Description:

France-based percussionist Steve Shehan, who has been active in France since the 1970s, has released the world premiere LP reissue of his masterpiece album "Indigo Dreams" from 1995. The album was inspired by a dream I had one night when I fell asleep and dreamt of The Indigo Night, a novel by Satyajit Ray. In the dream I was in the world of the novel, living and tending an indigo plantation. The dream was so intense that I decided then and there to make an album dedicated to Satyajit Ray. I was also strongly influenced by Satyajit Ray's 1958 film The Music Room. This album was also created in collaboration with a number of guest musicians, who traveled around the world for sessions and were sometimes invited to his Paris studio. Compared to "Arrows," the songs are shorter, and it was a challenge for me to achieve the same depth of expression in that length," said Steve. Environmental sounds recorded in the Amazon, the U.S., Canada, and France are also a part of the album.We hope that you will lose yourself in their tones and travel with them to the world of dreams.
