I’m very happy to announce the Third of The Dream Diagrams series is now available to the world. Like previous albums in the series this body of work deals with the meeting place of organic melody and quirky electronica: thematically dealing the unknown realms of delicate emotion and lucid dreaming. There is a general progression from loose improvisations to structured dramas. Let’s share some links shall we?

Thanks to both Jarrad Cousin and Mick Rippon – Jarrad helped realise some of the rhythmic possibilities in Meteor Shower, and for the same song Mick provided great advice on nurturing some of the song’s thematic subtly. Thanks to Iain, Luke and Dylan of Unity Gain for providing the starting point for Long. Thanks to Ruth Strut for the vocal tuition. Thanks to Renoise for the technical means of capturing these ideas. Also thanks to members of the online tracking community for feedback and advice along the way.

Special thanks to Richelle for being both a muse and the source of the title for Speacestream.

Three ’singles’ have already been released from this album. You can read more about these here: Lost In The Mist, Long and Meteor Shower.

Now is not the time to write essays about these pieces – they are here as they are, warts and all. I’ve got these out of my system, and it feels good to move onto more formal and structured projects. For now I hope you enjoy these pieces. It is done!
