A Dream is an oddity within Hantasi's catalogue, an artist whose music has been primarily defined by its leftfield nature. Self-described as an "ambient wall", it manages to live up to that name through a combination of sounds employed by both longform ambient and drone, along with aggressively sharp mixing techniques. This combination, which seems as if it is bound to fail from the outside, creates a truly unique and haunting work in A Dream.
At times, the sound almost feels mechanical, the extent to which imperfections are drawn from sound creating an effect which feels as if the tones are grinding against each other like gears. It becomes hypnotic through repetition, reducing down the essence of each track into nothingness before proceeding to the next.
As with much of Hantasi's work, there is something elusive and indescribable that creates its appeal. Something enigmatic that belongs onto to it, which may not be replicated any time in the near future. The moving pieces within A Dream provoke something strange, almost ethereal, just as reflected by its visual design.

A Dream is an oddity within Hantasi's catalogue, an artist whose music has been primarily defined by its leftfield nature. Self-described as an "ambient wall", it manages to live up to that name through a combination of sounds employed by both longform ambient and drone, along with aggressively sharp mixing techniques. This combination, which seems as if it is bound to fail from the outside, creates a truly unique and haunting work in A Dream.

At times, the sound almost feels mechanical, the extent to which imperfections are drawn from sound creating an effect which feels as if the tones are grinding against each other like gears. It becomes hypnotic through repetition, reducing down the essence of each track into nothingness before proceeding to the next.

As with much of Hantasi's work, there is something elusive and indescribable that creates its appeal. Something enigmatic that belongs onto to it, which may not be replicated any time in the near future. The moving pieces within A Dream provoke something strange, almost ethereal, just as reflected by its visual design.
