To Dream of Silence is a stunning meditation on the human psyche, and the challenges our souls face in times of change. To Dream of Silence is dark, richly textured, and full of heart.

The album chronicles a series of significant dreams experienced by Jeff Reilly between 2008 and 2012, some were harrowing and intense, others astoundingly beautiful, all were deeply transformative.

Jeff Reilly has over 30 years of experience as a musician, producer, composer and as an internationally respected bass clarinet soloist. It seemed time to gather up all that experience and bring these dreams to life through music and narration.

To Dream of Silence occupies a unique sound world. Jeff Reilly’s bass clarinet combines with the pipe organ of long time collaborator Peter-Anthony Togni, the extended percussion of Jerry Granelli, two full string orchestras, and sound sculptures created in the tiny village of East Dover, Nova Scotia by the blacksmith John Little. Rinde Eckert adds a great deal with his sparse and powerful narrations.

Added to the line up is a new work by Canadian composer Christos Hatzis: Extreme Unction. It is a powerful depiction of both the struggles against, and the final acceptance of, the inevitability of death. Death, as this brilliant work by Christos shows us, is the ultimate transition.

Special thanks to FACTOR and the Canada Council for the Arts for their support of this project.
