Music of Török Zoltán

Originally, this album was mainly influenced by the work of filmscore composer Hans Zimmer's Beyond Rangoon soundtrack. I began work on it soon after I heard it in the late nineties. The music deeply impressed me, so I decided to compose a similar (but not identical) score with its sentimental, dramatic feelings and heightened emotions and connect them to a story of my own creation.

Land of Dreams is a fully orchestrated body of music, which has very few synth sounds. It employs lots of strings throughout the album and it also contains several far-east instruments and various percussion.

The fictional movie tells the story about a family and the son's

relationship with the daughter of a Communist’s deputy leader who

lives in Cambodia. It takes place in the second half of the seventies

during the Khmer Rouge regime's reign of terror.

The CD version has a complete event/track description, a kind of rough

script which helps the listener to “get the picture” and the feel of what

happens at certain points in the music. The original version was

finished in March of 2000, but the entire album was completely revised

in 2009.

Available only at AudioLife's Store and CDBaby.

"Land of Dreams is sequenced music, but sounds almost like it is being played by a real, live orchestra. It is a different, fresh and bold album. It could have been pretentious, but is not so at all. Instead it comes through as a heartfelt and passionate album." By BT Fasmer. Read the full review here.
