Imagined Realities by Squid in Chains
Imagined Realities is the second in a series of four recordings by Squid in Chains that were developed at the Canadian Music Centre Creative Residency in Vancouver, Canada over three weeks in late 2023 to January 2024. The album is the result of recording hours of intense sessions of creative exploration, then sifting through to find the gems.
The album features whimsical explorations of time, timbre, repetition, and space.
Attuned to the group sound, and informed by decades of practice as composers and improvising musicians, Squid in Chains takes the listener on a journey into the contemporary psyche and Zeitgeist.
