It is incredibly hard - or even impossible - to describe what came out of this ephemeral Portuguese project, for most of the pieces presented here have been brought to daylight in a very spontaneous way.
In this work, consisting of solitary and somehow improvised reveries, one's able to find, although moreless melodic, naïve and repetitive structures that emerged from a mind which, back in 2003, could only be deemed troubled. Decaying Dance, for instance, came from out of nowhere. It wasn't written or planned - not even the lyrics.
The starting point? A walk, getting home, programming a very simple drums sequence, a cigarette. Only one take into the left-hand path of consciousness.
All the songs, except A Soundscape to Oblivion, were recorded in 2003, making the building blocks of Inner Dimension. The tracks were subsequently remastered, for this demo, two years after being recorded (and first distributed on CD-R format), was still far away from complete oblivion. The fifth track, conceived in 2007, had its first appearance at a poetry recital, being then remixed in order to quote Inner Dimension. Neverthless, being this long ambiental track a good conclusion (and, somehow, an ominous one, given the song's monotonous and eerie spectre) for the first and only chapter in the Morning Mist short story, it now rests in peace beside its predecessors.
The set here published was initially intended to be issued on a 12 inch vynil record, being side one comprised of Inner Dimension (2003), while the second side was to house A Soundscape to Oblivion (2007). However, due to some disagreements with a certain label which it is best not to name - for this project is already defunct and meant to remain as such - the release of both demos never came to happen.

Please stay courteous and be sincere (for good and bad!). It can be an interesting read for others, but only if it is constructive and doesn't disparage the artist.
Please write about the music itself and don't be too hard on the sound quality of some demos.
