about

SSDL1728 a dream of red mansions


release date: 20020817 label: pureambient

dave's sole 2002 release, inspired again by a famous chinese novel, "a dream of red mansions" moves towards brighter, more melodic and modulated loops, and containing a wonderfully diverse selection of loops.

here is a reproduction of the original CD liner notes:


at the dawn of creation
who sowed the sees of love?
from the strong passion of breeze and moonlight they came,
so in this world of sweet longing
on a day of distress, in an hour of loneliness,
fain would I impart my senseless grief
by singing this Dream of Red Mansions
to mourn the Gold and the Jade.

- prologue to a dream of red mansions



the phonographic copyright in these performances / compositions is operated by studio seventeen productions / pureambient on behalf of the artist, with whom it resides. studio seventeen productions / pureambient accepts no reason for artists to give away such copyright interests in their work by virtue of a "common practice" which is out of tune with the times, was always questionable and is now indefensible.
