Questo album
The Soft Geometry of Dreams è una sequenza di rock psichedelico in sette brani, presentata con un suono analogico di fine anni Sessanta. Il flusso ininterrotto è pensato per la calma, la concentrazione e la riflessione.
Il suono combina chitarra elettrica tremolo, Mellotron, trame di sitar, basso analogico, batteria con spazzole, eco a nastro e phasing. Ogni passaggio confluisce nel successivo senza cambi bruschi.
Invece di comportarsi come sette canzoni separate, l’album è concepito come un unico ambiente ininterrotto. La stanza che respira, la luce che si muove senza un’origine visibile e una voce che resta appena fuori portata ritornano mentre la musica scorre da un passaggio all’altro.
Crescendo di chitarra rovesciata, tremolo pulito, Mellotron, trame simili al sitar, caldo basso analogico, batteria con spazzole, eco a nastro e phasing creano un suono psichedelico volutamente delicato. I cambiamenti arrivano gradualmente, con ripetizioni e lenti spostamenti al posto di transizioni nette o ritornelli convenzionali.
L’esteso centro strumentale permette al disco di allontanarsi il più possibile dalle parole, prima che i movimenti conclusivi ritornino alle immagini di un io riconosciuto a metà e di una stanza familiare. Il finale non si risveglia bruscamente dal sogno; torna a posarsi nello stesso spazio dal quale l’album era cominciato.

Testo completo originale in inglese
Il testo dell’album forma un unico flusso continuo anziché sette blocchi separati brano per brano.
The room is breathing before it speaks A quiet shape behind the weeks Nothing moves yet everything grows In the space where silence flows The room is breathing, soft and low A quiet rhythm I don’t quite know Curtains move but there’s no air Something waking everywhere Light leans softly on the wall Shadows stretch but never fall Every second drifting wide Like the world is turning inside There’s a voice I almost hear Somewhere close but never clear Calling gently through the haze Lost between the lines of days Nothing sharp and nothing fast Just a moment meant to last The room is breathing, I can feel Something slowly turning real Light is moving on its own Tracing paths I’ve never known Sliding slowly across the floor Then returning once more Nothing follows, nothing leads Just a drift of silent needs Every shape begins to sway Then dissolves and fades away I reach out but there is space Soft distortion, no clear place Everything begins to bend Without beginning, without end The room is breathing somewhere near I can feel it, I can hear Light is moving, slow and true Like it never needed you There’s a voice that says my name But it never sounds the same Every time it drifts away Like it doesn’t want to stay I follow but the space grows wide Like it’s pulling from inside Every step becomes unclear Still it feels so very near The room is breathing, slow and deep Like a promise it can’t keep Light is folding into sound Nothing lost and nothing found I don’t know if I should stay Or just slowly drift away There’s a voice I almost claim Somewhere just beyond my name Walls are folding into sky I don’t ask the reason why Every line begins to blur Like a soft remembering stir Ceilings drift and floors expand Nothing stays the way it planned Light is breathing through the seams Building quiet, endless dreams I can feel the motion slow Like a place I used to know Somewhere far but somehow near Soft enough to disappear Nothing breaks and nothing cries Only folding quiet skies The room is breathing far away Still it hasn’t gone astray There’s a shape I almost see Something close to what was me But it shifts before it stays Lost between a thousand ways Every thought becomes a wave Something given, something gave Nothing held and nothing kept Only echoes softly slept The room is breathing, fading light Somewhere drifting out of sight There’s a voice I used to know Now it’s somewhere I can’t go Still I follow, still I stay Even as it slips away There’s a shape I almost knew Something close to being true I am moving but I’m still Like I’ve stepped outside my will Every sound begins to slow To a place I used to know The room is breathing once again Familiar like a distant friend Light is softer than before Resting gently at the door There’s a voice but now it fades Drifting through familiar shades Not as far and not as wide Something settling deep inside I return but not the same Still connected to the frame Of a place I didn’t see But it somehow stayed with me Nothing ends and nothing starts Only quiet, drifting parts I am here but something’s weaving Still returning without leaving
