    A musical enigma starting in a happy light hearted mood but slowly drifting to a darker state of mind.

    Story Behind the Song
    The naming of any piece of instrumental music being a least to me a daunting task, I have therefore on this occasion taken the easy way out. Most often seeing (or hearing ?) how a piece's name relates to the actual music is far from obvious if one actually desires to discover that logical link when left unexplained. In these cases one could say the piece was a sort of enigma hence the first, yet secondary, motivation for the title of Sphynx. The second motive is the recent reading of an intriguing book with the same title by a Scottish author who speaks of a man working and experimenting with a dream recording device in the midst of a landscape filled with all too human drama and experiences. In that sense this short piece can be divided in two easily identified sections; the first part dealing with the day to day life and social amenities of our inventor and his supporting cast followed by the second more obscure section dealing with his dream experiences where something unearthly is attempting to reach him to warn him of upcoming events. Obviously without the book this doesn’t help.
