What Are Dreams Made Of? was produced and engineered (as was Is Love
A Fairy Tale?) as well as orchestrated by Aoede’s chief
collaborator, Scrote, who has worked with Jackson Browne, Van Dyke
Parks, Daniel Johnston and The Stripminers.
Stellar
musicians include: Peter Adams, Danny Frankel, Tim LeFebvre, Holland
Greco, Nicky Corbett, Rob Dziubla, Elizabeth Lea, Robby Virus, David
Sands, Sabrosa Purr, Scrote, and Aoede/Lisa Sniderman. In addition
to the return of narrator Kevin Ponthier (who narrated Is Love A
Fairy Tale?), the collection includes guest voice artists, renowned
actor Michael Des Barres (“Phobetor”) and David Yow (“Luk”),
founding member of the band The Jesus Lizard, as well as Joe Donohoe,
Jeremy Little, Seli Marset and Geeta Novotny (the voice of the
Siren).
Several
children contributed their voices to this project as
reception operators at the Department of Dreams and
goblins. Further, many adults and children participated
in a unique crowd chant and stomp for a Goblin Kings
song. Magical artwork and illustrations by Ryan Durney.
Basic tracks were recorded at Ocean Way Studios, Los
Angeles. The project was mastered by Gavin Lurssen
Mastering.
