"liminalia (live from oneiric spaces vol. 3)"
FMOANREM1 | released 2025 | blank hardcover journal (ltd. ed. 100) with compact disc / digital download
cover artwork for journal by Paul Takahashi / layout by TBWB. Journal is intended for recording any dreamed impressions that were inspired by listening to the companion CD before sleeping.
note that this is NOT a "live" album in the traditional sense. Pieces composed for this project are based on recollections of music performed during dreamed concerts. Two additional volumes were recorded in this style, but were submitted to an outside label and then cancelled - so the "3rd" volume (this one) is actually the first full-length to appear publicly.
