I was preparing the backing tracks for our first performances - mixing them / balancing them / muting anything that is going to be performed live - when the 1.5TB drive that I use for storage, decided not to work anymore! I could 'see' the files, but I couldn't open them or copy them!
After many frantic calls to data retrieval services, I visited one this morning (Saturday) and I am told that there is internal damage to the drive. So, the company is going to make a 'mirror' copy of my drive and then copy their version back onto a new drive (which I purchased this morning). This could NOT have come at a worse time. Our first gig is on September 25th. I was also going to mix and balance the demo material with all the instruments - guitar / voice / drum loops etc. - for a CD to sell at the event. This has really set back my plans! I am promised that "if" the material is retrievable (if???), then it will be available by Tuesday. Please keep your fingers, toes and any other body parts crossed for us - a prayer to the Goddess might be in order too. If the recordings aren't retrievable, then we will be doing our first gigs "unplugged." That will be un-planned!
Stay tuned ...

About Me
- Dreams Before Waking
- Dreams Before Waking musically embodies that misty, edge-of-consciousness moment of surfacing from the underworld of sleep into the perception of reality. Comprised of musical talents, Ray Price and Michael Oster, you will be taken on a journey of complex rhythms and original compositions as well as imaginative re-workings of dark and traditional English ballads. From the unique musical framework of Dream Before Waking's genre fusing approach, one may be reminded of Michael Brook, Dead Can Dance, and David Sylvian (Rain Tree Crow). Join Dreams Before Waking on an atmospheric journey into Myth, Magic and Mayhem and experience the dreamworld made tangible.
