Steinway artist, Chad Lawson, decided Chopin needed a new introduction.  Along with violinist Judy Kang (Lady Gaga, Ryuichi Sakamoto) and cellist Rubin Kodheli (Kanye West, Norah Jones), Lawson has arranged ten Chopin works into a minimalist landscape.

It's a risk editing the "poet of the piano" but one that Chopin would be proud of.  

Taking 10 Chopin works, Lawson decided to scale the works down to a minimalist setting.  "I knew even if bare-bones, Chopin's works could still be as spellbinding as the original compositions we are so familiar with." says the pianist.  

Produced by Chad Lawson & Alejandro Clavijo. Mixed by Stephen Lee Price.  Mastered by Michael Graves of Osiris Studios (Atlanta, GA).

LifeDream is set in disturbing and surreal future where the male population have died out due to an Alien chemical warfare drug, leaving behind only women. Although most of the population grieve for their men and desperately want them back, some of the women in positions of power have got very comfortable in their new governmental jobs, and fear the possibility of men ever returning, especially as advancements in technology have meant that dreams can now be turned in to a reality. In an effort to keep control, The Government employ Dream Sweepers to collect peoples dreams. Once the dreams are collected, certain ones are disposed of, and the rest are shown on a reality TV show called LifeDream, where people have an opportunity of wining the prize of their dreams coming true. The problem is that not all the dreams are happy ones, and the future of reality entertainment has become a sadistic and horrific one.

In this story a Dream Sweeper falls in love with the dreams of a women called Sam. It is illegal for her to view these dreams as it distracts her from the job, but she has become obsessed with the purity and simplicity of Sam's dreams, which are rare qualities in modern times. Sam regularly dreams of a man she is in love with, and of gazing at the stars, a far cry from her abusive childhood. Unexpectedly one night, Sam dreams of smashing her TV and causing the downfall of LifeDream and the government mind control. Due to the Dream Sweepers distraction, Sam's dream suddenly becomes a reality, everyone gradually starts to open their eyes, and the Dreamsweeper finally gets to see in to Sams eyes. The Dream Sweeper despairs as she watches Sam leave her gaze for the arms of the man from her dreams. Everyone questions whether they are awake, or still dreaming.
