about

Composed & produced between 2017 and 2019, Anxiety Dreams is a 37 minute gapless album that attempts to contextualize an evening of nightmares, the accompanying dysphoric confusion, and the moments of near-lucidity in between. A series of ambient, melodically driven reflective moments are punctuated by intense, drum-break-driven psychedelia while navigating a disorienting landscape formed by disjointed memories of waking life.

Built through granular refinement over time, and with a large focus on the density of its textures and consistency of its motion, Anxiety Dreams oscillates between stylistic explorations of IDM, Ambient, Breakcore, Classical, Drill n' Bass, Dub, and a slew of sometimes disparate experimental territories in an attempt to weave each sonic thread into a larger cohesive patchwork.

Informed heavily by early electronic songwriting habits, a collection of personal audio recordings with emotional connections dating back to childhood are broken apart in this album and arranged to form rhythmic and melodic structures. This process often forms the backbone of each piece, while a combination of hardware synthesizers, homemade machines, acoustic instrumentation, and meticulously programmed drum-breaks help guide things into place.

This album is pay-what-you-want. If you enjoy it, please consider supporting me by sharing it with somebody you believe may enjoy it as well. A donation with your purchase of the downloadable material is very much appreciated, but not expected.

As this is a gapless album, my recommendation is to download the audio through Bandcamp and listen in your gapless audio player of choice. A gapless version of this album (split into two parts due to band camp limitations) is also available here on Bandcamp.

When I was very young my mom would sit with me before bed and pray for me to have ‘good dreams, and good thoughts of the wonderful things made in this world’. One night I asked her to change the prayer going forward, and asked that instead we pray that I have no dreams.

Sometimes we just want to shut things off for a while.
