THE LIGHT DREAMS

With influences from science fiction, travel and dreams as numerous pioneering artists and composers such as Jean-Michel Jarre, Gary Numan, Tangerine Dream, Depeche Mode & David Bowie (to name a few), ‘The Light Dreams’ is an instrumental Synthesizer project founded by Alex Storer in 2006.

‘Tricks of the Light’ is Mr. Storer’s latest ‘The Light Dreams’ creation. The genesis was a trip he made to Iceland in March 2022. Seeing the Northern Lights from a glass cabin at 3am in the morning made him want to capture that experience in music.

The inspiration however goes beyond seeing the Northern Lights. The idea for ‘Tricks of the Light’ for example, the title track, came when he saw Peter Gabriel in concert in 2023. One of Gabriel’s new songs included a majestic ‘wall of sound’ and that immediately sparked new creativity.

‘Subliminal Resonance’ is a leftover unfinished demo track dating from 2013.

The Result? A concept album with 11 mesmerizing ‘Synth-Spheric’ tracks that will take you on a trip to the Aurora Borealis. All you have to do is close your eyes and listen.

'Tricks of the Light' is available to purchase as digital album via Bandcamp.
