What is it that makes us call something dreamlike? The mere and simple fact that we can’t get a grasp on it? Or is it something deeper, something we feel that is not a part of our World, the one we think having under control? Listening to Take Care To Fall makes one start to wonder about things like this. This soundscapes released under the name of Drekka are vague, very vague. One Michael Anderson recorded them somewhere at the end of 1997. For some reason they’ve been stored away for five years. It looks like nature has added a little this and that to the lo-fi recordings, since then. So when Anderson listened back to the broken voice and melancholic acoustic guitars on his tapes, he learned that under his music, a whole wide World of sound had come into existence. Beautiful, dreamlike sounds, echoing. And in those sounds a simple guy is trying to play his simple songs. Anderson is like a street-musician. Everyone passes him by, but still he does exist. And if, for some reason, we would step out of our daily routine, to watch it go by ourselves, our attention will be grasped by this very beautiful string of melodies coming from this guy with the guitar at the street-corner. Has he been there before? Out of this World. But if you’d look at the globe from a distance, you could pick him out easily out of everything happening. If space-travel is not your thing, you can pick his CD out of the store. If that isn’t dreamlike, I don’t know what is.
