Dream Walks by Michaël Attias - Simon Nabatov
"The starry floor/The watery shore/Is given thee til the break of day.“
William Blake
Music records a dream in which your other body goes out for a walk with a friend or two or more and brings back things you can grasp in the real world.
If the ground beneath you is water and reflects the stars you may dream you're walking on stars. One morning, the Somnambulist woke up from his dream-walk with a record in his hand and miraculously they were all there: the uncanny encounters, spooling elucubrations and sundry telepathies, the underwater tangos with bio-luminescent angels, the slow-mo visions of white horses fleeing a burning sail-ship in the night.
Following up on 2021's Brooklyn Mischiefs, this is the second album dreamwalkers Michaël Attias and Simon Nabatov have recorded in duo. The listener is invited to leave her or his carcass behind and take a stroll.
