'THERE ARE THOSE WHO CONFORM AND THOSE WHO CONFRONT AND NEVER STOP TRANSFORMING'.

From the child with the marching drum grew an unconventional drummer, percussionist, composer, improviser.

Man, machine and nature keep on interacting in constantly transforming constellations. It is a mission of searching, feeling and letting go, the spontaneous game with adventure and connection as underlying key motifs. 

Karen Willems originally started her ‘Terre Sol’ as a solo project with which the drummer and percussionist, born in Belgium in 1979, wanted to explore and reveal her real and imaginary roots. Her aim is to find music in which she could find herself as a spiritual being as well as a creative artist. She is concerned with the essence of her own work, the perception of her own personality and the further development of sound as an art of fusing different aesthetics and genres.

..veils of Illusion have been reported to sometimes crack in the outer limits of the inner-core psyche, almost as an empty egg that disperses from one’s forehead into neutrinos. the pineal activation button, located inside the pastoral nerve centre, does direct the main features of the voyager’s mainframe into appearances..

Dream Metaphor was born in 2004 and has been suffering many mutations during its path. It begun as a futuristic and dark ambient, influenced by Sci-fi, where the machines operated by Leonel Ranção (aka [Replycant]), started transforming dreams into musical notes and atmospheric sounds. Soon a female voice was added to enhance those same dreams. Feeling that that way of materializing dreams was still incomplete, since the interpretations of the oniric world are so unlimited, Dream Metaphor transformed itself into an artistic multimedia collective, where Joana Ranção joined to give those dreams a corporeal form, with her dancing and artistic movements. Music, voice, dance and images combined, and the initial concepts gone now giving place to a new world of metaphors, linking the past and present, to traditions and cultural roots of the Nordeste transmontano ( Northeast of Portugal). But as dreams will always be the fountain of life, a time may come where everything may change, a new path may be found... and paths always have crossroads...
