After his debut album Happy Floating in 2022 (SQM 013LP), Leipzig-based producer Damian Dalla Torre returns to Squama with I Can Feel My Dreams. Developed during a residency in Santiago, Chile, it incorporates electronic, jazz and ambient influences utilizing Andean quena flutes, synthesizers and field recordings and again centering on collaborations with fellow artists like Ruth Goller, Miriam Adefris, and Christian Balvig. A wistful haze runs throughout the album, coming out at the end, there's both light and darkness and no need to choose.

Happy Floating is the debut LP of Italian composer, producer, and reed player Damian Dalla Torre. Over the course of two years, the Leipzig-based artist recorded 19 musicians in all kinds of places to bring to life his unique blend of avant folk and electronic. With reeds, brass, guitars, bass, drums, mallets, synthesizers, organ, and electronics, the album feels like a mindful walk through a flowering meadow, tickling and caressing all at once. Born in Northern Italy to a family of non-musicians, his knack for woodwind instruments was uncovered by the sight of a big shiny baritone saxophone in a red velvet case that belonged to his grandma's neighbor. It was and still is an odd instrument for anyone to play in the Val di Vizze, which may have added to young Damian's excitement. He opted for the slightly smaller tenor saxophone, took up lessons and eventually studied music in Vienna and Leipzig, where he's currently living and working within a spirited network of musicians, of which many are featured on this record. 180 gram vinyl.
