Daydreamer’s Dance

Making of

Information

Daydreamer’s Dance is a very good example of how songs can come into being for me. It has a lot to do with my mantra: “Just start – the universe will do the rest”.

There are creative moments when I know there is not enough time that day to create something elaborate. Then I create a short sketch from the vague idea, consisting only of tempo, a musical motif and sound space. It is saved under a usually completely arbitrary name for possible later elaboration. Many of these sketches remain in this stage for a long time because I can’t pick up on this mood. More precisely, there is no new creative impulse that would justify further development.

Daydreamer’s Dance lay in this pigeonhole as a file “lollofiffi” (haha). Then one day I decided to launch the “Holistic Entprima Weeks” to visualise the stylistic diversity of the songs with 3 releases in 3 weeks. The Entprima Jazz Cosmonauts and Captain Entprima already had finished songs, but Alexis Entprima, the music producing dance music machine did not.

So I pulled lollofiffi out of the pigeonhole and listened to the draft. The mood and tempo didn’t seem very close to a dance track at first. But as a passionate storyteller, I quickly had an image in my mind’s eye of daydreamers dancing away lost in thought. That was then enough for the work of the universe. Of course, it also takes a bit of craftsmanship to follow the path laid out.
