ON A BLUE ROAD

All Day I Dream

Info:

As We Welcome Another Talented Artist To Our Family We Asked Viken About The First Part Of A Two Part Release And He Told Us It S Really Important To Understand That This Ep Is A Series Of Pictures Telling A Story. Combining The Names Of All The Tracks One Gets This Interesting And Dreamy Sentence, On A Blue Road A White Shadow Feels The Winter. To Translate These Pictures Into Music, I Needed A Very Particular Sound. Since I Am A Huge Fan Of Jazz Music I Took One Of My Favorite Records, Used A Lot Of Samples And Reworked Them In My Own Way. From The Technical Aspect, I Decided To Reconnect With My First Love: Analog Machines. I Love Working With Sound Textures. I Stayed Away From My Laptop And All My Vst/plugins As I Felt The Need To Compose These Tracks In An Unusual Way: I Wanted The Sound To Be Really Pure. That S The Reason Why This Process Was So Essential For Me. For Me, This Ep Is The First One To Sound Like This. This Is The First Of Two Releases From A Deeply Talented Soul. A Patient Collage Of House, Jazz, Acid Squiggles And Deep Emotion. Played And Loved All Summer Long By Lee Burridge At All Day I Dream, These Tracks Will Stay With You Through Winter And Into Next Summer.
