  • Conjuring the mystical, this haunting theme reveals a short glimpse of what lies beyond our perception of ‘reality’. Seductive harp arpeggios create a mysterious ambience, as an accompanying female choir weaves otherworldly notes from another plane. Far and beyond.

Ancient winds and thunder transcend you beyond the physical, projecting your astral body deep into the past.

  • A middle-eastern rhythmic theme seduces you. In the distance, an alluring female voice. The chant of sensual lyrics. The awakening of forbidden desires. A full orchestral arrangement, mixed with eastern strings and duduk, performs a seductive theme that takes you, without resistance, to a state of ecstasy. Slowly increasing your pleasure. Your desire. Until you finally succumb to a forbidden Ecstasy.
    Your passion explodes. You lose control. Waves of pleasure scream with eastern gongs. The symphony reaches the climax. And you become one with your soul.
    A sensual and delicate duduk transcends you to a peaceful end. And Morpheus takes hold.

  • A masterpiece. An orchestral theme that’s memorable, profound and cinematic in scope. A mature melody with a meaningful symphonic score. The underlying fantasy of the harmonies builds into a powerful orchestral climax, full of passion and drama. The intense, emotional orchestration pulls you towards a lost kingdom in a far, far away land.
