Dream U


This mix is also part of the very early music collection of a still very new collaborative music making project called MixterPlus.

Based on a vocal track “Did I dream you?” originally created and shared by “Loveshadow” – one of the most talented, skilled and prolific music makers you will find anywhere in the collaborative music scene – and in many ways my musical hero.

Casting aside the intimidation I feel around his work, this little production, re-imagines his vocal track into a different context:

Imagine a little studio on the outskirts of Paris, where two long distance musical friends meet in person for the very first time – one arriving from the UK, and the other one from far away Canada. In that studio they find some vintage musical gear, like analog string machines, an electric piano, maybe even a Mellotron and various analog synths and a vocoder, along with a Fender Bass VI – with flat wound strings! – And a few video games.

Maybe a few pints were shared. Maybe memories of long ago loves, too.

Loveshadow sits down behind the microphone on a dusty old electric piano, while Nico5 picks up the Fender Bass VI …

Or was that just a dream?
