Epic Songs/Tracks/Tunes (10mins plus)


Matje, 10mins plus Romanian underground specialist.

Been following him since I heard his take on 'The Doors - Riders On The Storm' (duration: 10'50") @ Rumors, Destino 2018.

'Dreaming' is probably his longest production to date (31'10").
Half an hour of continued minimal techno trotting, no full spun intro nor any breakdown.
Something I'd gladly let pass 99% of the time if it wasn't for Matje.

But I think he nailed it here.
Musical pattern and vocals fit nicely the psychedelic theme.
Notwithstanding the simple and subdued buildup it doesn't sound monotonous.
The extra long duration makes it feel like a journey.
Apparently vocals are taken from a spiritual book called 'The Four Agreements'.

Excerpt:
What you are seeing and hearing right now is nothing but a dream. You are dreaming right now in this moment. You are dreaming with the brain awake. Dreaming is the main function of the mind, and the mind dreams twenty-four hours a day. It dreams when the brain is awake, and it also dreams when the brain is asleep. The difference is that when the brain is awake, there is a material frame that makes us perceive things in a linear way. When we go to sleep we do not have the frame, and the dream has the tendency to change constantly. Humans are dreaming all the time. Before we were born the humans before us created a big outside dream that we will call society's dream or the dream of the planet. The dream of the planet is the collective dream of billions of smaller, personal dreams, which together create a dream of a family, a dream of a community, a dream of a city, a dream of a country, and finally a dream of the whole humanity. The dream of the planet includes all of society's rules, its beliefs, its laws, its religions, its different cultures and ways to be, its governments, schools, social events, and holidays. We are born with the capacity to learn how to dream, and the humans who live before us teach us how to dream the way society dreams. The outside dream has so many rules that when a new human is born, we hook the child's attention and introduce these rules into his or her mind. The outside dream uses Mom and Dad, the schools, and religion to teach us how to dream. Attention is the ability we have to discriminate and to focus only on that which we want to perceive. We can perceive millions of things simultaneously, but using our attention, we can hold whatever we want to perceive in the foreground of our mind. The adults around us hooked our attention and put information into our minds through repetition. That is the way we learned everything we know. By using our attention we learned a whole reality, a whole dream. We learned how to behave in society: what to believe and what not to believe; what is acceptable and what is not acceptable; what is good and what is bad; what is beautiful and what is ugly; what is right and what is wrong...
