This episode mirrors the nights I'm living through lately - mercurial and strange, both weightless and heavy, when sleep finally arrives laden with vivid dreams, mostly nightmares. These dreams feel unnervingly real, carrying encrypted messages that hover just beyond understanding. The darkness brings a cascade of thoughts, my mind splitting into multiple streams, each wrestling with its own impossibilities, processing everything at once. Between these storms come moments of sharp consciousness, brief intervals where I struggle to break free from this infernal cycle, to find some anchor in reality. And as if by design, a dear friend steps in to share this musical space, his presence as natural as those long conversations that help us through difficult times. Skander's hour comes as a continuation of our ongoing dialogue through sound, a companion in these wakeful hours.
