"Planet Dream"

"One person may have his or her own dream, but when it's shared and acted upon by others, it no longer belongs to one person alone, it belongs to everyone who shares in it.  The dream becomes a thing that is part of, yet separate from, the dreamer; it grows into a living, dynamic entity. So it is with Planet Dream, whose music is a kind of Gaia of the Sound World--a single, complex interacting system of musical components that forms a seemingly living thing."  Ed Hazell from the liner notes.                                                                                   Recorded in Brooklyn, 2008. Seth Misterka, engineer.
