NOTES
"KHROMORPHIA" is a captivating musical journey inspired by the fusion of Khroma, the goddess of colors, and Morpheus, the god of dreams. This rhapsody delves into the realm of dreams, using music to paint the vibrant tapestry of a dreaming mind. The piece begins with an ethereal fogginess, mimicking the hazy onset of a dream, where reality and imagination intertwine; the dream gains clarity, revealing a lucid and vivid dreamscape. Colors dance and weave together in a kaleidoscopic display, mirroring the influence of Khroma.
"KHROMORPHIA" , like much of my music, infuses orchestral grandeur with the rhythmic beats and harmonic language of R&B and hip hop. This dynamic fusion creates an atmosphere of ecstasy and exhilaration, elevating the emotional journey within the dream. I wanted to expand my understanding of the orchestra along with adding hues to my ever growing palette and from that came this ode to a dream.
