Big dreams sometimes require that you give up something for them. Then you have to decide wich direction you wanna take. This internal conflict and also the possibilities that arise from big dreams are the content of the song Spiral Dreams. It was a wonderful experience to work together with Nicolas Genest and Henrik Raabe to bring this song to life. A great and very inspiring collaboration, for which I am very grateful.
