Programme Note

When I dropped by in the springtime, there was a futon in the sphere. Someone had moved in and made it their bedroom. Vilma’s song is inspired by the Beach Boys’ classic tune, In My Room, along with a little snippet of Schubert’s _The Hurdy-Gurdy Man" (from Die Winterreise): “In my room No-one sees me, no-one hears me… Now it’s dark and I’m alone But I won’t be afraid.”
