We are the music makers, And we are the dreamers of dreams, Wandering by lone sea-breakers, And sitting by desolate streams;— World-losers and world-forsakers, On whom the pale moon gleams: Yet we are the movers and shakers Of the world for ever, it seems.

about

Omnicore Records 06

In Low Entropy's own words:

The "Dreams" album, released in 2013, was to me one of the most important releases I ever did. Not because it went big or had a lot of success, which it had not, but for more personal reasons.
I did it in a time I was very nihilist and pushed a bleak worldview, but I longed for more. So I did this release, in which I tried to go total with this nihilism, but also trying to reach idealism and truth at the same time.
So on one hand i wanted to erase everything I associated with music production and its rules; the tracks were all extremely lo-fi, no EQ, hardly any reverb or processing, hard clipping; absolute reduction of elements, sometimes just synths and a drum in the instrumental section.
But on the other hand, there was the 'idealist' longing, and this went into the production of the tracks too; I wanted to evoke dreams, ideals, otherwordly feelings with the choice of sounds and melodies; but most importantly, with the lyrics to the tracks.

So we have "We are the dreamers of dreams" which was based on a 19th century poem.
"Freaks United", a tale of the power of freaks and outcasts and a hymn celebrating those who dare to be different to the social norm.
"Global Riots", as a counterpoint to the more positive songs, with its talk about a global societal collapse; but an *ideal*, imagined counterpoint.
"Henrys", well, it's a long story, maybe I will tell it another day.
"Let Us Change The World", a call for political change, still more emotional then intellectual, but already with a definitive focus.
"Androgynous Girl", well, as the name says, a song celebrating those that are more on the androgynous spectrum.
And finally "Speech", contrary to its title, more a hypnotic recitation of mantras that tries to feed your mind.

But, overall, the main theme of the whole release is, as the name says, "Dreams". About dreamers, the world of dreams, visonaries, fantasies, imagination - and the underlying power of all of this.

So the release went out; and it changed my whole trajectory of doing music.
I quickly left the minimalism and nihlism behind, and instead of reduced lo-fi tracks began making complex and complicated productions again. And I discovered the philosophy of idealism and tried to incorporate it into my sound.

Over the years, the thought came to me to revisit these tracks; and turn these demo-like, fragmented sounds into fully fleshed tracks with better production values.

And I finally did! The result is here: "Dreams Revisited"

It was fun to work on these tracks again, and I put a lot of thoughts and energy into these productions, more than usually, and I'm really happy with the results.
On the stylistical level, a lof ot stuff is going on here:

Cosmic Ambient, Industrial Slowcore, Oldschool Speedcore, Spoken Word, New Wave Ravecore, Erotic Acid EBM, Krautrock, just to name a few aspects of it.

Aswell as the normal tracks, I also added instrumental versions of most the tracks.

So, after all this is said, I hope you enjoy this conceptual album a bit, too!
"Dreams Revisited", for real!
