Dream Stream

“Water is…constantly dissolving and solidifying, washing away and re-forming in perpetual transformation”

-Sensitive Chaos, Theodor Schwenk

Dream Stream weaves together field recordings, voice, fragments of text, visualizations, stories, performance, and archive materials in a sonic contemplation of inner/outer landscapes. The sound of water is a thread across the whole duration. From that constantly shifting ‘surface’, various other sound worlds emerge and recede in a transient dream-like encounter.

Dream Stream is populated with past and present ideas and materials:

Field recordings, including binaural and hydrophone recordings from Scotland, Sri Lanka (Sura Medura Artist Residency), and La Gomera

Sound compositions - sections and fragments from my sound archive Nidra visualizations

Night Vision text and found text

Performance - spoken word, improvisations, voice, guitar Dream stories from contributors

Collaborative projects - sections and re-worked materials created with other artists

 

Many thanks indeed to collaborators and contributors who are listed below, with links where applicable.

 

The Programme Schedule outlines the main elements weaving through water in each hour. Otherwise, visualizations, improvisations, and other fragments of material are scattered throughout.
