Périples Imaginaires
#french experimental
When we recall the poet who captivated our youth, an entire segment of our active or intellectual life comes rushing back. This poet, as we grew older, served as a reminder that the bourgeois, the parish priest, and the military were the adversaries of our quest for freedom.
Jacques Prévert remains unwaveringly loyal to the ideals of his youth.
With simple words, he had dismantled the constraints through which the classics taught poetry.
