Another fine album from Andrew, in a similar vein to his recent ICR CD 'The End Times'.
Edition of 300, comes in a mini handmade gatefold jacket.
Dreams, subtitled Scenes I-XV, captures imaginary scenes and sequenced into a full album of 52 minutes length at Impression Lointaine.
Dreams being archaic and unpredictable in its composition, such as dreams themselves that make little sense upon waking and assembled using time limited constraints. And while immersed, and in privacy, form a thread of personal communication like a nostalgic memory-a painting of which we inhabit ourselves.
Recorded at Impression Lointaine 2016-2019
Vocals by Naoko Suzuki
1. This Pendent World (17:04)
Superb melancholic electronic minimal prog with an Italian 1970’s elegance.
2. Paradise Lost (17:09)
Invisible and intangible, like the wind touches your skin.
ICR is happy to be releasing the first new solo album by Andrew in five years, completed in 2022 at Impression Lointaine.
Thirteen beautiful melodic tracks that weave in and out of focus in an almost hallucinatory manner, evoking many different moods and emotions.
13 tracks in a digipack sleeve, mastered by Dennis Blackham with artwork by Andrew.
Edition of 250 copies in tipped-on sleeves with Japanese obi, insert and postcard. Entirely handmade sleeve edition of Painted Screens – designed & assembled at Impression Lointaine.
Music box : intimate music with a large palette of instruments ; Voices and sounds, mixed feelings and mysteries…A window opened on travelling memories, half-awakened thoughts and shared moments – dreamed and nocturnal wandering atmospheres, with undulating rays sporadically lighting a subconscious painting.
In this album (originally released in 2014), newly remastered for this vinyl edition, Andrew Chalk plays musical arrangements along with Federico Durand, Daisuke & Naoko Suzuki, Francis Plagne & Timo Van Luijk.
