In addition to the sounds you can hear in ‘Dream On’, here is a collection of short poems for each track that offering an insight into the concept behind this project:

REBUILDING THE DREAM here I am trying to fit old memories in new clothing forcing my rebirth

DREAM ON feeling the heartbeat like a new born seeing through belly skin

WIPED OUT when I hear that ringing I know that nothing will be left of me nothing worth singing about

SLEEPLESS MURMUR turning around in bed counting sheep closing the eyes in darkness. nothing will stop the unrest the murmur of change

SOLD OUT LEONARDO ROSADO - for rreleased by relaxed Machinery (2010)LISTEN/BUY HERE  The title ‘for r’ would suggest a work being dedicated to something or someone and on the surface it appears to be a vague and ambiguous bestowment. Leonardo Rosado chooses not to define what or who ‘r’ may be, however, after spending much time with the three tracks contained within I have come to love the mystery that the title embodies. Listening to the sounds within is awe inspiring and thus Rosado’s patience while constructing these brooding, spacious and fluid pieces is to be praised. A spectrum of emotions flow from the music conjuring childlike imagery with echoing bells, deep unease via augmented drones and bass frequencies, and a wonderful sense of acceptance through the warmth and fragility of the sounds. Rosado’s strength is his undeniable sense of depth, combining organic sounds of water, experimental percussion, shuffling and friction with processed and controlled drones all culminating in a wonderfully balanced form. The synthesis of nature and technology present here is what makes these recordings so rewarding time and time again. Regardless of the ambiguity the title presents, Leonardo Rosado makes a poignant dedication, a dedication that not only celebrates the warmth in life and the beauty we are given, but also the darkness, the unpredictability and the ugly facets of existence.
