„The starry floor/The watery shore/Is given thee til the break of day.“
William Blake
Music records a dream in which your other body goes out for a walk with a friend or two or more and brings back things you can grasp in the real world.
If the ground beneath you is water and reflects the stars you may dream you’re walking on stars. One morning, the Somnambulist woke up from his dream-walk with a record in his hand and miraculously they were all there: the uncanny encounters, spooling elucubrations and sundry telepathies, the underwater tangos with bio-luminescent angels, the slow-mo visions of white horses fleeing a burning sail-ship in the night. Following up on 2021’s Brooklyn Mischiefs, this is the second album dreamwalkers Simon Nabatov and Michaël Attias have recorded in duo. The listener is invited to leave her or his carcass behind and take a stroll.

Michäel Attias and Simon Nabatov met in July 2014 in Brooklyn, NY. They played a set of improvisations at the iBeam, and it was recorded by Randy Thaler. Some years later Leo Records released it as a CD “Brooklyn Mischiefs”. Since this first encounter the two have been musically mischievous every chance they had, mostly either in New York or in Cologne. More recently, the Polish label fundacja sluchaj released their live recording from loft, cologne.
