Songs and spaces made directly from, about, describing, relaying recent dreams. Leaning and aiming towards pop song in these jammers.

**most songs made the very morning/day of the dream had.

created as Suites & collections of songs from specific periods of time (usually connected to winter, spring, summer, and fall breaks from work when i have the time to really spend just sitting there with gear after waking up). Transitional times of year makes for good dreaming... while awake or asleep.

Suite 4 - a series of dreams had over a week and a half that focussed on specific materials and objects... things (upon waking) that really seemed like clear symbols/containers of specific people, relationships, events and memories. banal things like carpet and cardboard and a green chair much grander vessels for things Im still processing I guess (??). That sounds "heavier" than I want it to... this is also fun stuff, strange fun dreams and uncanny details. Last track in the suite is a real dance-bomb directly telling the events of a strange dream where I found myself all alone and naked in a room.... reaching for something or someone (or many things) empty handed.

Suite 3 - ...i had spent a lot of time watching Luther Price films online and had a dream that lingered around the East Coast landscape (I have family there... connected to my mother's side of the family). it was a lonely and sad dream... a water dream and travel dream.... a distance dream, sand dream, maybe most of all a TIDE dream. There was pandemic/distance related tension between my mother and I at this time. Images and sounds and language of Price's film Warm Broth (where he performs as his mother) popping into the dream along the way... it was me/not-me sometimes (Im also in the middle of a project where I perform as a mother). Hard judgements felt on warm/cold beaches... everything & everyone (even the landscape) seemed in need of help but no one and nothing knew how to ask for it or receive it. (*see track notes for more praise and revery towards Luther Price... a link to view Warm Broth online via the LIghtCone website... the track includes some tape recording of me watching Warm Broth... used with utmost respect to the artist [no infringement intended... it was apart of the dream but certainly not something I have ownership of... RIP L.P.).

7 & 8 - two separate songs (not a suite but made (and best played) back to back):
7 tells the dream-tale of me returning back to a house/roommate situation from a hand-full of years ago... stairs, hunger, doors, addictions that wont go away, a kitchen confrontation and a fleeing. ...a yellow plate specifically (how come?). The most vivid doors I've ever dreamed of. I got out of there and everything was okay again...
8 invites my mother into the project----not a dream of mine but a dream of hers. I asked her to call me and leave me a voicemail about a recent impactful dream, and she followed through with really wonderful flying colors (thanks mom!). My sister was still pregnant at the time with my now nephew Cal.
