Soundscapes 1: Dimensions

Burning Dervish utilizes manipulated and modified analog field recordings, digitally generated tones as well as a collection of synthesizers and signal processors to explore the liminal realm between worlds and states of consciousness on the album Soundscapes 1: Dimensions.

The album reflects Burning Dervish’s interest in the 19th century Romantic tradition of program music, and the two tracks spanning over 40 minutes are tone poems inspired by the 1988 book Dimensions: A Casebook of Alien Contact, by the astrophysicist, computer scientist and venture capitalist Jacques Vallee. 

The work gives sonic expression to the history and mystery of the non-human entities that have haunted the mythology, folklore, cosmology, dreams and anxieties of cultures around the world, for millennia.

A lifelong interest in this topic, in its metaphysical and sociological implications, has led Burning Dervish to explore how sound and music might be used to conjure and communicate with these visitors, (or are they co-inhabitants?).
