Dream Skills IV: Side B

Dream Skills IV: Side A

An Idea by Dream Skills, G.W. Sok, with additional instrumentation by Annie Simeone, Armando Morales, and Bianca Bibiloni. Recorded at Electrical Audio by Steve Albini. Mixed at Machines with Magnets by Seth Manchester. Mastered at Scape Mastering by Stefan Betke. Album will be released on SGG this summer. All rights reserved fortissimo records 2024.

"An idea with the recording at Steve Albini's was to utilize his professional knowledge of sound, while harnessing the power of electrical audio's amplifiers and microphones using only analog synthesis. I took advantage of the beautiful sonic dynamics of studio B and had an interest in exploring how to make the synthesizer sound like a guitar for this particular 'idea'. At certain points of the recording, I peaked the amps and tape on purpose to create a distortion like none other. It was beautiful. The results with Jos' vocals and Annie’s cello are fascinating to me.

Thank you for listening". Donald Grant McLean
