dream test by Bad Straples
This is a concept album stitching together previous dreams and the past few months of my own misery. I quit my job early this summer and have been soul searching for true purpose... often resulting in heavier depression and alcohol abuse. This was a terse journey to purge that poison.
An Ensoniq electronic piano (using varied key transposition), effects processor, and a loop pedal were the only elements used in this minimal serving of music. All titles are named through dreams I've had and feelings provoked by the raw loops.
A good deal of inspiration comes from the beautiful track "Snow Angel" by Mike Patton (Place Beyond the Pines soundtrack).
