Dreamwell 7 by Andy Pickford

Back in 2022 I released a collection of redux remixes under the blanket name Dreamwell. Since then I've released a few more things of course and I thought it might be nice to catch up on the Dreamwell series by presenting a new collection of pieces created from their originals made during this time. Certainly more accessible if you're not so much into massively long tracks. Additionally, these remixes are more electronica chillout oriented, bringing my synth work to the fore.
All the tracks on here are featured, in their original forms, on my albums released since the last Dreamwell collection ie: from around 2022 onwards... mostly. If anything on these hasn't been released before it wouldn't surprise me. My session folders are about as organised as a dozen cats and a bag of catnip.

I think every so often it's good for me to do something like this in order to get an objective view on what I've been creating. And of course albums of shorter pieces have an entirely different feel about them.

I've always used the best Atmos upmixing I can rig together myself. I've looked at some very very expensive Atmos upmixing plugins, consulted AI and decided the software is extortionate and largely pointless. I'm not producing for film or games so I don't require anything from the "King's New Clothes' playbook. If you're anything like me, neither do you. You can rig up something more configurable on your DAW (if you use a DAW that is), which is adaptable to your own preferences. It took me ten minutes to set my own version up for free. Just purge the urge for stupid and do it yourself.

I make immersive synth music, create my own art, eat, drink, shit and exist. Having been doing this for 40 years has got me into Wikipedia. Whoopee!
