Post-fusion, nu-jazz group DREAMSCAPES is a UK based collective that transcends genre, producing music with a sense of true freedom. It unites the compositions and improvisational prowess of five unique musicians who draw from a melting-pot of influences. Their ability to eschew traditional structures and follow where the moment takes them gives rise to "immediately engaging, fresh and original music" (TDE). Expect to hear prog-rock grooves, delicate songwriting with a touch of Brazilian spirit and ambient electronic landscapes fused into one distinct sound.

DREAMSCAPES features some of the UK's most exciting up-and-coming improvisers: Lucy-Anne Daniels on vocals, Cenk Esen on keyboards, George Garford on saxophone/flute, Jonno Gaze on drums and myself, Julien Durand on guitar and compositions.

The music draws from an eclectic blend of influences ranging from the rock tones and folky melodies of Led Zeppelin to the minimalism and textures of Eberhard Weber and the ECM label. Having just spent 3 months in Brazil studying with great composers such as Toninho Horta, Daniel Santiago and Guinga as part of an Arts Council DYCP fund, the band will be incorporating more elements of Brazilian music as well: a stronger emphasis on rhythm, groove and songs. In fact, this has been DREAMSCAPES' ethos since the beginning: the exploration of freedom and improvisation that can be found within song structures, valuing the importance of simple melodies and beautiful harmonies.
