about
Pat Carroll - To Dream of Substance
___
'To Dream of Substance' marks a move into a deeper territory of experimental electronic music.
I've been feeling a pull into this new musical territory for a while, and with that comes a pull out of some previous territory. I wanted to mark this point with this piece. At its core is the theme of 'endings as beginnings'. The starting point for making this piece was the idea to create an opening that sounded simultaneously like an ending and a beginning.
From here–and consistent with this theme–the piece is built on feelings of pressure, accumulation, force and catharsis.
I teamed up with Mica Studios, who conceptualised and brought to life these insane visuals to support the track. It was a real joy collaborating with a bunch of talented legends.
