about

Music is full of Mathematics
Mathematics is full of Music

In August 1843, Ada Lovelace wrote, in Notes On The Analytical Engine,

"the engine might compose elaborate and scientific pieces of music of any degree of complexity or extent"

Three years in the making and with a total playing time of 3 hours and 33 minutes, Notes From The Analytical Dream is twenty three realisations of that vision, each a journey into strange lands, familiar and yet not, unchanging but without repetition. As John Peel said of The Fall, "always different, always the same"(*)

Kick back, relax, and enjoy endless journeys(**) towards infinity.

(*) This is not like The Fall.

(**) Not actually endless. Average track length 9 minutes 15 seconds.
