Moving over the face of the water he looked down beneath at the waves below as they rippled and then vanished out of sight. He wondered what was down there, beneath the murky depths of the ocean – uncharted territory that had never been explored. It seemed so vast and abstract that it was almost beyond the realms of comprehension or understanding…

He was but a mere voyager upon a ship sailing towards a new life. What was deep beneath the murky blue was not to be his business, at least not for today.

They had been travelling for hours having left shore under the cloak of darkness earlier that morning…

It would probably be dark again now.

Anna Wall’s Dream Theory kicks off 2023 with a compilation of abstract ambient music from a carefully handpicked assortment of musicians. The album features a beautiful assortment of sounds and meditative textures which guide us into the new year with a semblance of optimism and poignancy in equal measure.

PREMIERE: Samuel Padden - Voyager [Dream Theory]

Rjpasin - Eggo Song Re-Imagined by Dream Theory

Life is like a flight through space,
A journey vast, a boundless chase.
In early years, we learn and grow,
Preparing for the grandest show.

With countdowns set and engines fired,
Our youthful spirits, strong, inspired.
We launch into the great unknown,
A voyage where our seeds are sown.

Through nebulae of dreams, we soar,
Past comets bright, we seek for more.
Navigating asteroids of doubt,
We find our way, our path, our route.

Black holes of sorrow, we evade,
With starlight hope, we are remade.
In zero-gravity of peace,
We find that joy can never cease.

Through meteors of trials, we fly,
And persevere, we don't ask why.
With cosmic winds, we sail along,
In this celestial, timeless song.

And as we age, our thrusters slow,
Toward a distant world, we go.
A planet where the sun's embrace,
Means death, yet more—a resting place.

An Earth-like realm, so pure, so bright,
Where stars are guides in endless night.
Eternal paradise, serene,
A final home, a perfect scene.

So life, a flight through space, we see,
From takeoff to infinity.
We land on shores of peace and light,
Our journey ends, yet feels so right.
