About the work:

Dreamtimes as a conception is closely related to the Australian aboriginal legends. Although dream during sleep has no definite idea of time, the conception here is larger than sleep-dreams. With the original Australians, dreamtime rather meant a constant process of creation – a kind of world order being established. With time and music as closely related items, a flight of the thought in tones over this conception of life is, in fact, quite obvious.

Reviews:

… stemningsmusik, der har sin styrke og udvikling i kombinationerne af klange og harmonier
(Berlingske Tidende)

… eftertænksomt improvisatorisk præg.

Ein Rauschen geht durch den Wald von Metallröhrshen, ein kurzer Wirbel am Vibraphon und Klavier. Dann nimmt der 39jahriger das Material immer mehr zurück – Ruhe nach dem Stürmchen.
(Hamburger Morgenpost)

De flygtige syner i Dreamtimes blander besnærende delikat klaverets og slagtøjets mest skrøbeligt lysende klange.
