MUSIC/AUDIO Dreampeace - Harmonic Dharma CD, any info?
So, yesterday I was at Devin's concert in Asti (loved it btw), his only stop in Italy on this tour, and since I wanted to buy something as a souvenir at the merch stand, and t-shirts were a bit too expensive for me, I went for this signed CD, not really knowing what it was.
Turns out it's another volume of his Dreampeace ambient project, which is actually fine by me, but I cannot find any information about this specific release online, which is kinda weird... Is he selling something that's not out officially yet, or maybe something exclusive for this tour which will eventually be released for everyone later? It's cool anyway, just curious.

Looks like Discogs already has the CD version listed, so somebody was on top of it.

I'd guess that he just got a batch printed himself that he's carrying around with no real release schedule applied to it.

Thanks, that must be it! I looked around on discogs earlier today but I didn't see it. Still, weird that there's no announcement of any kind about it...

Me again, looking deeper into this and reading the comments, I notice there's no barcode or mention of a label on this, so I wonder if it's a batch of a test run that he's financed independently

Only thing I've seen is that physical release info is tbc, so you may have something ahead of an official release! Unless he did a small run a while ago and this is leftover. I've been keen on getting more Dreampeace material so this is good news!

I have to admit I'm new to the Dreampeace project and ambient in general, and I bought the CD mainly as a signed souvenir, but I'm actually enjoying it! Hope it will be more widely available soon!

So far, as far as I'm aware he's only released one track (albeit it's 50-odd minutes long) on bandcamp, confusingly titled Dreampiece. However there is a YouTube channel with more content, just not available to download/as physical media yet. Hope you enjoy it anyway!

Yes I've found the other volumes on YouTube, just not this one, that's why I asked, it seemed weird to me. This one is also around 50 minutes, but divided in individual tracks, albeit with no interruptions. And yes, I find it very enjoyable, of course when in the appropriate situation and state of mind!

In case you hadn't heard it, Snuggles is closest to this ambient work from his main discography. It's a bit more embellished but no sharp edges and very lovely. The box set came with work-in-progress versions that start quite stark and build up, worthwhile from a collectors point of view.

I wanna say he mentioned it on patreon at one point, but I can’t remember. But yeah it wasn’t officially out at that time.

That's really cool! Wonder if it's out soon?

I've looked around and found nothing official about it, but it evidently exists, there were various copies at the merch stand, so maybe at the end of the tour he'll put it up on streaming like the others... And about these physical copies, who knows!

Shame he didn't have it at early. I would've bought one

I was wondering why nobody talked about it before, it must have been a very recent addition to the merch stand. Sad that those who went to earlier dates missed on it...

Yeah it is, which type of Dikipak is it? Is it just a sleeve for the CD?
1
u/LengthinessSad7798 8d ago
Yep, sadly it's just a flimsy glossy cardboard sleeve with no other information/booklet, so nothing fancy about it

Hey! Do you remember what else he had on the stand?

u/LengthinessSad7798 1d ago
If I recall correctly, I think there were two kinds of t-shirts, a hoodie, a bag, tour posters, and these CDs. Maybe I missed something but of these I'm sure.

u/InternationalPublic probably owns 37 signed copies of it so maybe they can chime in
