about

“Return to the Time of Dreams” is the third instalment in the *World of Dreaming series*, a project that has focused on music, rainforests and dreams.

For many, dreams are wondrous . . . often elusive fragments that we have little control over. Events in dreams suddenly appear and disappear . . . space and time can seem vaporous, permeable. Magic moments quickly vanish into thin air and yet this can also describe experiences we have when we dance or play music.

There seems to be some kind of harmonic network that connects us to music, mind, matter, dreams and nature. Entangled in body and imagination, perhaps only our memory holds these things together. There are several stories here . . . call them Fables if you wish . . .

The first is about a particular collection of musical instruments, all of whom were created from materials in rainforest environments. Their sounds and sensations seem primal, yet when immersed in nature’s elemental soundscapes they happily transform reality.

Throughout this series of albums the goal has been to create a different way to look at both nature and music. If we add dreams to this mixture, a sense of the surreal emerges and we might find ourselves involved with nature in ways we didn’t expect.

Keliehor: “My personal collection of instruments are children of the forests. Perhaps we all are. More importantly they know and understand nature’s environments. I think of them as explorers who have decided to return to their homeland, renew relationships there, observe its environments and help us understand nature better.”

*Part one and two: “The Beginning of Time” (2016), and “Fables of Forests and Light” (2019), were released both by InvisibleInc.co.uk and Luminousmusics.co.uk (Glasgow). Look for Part four in 2021: "Dreaming in the Other World".

AI-15: Bamboo Music

Wow, been loving so much ritualistic music lately, and this is right up there. This does a few things very well, some killer flute work that keeps it just on the edge of going too new age (a bit like Les Halles), and the rhythmic patterns and tone of the massive subtly shifting drums is so satisfying.

The exotic instruments, field recordings, tabla rhythms, chanting and bansuri flute flow ever outward, like the fractal patterns of the gorgeous album art. I could float on this music for days. Chris Collins
