about

These are some unreleased tracks I've decided to share. I've been so afraid lately that I've forgotten about love. May this be an act of love. Pay what you want. All Bandcamp sales will be donated to Planned Parenthood.

“Fear is the primary force upholding structures of domination. It promotes the desire for separation, the desire not to be known. When we are taught that safety lies always with sameness, then difference, of any kind, will appear as a threat. When we choose to love we choose to move against fear—against alienation and separation. The choice to love is a choice to connect—to find ourselves in the other.” ― bell hooks

PRESS:

Joel St. Julien’s Dream shouldn’t get lost in the flurry of Bandcamp Day — what supposedly, but who knows, may be the final Bandcamp Day. It’s a track of chaotic gentleness, the fragmented and lushly frantic “You, my love” placed lovingly between two easier-to-love ambient tracks, the foggy title piece and the beading “Endless,” its sparkling tones undergirded by a subdued percussive pelting. “Dream” in particular is something to get lost in. It’s a generous dollop of fuzzy cloud cover and twinkling pointillism. But I’m pretty sure it’s “You, my love” I’ll be returning to. I hear what I think is granulated guitar, the pizzicato sounds crushed and wrinkled into textural mayhem, as the piece unfolds into something downright stratospheric. -- Marc Weidenbaum, Disquiet.com
