‘These Winter Dreams’ is the new solo ambient & soundscape project from All India Radio's Martin Kennedy. In production for over three years - recorded in the quiet moments between the activities of other All India Radio projects, the album is Martin's first purely ‘ambient’, beat-less album.
The album features the beautifully atmospheric pedal steel guitar of Graham Lee (from legendary Aussie band The Triffids and classic KLF albums Chill Out and The White Room) and on remix duties is experimental composer Ai Yamamoto, who added her unique atmospherics to the track ‘Steel Sunrise’.
Full of windswept but warm soundscapes with an emphasis on melody, the album features a wide range of acoustic instruments including David Bridie's (Not Drowning Waving) baby grand piano, an old Yamaha electric piano recorded on an 8-bit mini disc, an Indian harmonium, beat up old acoustics and a range of old synths. When mixed with All India Radio's electronics and found sounds, the results are a luscious blend of the old and the new, the mysterious and the familiar with echoes of Brian Eno, Boards Of Canada and Eluvium.
