Sepia Dreamer

History

Sepia Dreamer were formed in the middle of 2003 by current members Jonas Wrenninge and Sam Brokenshaw, meeting originally in an internet chatroom and being impressed by each other's taste in music and movies.

After a steady stream of recordings were sent back and forth, the name Sepia Dreamer somehow occurred and was settled on for an instrumental project with as few limits as possible. Both members are insistent upon keeping an open mind and avoiding placing unnecessary limits on the music.

By the end of 2003 enough material was ready to begin working on the debut album 'Portraits of Forgotten Memories'. The album was recorded by Jonas and Sam at their respective home studios in Cardiff, Wales and Stockholm, Sweden. The pair shared the engineering and producing duties with Jonas taking care of the mixing and mastering job.
The song writing was split at roughly 50/50 with both members handling most of the instruments on their own material. The album was released in 2004.

The second album 'The Sublime' was released in February 2007 via Galactic Records. Thematically it deals with the terrible beauty of nature, focusing on a painting by renowned artist JW Turner: "Slavers Throwing Overboard the Dead and Dying - Typhoon coming on ('The Slave Ship')". The band hope to emulate the awesome, fearful forces and powers of nature on this new release and to expand their musical lexicon whist maintaining a consistent and coherent thread from the debut.
