CUTS

Dream Voyager EP

  1. 1.Dream Voyager (Slowdive Remix)

"Dream Voyager is completely influenced by my experiences with sleep paralysis – feeling conscious but locked in your dream world whilst it takes place around you in your paralysed state. It’s like you become a witness to your own dream. It’s a portal of confusion where the narrative is blurred. You become the dream voyager." - Anthony Tombling Jr, CUTS. Reflecting these experiences, the electric hum, pounding drums and indistinct vocals (Patti Aberhart) of 'Dream Voyager' provide a perfect introduction to the eight tracks that comprise the tenebrous 'EXIST' EPs. Developing the mood of that project even further, Slowdive remould 'Dream Voyager' in their image by adding a pulsating heartbeat and swathes of hazy, atmospheric guitar while Chatwin transforms the tune into a turbulent workout decked with cascading analogue synths and wild, distorted percussion.

CUTS

CUTS is the musical project of composer and filmmaker Anthony Tombling Jr.

Describing his debut Village Green project, 'EXIST', Anthony says:

“In 2012 I was involved in a car crash and the resulting shock manifested itself in experiencing sleep paralysis for the first time. I was inspired to try and recreate some of those experiences through music and film. 

It made me view my approach to music in a different way, EXIST is a collection of those visions. With all CUTS material I try to take influence from the non-musical, for instance an abandoned space. There is a stillness with places that are in slow decay. I try to imagine what that would sound like. 

In taking influence from things outside of music I feel my own music becomes less tied to comparison. As a composer working this way has been deeply cathartic.”
