Shaun Sankaran used to be known as Mindfuckingboy. But he doesn’t go by that moniker anymore. He is a reformed man these days. No more hardcore drinking, no more extreme noise that assault your senses. (just listen to MFB II, the 2009 CD he released – even my cats get disturbed)
Released online in June, Dream State Vision is Shaun dreaming ahead of the PM of what the state should be. Singapore Conversations?Dream State Vision is the perfect soundtrack for that. At 2 hour 17 minute and 21 seconds, it is ambient music to filter out the buzz.
What a difference a year makes. One year ago, Shaun released his longest track yet. If you think I am just playing a broken record, you will regret it is 1 hour 57 minutes and 46 seconds long of some of the most tortured music you will ever hear. But the signs were there even back in 2009. The last track of MFB II, Immaculate, preludes Dream State Vision.
To launch the release of Dream State Vision, Shaun played at home gigs hosted by friends at different parts of Singapore. Four were held in June and July. These are the pictures taken at the home gigs.
Wish you were here.
