‘Murmuration’ is from Reinhard Vanbergen's upcoming album ‘Moving Moments (inspired by Zoro Feigl)’. 

‘Murmuration’ →https://music-for-dreams.lnk.to/murmuration

Zoro Feigl makes large installations that always have a mechanical moving element to them. ‘Murmuration’ is inspired by an installation that illustrates a transparent circular disc (8m in diameter) hanging from the ceiling, that slowly turns.

On the surface of the disc, hundreds of small balls move along with the moving disc, creating a swam like sound and a visible swarm. You can hear the original sound of the installation in this track. The music drags you into this swarm and makes you become a part of it.

Reinhard Vanbergen - Murmuration - s0614

Music For Dreams presents Copenhagen 2022 Vol. 2 compiled by Kenneth Bager.

'Copenhagen 2022 Vol. 2' →https://linktr.ee/musicfordreams

Just like Vol 1. earlier this year, it’s a compilation filled to the rim with catchy blessings, making sure that you can withhold from the winter to coming.

Noticeable amongst this compilation’s 19 blessings is the opener ‘Aviator’ by the inventive, percussion- based ensemble Sun Creatures consisting of the two musicians Arto Eriksen and Fridolin Nordsø. A sexy jazzy single that could have come out of a stripped-down Love Unlimited Orchestra tune. Another addition is Brit- ish-Chinese DJ and producer Ken Fan that delivers a slice of surging euphoria with ‘Desire’. It’s an operatic journey of blissful pads and majestic piano rises, sus- tained by dynamic drum work. Furthermore, it’s the first single from Ken Fan’s forthcoming project with MFD.

Label-boss Kenneth Bager, the Turkish islandman and Jez Phunk has gotten together and created the won- der ‘Lost’, an exclusive for this compilation. ‘Lost’ is a ra- ther up-tempo chill-out tune with a catchy bassline, chords, shouting tales and a violin solo. DJ Disse’s iconic track ‘Taxi to War’ has been remixed by new- comers Subnesia so “la la lay” yourself through your day.

CHAIRNOGOODFORBACK is featured with their single ‘High Mountains Wild Rivers’. The duo says that they wanted to reflect the stream of consciousness and the idea of being able to comprehend and overcome sit- uations in life through common sense.

Finishing off Copenhagen 2022 Vol. 2 is Venezuelan Vi- nicio Adames who’s won several awards for his sound- tracks on Venezuelan movies. This time he’s featured with a church like ‘Ocre’.

Drift away into the 19 blessings of Copenhagen 2022 Vol. 2.

Kenneth Bager - Copenhagen 2022 Vol. 2 (Full Comp) - 0274

This album is a compilation of Reinhard Vanbergen’s work. Compiled by Jon Tattersall, Music for Dreams’ label manager and a close friend. This compilation saw the light after Vanbergen released 17 solo albums in 3 years of different styles and another dozen releases with various other projects.

'An Introduction' →https://linktr.ee/musicfordreams

Vanbergen’s solo albums with vocals are all co- written with Charlotte Caluwaerts. The instrumental albums are a mix of nu-classical, ambient, and cinematic soundscapes. Stringed instruments mostly being the basic ingredient of it all, contributing to Vanbergen’s signature sound.

Vanbergen have made a series of “Inspired by” albums and some of the tracks are featured on this ‘best of’ album. For those albums, artists outside of music ignited the inspiration. A painter, a star chef, a photographer, a VR game company, an installation artist...
To stay within this tradition, Vanbergen asked for a painting by another inspiring artist he was lucky enough to meet while he was on tour in Kosovo.

Fitore Berisha Alisdottir is a Kosovar-Icelandic artist. Through her art, she brings out the emotions of desperation and the expression of those surrounding her. Her colours represent the future she hopes to see, vibrant and full of love. Her work treats human problems and obstacles from daily life, which she's witnessed during her journeys in many different places.

Sharing art, connecting and supporting other artists, and building a network of like-minded people was the common ground from the start with Kenneth Bager’s Music For Dreams, and the spirit in which all Vanbergen’s albums and projects were created.

Reinhard Vanbergen - An Introduction (Full Album) - 0270

Kenneth Bager was invited to the cinema by
his dear friend, the movie enthusiast Peder 
Pedersen. They watched the classic ‘The Thief’ 
by Michael Mann starring James Caan in the
 lead role. The soundtrack was made by the 
legendary German electronica band 
Tangerine Dream. The music was pumping and
 made an immense impression on Kenneth.

'East Of North' →https://linktr.ee/musicfordreams

A few days later Kenneth had a visitor, Tolga
 Böyük from the Turkish band islandman. The 
two watched William Friedkin’s ‘Sorcerer’
once again Tangerine Dream delivered the
 soundtrack.

Post watching the movie Kenneth and Tolga 
felt the inspiration to do the soundtrack for a
 non-existing. They started out composing five
 tracks before going to bed.

The next day, still excited about yesterday’s 
movie, the two came up with the album title 
‘East of North’ (Tolga being from the east and 
Kenneth from the north). Together they kept
 up the good work and manage to produce 10 
tracks within 24 hours.

They imagined that the music told a story
 about two people on the ice sheet. One of
 them treasonously tries to fool the other.

The album cover picture was captured on a 
windy day near a beach in Hellerup, Denmark.
The music is a tribute to some of history’s most
 significant electronic film composers: Vangelis,
 John Carpenter and Tangerine Dream.

Tolga Böyük & Kenneth Bager - East Of North (Full Album) - 0281

‘Sea, Sand & Sun’ is a modern cover by Charlotte & Reinhard of the infamous classic ‘Sea, Sex and Sun’ by Serge Gainsbourg. The result is sultry and invites you to dance with a glass of champagne by the sea, on the sand in the sun.

'Sea, Sand & Sun' →https://linktr.ee/musicfordreams

WECANDANCE “We admire Charlotte & Reinhard deeply as artists. Their take and knowledge of music and instruments are more than an inspiration to us. We're proud to say they have been our music directors the past couple of years, making a rework of classic tracks that link to our theme. Did you know that even our own name, ‘WECANDANCE’ finds its origin in the 80’s song ‘Safety Dance by Men Without Hats’? Tracks from the 80s inspire us each year for our theme and sometimes even, just as this year, for our theme name. Sea, Sand & Sun is a catchy and festive edit that makes us long for our summer on the beach with all our visitors. We’re in for a celebration!”

Charlotte & Reinhard “The collaboration between us and WECANDANCE has been going strong for several years. We’ve made previous theme songs for the festival and even formed our band ‘Acid Cowboys’ for one of their editions. We really feel that the gesture and investment of repeatedly working with us for their track and last year’s full album is something that reappears on the festival site itself. WECANDANCE is decorated with contemporary sculptures, high- level food and drinks of their own creation... They really install a dynamic and a modern view on what future festival experiences should be, for its audience and artists.”

Charlotte & Reinhard, WECANDANCE - Sea, Sand & Sun - s0689

The belgian producer Reinhard Vanbergen is releasing his new album

'Meditation On Modern Modes' →https://linktr.ee/musicfordreams

All 7 tracks on this album are exactly 10 minutes long, one for each day of the week.
The number 7 seems to like the shape of the circle. 
When I started researching what my underlaying story could be, I came across the 7 church modes. 
In the western classical music, we know 2 modes, our minor scale (Aeolian) and our major scale (Ionian). 
We lost 5 scales, 5 colors, over the course of history going back to the Greek. The Western music system relied more and more on vertical harmony, while the modal system uses primarily a horizontal based harmony.
The piano is the easiest way to explain the modes: the scale starting from any white key of the piano to the same note an octave higher or lower, gives us a mode with its typical division and order of whole and half notes, specific to the modes. (tone, tone, half tone, tone, tone, tone, half tone for example is the Ionian, our major scale.)
The circle of fifths is yet another circle, one of 12 but with the 7 notes as building block. the number 12 seems to like circles too: the months, 12 hours, star signs…
If you go left on the circle of fifths, the first 7 notes give you the Locrian mode and if you go right the first 7 notes give you the Lydian mode. Those 2 modes are each other’s opposites, most minor and dark to most major and light. In between those 2 you can rank the other 5 from les minor to the more major. As turns out, this also follows the circle of fifths. This order is: Locrian, Phrygian, Aeolian, Dorian, Mixolydian, Ionian, and Lydian. On a piano the scales starting from B, E, A, D, G, C and F.
But what day could be paired with what mode? 
There is a dozen more circles of 7: the colors of the rainbow, the electromagnetic spectrum, the 7 crystal structures, 7 basic emotions and the chakras for example. The latter translated even means circle.
The ranking of the 7 church modes from dark to light seems a match with the chakras, Locrian being the root, and Lydian the crown. The up warts visualization of the chakras and the circle within are very similar to the 7 church modes. The upwards motion is the minor to major movement. Bothe the Locrian and the Lydian scale have a connection with the diminished 5th and the augmented 4th (being enharmonically the same), and thus closing the circle. 
Chakras also have known links to the 5 visible planets and the moon and the sun. The root is linked with Mars, navel with Mercury, Solar Plexus with Jupiter, Heart with Venus, Throat with Saturn, Third eye with the Sun, and crown with the Moon. Those 7 celestial bodies have a link to the days of the week: Saturday, Sunday and Monday are obviously linked to Saturn, the Sun and Moon.  In French you have Mardi, Mercredi, Jeudi, and Vendredi standing for Mars, Mercurius, Jupiter and Venus… When we start on a Tuesday with the Locrian scale and the red root chakra, it all falls beautifully into place. As the days of the week also follow the logical order of the week in the order of the chakras, again in a circle.

Reinhard Vanbergen - Meditation on Modern Modes (Full Album) - 0313

The Vanbergen-Caluwaerts home was a hive of creative activity throughout the end of 2022, with the studio constantly buzzing with new music. Despite a relatively quieter year for releases in 2022, due to Reinhard and Charlotte's tour commitments with Rheinzand and Hercules & Love Affair, they returned home full of inspiration and energy. The result is an impressive six new albums, all set to be released in 2023 through their trusted Danish label, Music For Dreams. Each album will feature a carefully chosen single followed by the full album.

'Together' →https://linktr.ee/musicfordreams

One of the standout tracks from Reinhard Vanbergen's upcoming album is "Together," the lead single for his second 2023 release. This is the follow-up album to 2021's "Reinhard & Reinhard". This first record was a collaboration between Vanbergen and the other Reinhard, Reinhard Roelandts. Vanbergen provided acoustic layers over electronic modular synths that Roelandts built himself. The goal was to emphasize the atmosphere that Roelandts had already created. For this follow-up album, a very different approach was taken, with the focus shifting to finding the hidden essence of the song. Charlotte Caluwaerts took on a crucial role in this album, using her vocal prowess and lyrical skills to help bring out the songs. The result is a powerful collaboration aptly titled "Reinhard & Reinhard & Charlotte," featuring the drumming talents of Gert Malfliet (known for his work with Tristan, Tsar B, and Tessa Dixson).

With complete creative freedom for the lyrics, Caluwaerts drew on recent life experiences to craft emotive and nostalgic verses that explore the theme of goodbyes. The lead single "Together" is a poignant reminder that even in the face of big goodbyes, the connections we make with others remain unbreakable. The album artwork for both the single and album features stunning paintings by Nicolas Boussemaere, whose realistic style perfectly complements the dreamy and wistful mood of the music.

Reinhard Vanbergen, Reinhard Roelandts, Charlotte Caluwaerts - Together - s0700

Angus Gruzman stylishly surfs the cosmic frequencies of hazy electronics and blissful home listening vibes. As one of the visionaries behind Multi Culti, this fine Aussie gentleman has been freeing bodies and expanding minds alongside his good mate Thomas Von Party. Given the fact that we could use some amplification of the mind ourselves, we asked him to serve us the goods. Furthermore, we connected with the sonic globetrotter to see what he has cooking these days (it turns out to be banana bread), among other things.
