Maciek Szymczuk : light of the dreams

MACIEK SZYMCZUK ( Poland) is a gifted producer/composer of ambient, world music and other forms of experimental electronics and “Light of the Dreams” is his fourth solo Zoharum release. It consists of eight compositions in which ambient sounds are intertwined with the rhythmic, trance, Berlin School and oriental influences which could be heard in Szymczuk’s other projects until now. The leitmotif are dreams, but the album is not submerged in the sleepy and lazy atmospheres. It’s easier to find the psychedelic and surreal visions, crazy swings of moods and musical action. In his latest songs you hear references to the best afrobeat, dub, psychedelia straight from the 1960s and 1970s. A trained ear can hear traces of the cult FM synthesis-a synth sounds made famous in the 1980s. Like his previous album, “Music for Cassandra,” this one is (almost) exclusively instrumental, lasting a bit over 40 minutes. The graphic design by Karolina Stanieczek corresponds in a great way with music. Economical and minimalist form of the cover can be modified – colour templates are inserted into the cover and you can supplement the front cover with them. This way everyone can “dream” their dream.
