Like dew I fall,
like dew I vanish —
Such is my life:
a dream within a dream.
Poem attributed to Toyotomi Hideyoshi (1536–1598)
Composer Hooshyar Khayam
Throughout the album, dreams become less a refuge from reality than another way of understanding it. Images emerge like fragments remembered upon waking: wind, waves, dust, moonlight, mist, clouds. Time folds in upon itself. Melodies appear, dissolve, and return transformed, just as memories evolve each time we revisit them.
Royâ is the Persian word for dream.
More than a cycle of chamber works, Royâ is a powerful exploration of memory, migration, poetry, and imagination.
…our lives are fleeting, memory is uncertain, and yet those very qualities make our existence immeasurably precious
Like the dreams from which it takes its name, Royâ lingers after the final notes fade, showing us that our lives are shaped not only by where we have been, but also by the imagined worlds we continue to carry within us.
