Finger style and Acoustic Progressive guitar, flute, synth and Mellotron.
Welcome to the music of Carlo D'Anna's Ridiculous Dream music. Also known as "Dream Warrior" in some circles. Influences and music styles ranging from basic to progressive rock, with definite Retro seventies sound. If you enjoy the sound of Moody Blues, George Harrison, Genesis, Dead Can Dance, and others of the same style, more or less, you will probably like this music. I use quite a bit of Mellotron and acoustic fingerstyle guitar as well.

Lyrics
Lying around-With my feet off the ground-Suspended in the void of night without sound. Nobody but the moon around. The dream comes to me-the memories of how I used to be-when I socialized in a different sort of sea. Coyote in a field-about a mile away-yapping about his yield of prey. Good for him, he’s bound to live another day. I'm giving in to the voice that talks to me. He takes me everywhere I go and everywhere that I know. Taking in account of what it could have been-I consider myself lucky that I’m warm and dry-with a roof and clothes to get me by. If I say-that life’s not eternal and what you see today-is what it’s all about. You will find comfort- in the Status Quo, and relish in being an average Joe. All is not lost-because the Universe is one huge coin toss-and chaos is the boss.

The first thing I notice is your vocals! Reall well sung, with great determination and those vocal melodies not easy to sing, with their intricate movements, sometimes almost arabic in tone. The whole piece is really well put together and instruments keep getting introduced with great, new little tunes. I think you like to put in something that is a little "off" in your music and that is what makes it so interesting. Again I am amazed at your hypnotizing music,. I don't know how you do it, Carlo, but you do it so well!

Digging "Dreaming Aloud." Reminds me of early David Bowie. Nicely done, Carlo.

oh Man ! this has a heady and stoned West Coast vibe going on. I must agree that this song kind of pulls you into the dreamy atmosphere. I can almost smell the patchouli oil. joking aside, this is really great Carlo. I like it.

man, this has such a spacey vibe. you've brought it off really well. I agree with the 'early 70's' feel. I like that edge of dissonance, trippy stuff.

You sound like you're in your comfort zone on this song, Carlo, and that's a good thing. Lots of good 'stuff' going on here. Nice!
A relaxing retrospective, and I dig that swing. There's some fascinating twists in the chord progression too. The sound really comes together like a hand woven fabric - the individual bits meld together to make something really unique. Lots to absorb, but there's plenty of reasons to come back for another spin to do just that.

Psychedelic mystic, yes indeed. It really feels like being dragged into your dream and just experience it. Wow, that guitar, your vocals and your lyrics. The slow rhythm. It all feels like a hypnose too. This was a very strong inspiration, I guess, and I enjoyed it from the beginning until the end. Very well done, Carlo!

Dreaming aloud... this has always gotten me into trouble in one way or another ;) But still, the dreams can be welcoming... And this is definitely a dreamy piece my friend - love the "far away" effects on your vocals. Excellent arrangement!!

A bit of Sid Barrett shining through here & there in this captivating tune, digging the heavy alongside the drifting gentleness.
