To glimpse the sun: a mystic's journey

Although the concepts of Plato’s Cave Allegory may be observed in many literary, theatrical and other multimedia works, they have never been the explicit inspiration of any instrumental music work. This project is a musical interpretation of Plato’s Allegory of the Cave; its focus is on the emotional journey of the mystical character of the allegory. I take the aesthetical view that such a journey would be fraught with pain and wonder and would eventually end in sorrow and loneliness.
