DREAMSCAPES
"Dreamscapes takes you on a journey through engaging, energetic improvised compositions and delicate ethereal layers." - Alex Carr (Amplify Sounds/Southbank)
“Atmospheric, stadium-sized jazz-rock… Absolutely epic!”
- Somewhere Soul
DREAMSCAPES is a UK-based post-fusion, nu-jazz ensemble blurring the lines of genre boundaries to create a musical experience of true freedom. Drawing from a wide range of influences, their sound is immersive and rich in texture.
Electric instruments and effects craft expansive soundscapes that shift from serene, ambient moments to powerful prog-rock grooves. Known for blending multiple songs into one, DREAMSCAPES seamlessly combine improvisation with intricate structures, pulling audiences into a deep, multi-layered journey. Each performance is distinct, offering an experience that’s as much felt as heard.
After releasing their self-titled EP in January 2024, DREAMSCAPES headlined at Cheltenham Jazz Festival and completed their debut UK tour in September, well-received by audiences around the country. With support from Arts Council England, they are now set to record their first full-length album with producer Chris Hyson.
