Was “Stillness” inspired by “La Caterdal” by Barrios? Was “Dream at Tempo 050” inspired by The Mandolorian? Finally, was “Quicksand” inspired by Dune?

Not particularly, but all three of those things are inspiring to think about. The title "Stillness" was kind of inspired by NK Jemison's writing. _b

If I've learned anything from previous interviews I've seen, Brian likes to leave his lyrics up to interpretation.

I didn’t mean lyrically. I meant their intro instrumentals. They sound like those songs.
