Artist's Comments
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?
Track listing and separate mp3s: 01 Loopzilla 02 Happy Pain 03 Burning Dog Transmission 04 Levitating Night Journey 05 No Real Summer 06 Three Billion Cicadas 07 Trans-Meteorological Haircut 08 Sub Conscious 09 While You Were In The Shower 10 Spacestream 11 We Need To Talk 12 Lost In The Mist 13 Long 14 Meteor Shower The third of the dream diagrams series. 14 drawings of the mind beyond matter. All songs recorded, composed, mixed and mastered by mr_mark_dollin between late 2006 to May 2008. Engineering advice by Simon Floth. Songs were recorded in both The Pink Tank and Galloway Street, Armidale Australia. Artwork photography by Sue Dollin, editing and web done by Mark. Light paintings performed by Mark, Scott, Sarah, and Richelle. 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! |

Only a few listens so far, but enjoying it immensely.
Its great to hear your creative guitar skills as a major element creating awesome textures and soundscapes.
I can see why you wanted the space and light painting photos, the whole album gives me that sense of vastness with a whole lot going on. Just like the universe.
And the art work is perfect! Great to see.
Will comment more as I listen more.
Meteor Shower is the perfect ending.
It doesn't go long enough!
It also makes me want to sit down and cry for all the happy things in my life. Powerful stuff.
Well done Mark, this is a stunning piece of work, you should be proud.
Will do a journal later today to help get it out there. Good Luck!
I'm happy that I've got the '
This whole work certainly comes from the guitar as a starting point. Every single song started on the guitar, one way or another. Sometimes a melody, sometimes a textured drone, sometimes a nice chord-progression. Because guitar is my first instrument I find it easiest to use to create whatever I wanted. And because I FELT like doing thing not as strategically with this music, whatever came out was directly expressed, intuitively and emotionally.
Look forward to the journal...
Btw, what does the title of the album mean? Maybe you gave an explanation somewhere, but I must've missed it.
It indeed is a good music to listen to while I'm sitting at the computer and trying to create something. Great stuff!
Also liked the artwork for the album, very good idea with the light painting and suits the mood very well. Thank you!
