The night, metropolis, fog, drizzle, empty streets… the last streetcars head back to their warm shelter. The sound of a distant construction work echoes through the quiet avenue. Clocks reach the small hours – these belong to the night people.
Urban Nocturnes is subtitled  “15 night episodes”, as the music, reflective and pensive for most of the time, presents the solitary feeling that may people experience in the big metropolis, especially in the small hours of the night, when things calm down and everybody is at home. At these small hours, the city looks different; its sounds are different, more distant, more alienated. Add to that a fog and rain and the imagination will go into many directions.
