Dreams Say, View, Create, Shadow Leads is the second solo album from Dustin Wong following his 2010 double album+DVD release Infinite Love (Thrill 251, Oct 2010). Dustin was a founding member and guitarist of the Baltimore groups Ponytail and Ecstatic Sunshine and with his solo work has been taking listeners on a trip through an intricately colorful wonderland that he creates with only his guitar and a bank of effects pedals.
Dreams Say, View, Create, Shadow Leads is a departure from Dustin’s previous methods as it is more closely a distillation of his live show into recorded form. The pieces are so intricate and detailed that we’ve asked Dustin to explain his process and he happily obliges us:
“I see all these pedals as a kind of textile factory. The sheets and colors are determined then the patterns are laid on top, one layer after another until it becomes a fabric mille feuille. Once that cake looks done it gets replicated again through another delay pedal. I can keep building these sounds on top each other and decide whether I want to take half of the cakes slices or not, if i do, I can gaze at the symmetrical void of what I have taken.
I changed the recording process for Dreams Say, View, Create, Shadow Leads from the process used for Infinite Love. In Infinite Love I recorded every layer as a separate track dividing them up throughout the stereo-field, but in Dreams Say… it was all mostly recorded live with a few overdubs moving around in the stereo-field. The presentation of songs are also different, Infinite Love was presented as a whole, and in Dreams Say… I decided to have titles for each song or idea. In a way the physical documentation and the presentation of the idea got switched. Just like choosing how to see a light through a prism. Whether to see the fragmented light into the prism and out to the single ray of light or the other way around.”
