“Dreams Remembered came to me while hearing melodies while sleeping,” says Jon Solo. “I’d wake up and instantly start writing on the piano. Adding spot reverbs and delays felt dreamlike which helped deepen the sense of dreaming. Finally, wrapping warm analog synths around the piano completed the concept invoking a surreal, peaceful and serene soundscape.”

BT Farmer’s comment: “Dreams Remembered showcases an organic, almost mystical approach to music composition.The synths are carefully selected to preserve the ethereal quality of the original dream-inspired melodies. The production techniques maintain the music’s peaceful essence, making Dreams Remembered into a highly memorable release. It is bold and quiet at the same time.“
