The Cunningman great for relaxing to, doing yoga or some light meditation. these tracks are really engrossing with a nice mix of synthesised and non synthesised sounds. I find myself coming back to this album time and again. Favorite track: Náhuatl.

about

A famous Aztec poem explains that they did not come to this earth to live; they only came here to sleep and to dream.

Aztec poetry (read by a descendent of the author), a Buddhist ceremony in Vietnam, and a Navajo elder sharing his wisdom provide the inspiration for the tracks on this album. Chris Meyer takes these seeds and carefully crafts entire musical worlds around them with each story slowly unfolding for the listener to explore and enjoy.

At the core of Chris’ creative process is a large modular synthesizer nicknamed The Monster, augmented with primitive hand percussion, field recordings, and modern digital synths. Each was performed straight through in real time with minimal studio overdubs.

Skeleton Keys
by Steve Roach

supported by 18 fans who also own “We Only Came to Dream”

Each of these tracks are skeleton keys that open a portal into another dimension. As such, they are all wonderful in their own right. This release reaches back in time to an age of analog semi-generative ambient exploration. Very much worth a listen. 69dragynz

This album will grow on you. Listen in headphones or earbuds. It will blow your mind. Steve has so many amazing textures and dimensions on this release. It's hard to pick a favorite track. Probably in his top 5, if there is such a thing. 53Guitarman
