The Dreamer [FULL ALBUM]
0:00 - The Void
5:13 - Ant Colony Assembly Line
8:26 - Landscape of Mechanical Wind
20:44 - Chewed Up, Spit Out
23:18 - No Rest for the Weary

38:54 - Chasm of Inferno
48:38 - Somnus, Aloft
This is an album I made for around a year and a half using a library of sounds I had gathered over a long while. The sources ranged from a vast library of loops and soundscapes I had made over many many years, sounds I found online and plenty of samples from films, games and other music. The sounds were then mangled, ripped apart and cobbled back together into a seamless 52-minute Frankenstein monster that I cut into 8 tracks where I saw fit. I didn't have any access to a DAW during this long process but I have owned and used Final Cut Pro X for around 15 years so I decided to approach this album in much the same way I would make a film - laying all the many hundreds of audio tracks in a FCP timeline and stacking them on top of each other until they sounded how I wanted. As one would expect, this was a massive headache and a process I would never recommend anyone else to try.
I had absolutely no clue what I was doing and I'm still as clueless now as I was when I first conceived the project, but I hope the love and passion I put into it is felt through the music and hopefully connects with some of you.
Thanks for checking it out, I hope you enjoy!

    Honestly one of the best and most well made short films I've ever seen. From cinematography, to sound design, score, effects, costumes and sets. All flawless IMO. Totally felt like a big budget production (and you did it on 150,- I read) Just ridiculously impressive!

    I think making the audio more distorted would help the atmosphere, kinda like the audio in Eraserhead. But other than that, this is pretty fucking awesome!
