Here’s a little animation I made showing the different phases of making a vinyl record.
This animation is part of the Making of Dream Analog Documentary to be released later this year.

The Sound of Vinyl is easy on the ears
According to recent statistics 70% of the US Music Market is older music. I would guess that most of this music was recorded analog. To me it just feels better on the ears mostly because you are listening to a natural sine wave instead of a machine made square wave. Vinyl record sales are the only sector of music that is growing.
Dream Analog is a True Analog Recording
Out on 180g Vinyl. I also released it digitally as a download and CD. We took the analog recordings and then digitized them. I still bet you can hear the difference in warmth.

Dream Analog Review — Goldmine Magazine
Grace Gravity, a band helmed by Teri Hitt on vocals and acoustic guitar and featuring June Kato on bass, James Whelan on keys, Brian David Hardin on drums, and various backing singers — makes an engaging impression with their new album, Dream Analog, a seductive set of songs with a decided allure and intrigue.
Hitt herself is a haunting vocalist, her high pitch delivery often bringing Joni Mitchell to mind. Occasional brass flourishes provide added intrigue, demonstrating the fact that Grace Gravity have both the spark and imagination needed to attract extra attention.
The songs center on a common theme — that is, the perception of what constitutes reality in these uncertain times and how one’s perception of self can help find a center in shifting situations. Keynote song “Whatcha Gonna Do?” provides a propulsive pulse while tracks like “Keep It Together,” “It’s Coming On,” “The Long Road,” Something New Can Grow,” and “Who U R” further affirm that positive perspective and the need to keep that dream — analog or otherwise — alive and thriving. — Lee Zimmerman, GOLDMINE, The Music Collector’s Magazine. https://www.goldminemag.com

LYRICS
When you find out you’re mistaken
when the road your on takes a turn
Just remember
every road
eventually must bend
In the subtle underpinnings
of the life you thought you were leading
there’s a core of believing you must maintain
through the change
There’s a crystal shining vision in the center
if you’re willing
in the center
In dreams you’ve had whisperings
pieces of puzzle falling down
on the table before you
but you’re missing one more sound
The truth in perpetual motion
revealing as it goes
what to give attention
and what you best ignore
There’s a crystal shining vision in the center
if you’re willing
in the center
There’s a crystal shining vision in the center
if you’re willing
in the center
you can get there
you can get there
you can get there
you can get there
In The Center

Dream Analog makes it to Macedonia
Thanks to the international mailing gods, a copy of Dream Analog made it all the way to Macedonia (over 6,700 miles) into the hands of
Vinyl Library.
A story of awakening to a different perspective
The songs on Dream Analog came through over a couple years through the maze and haze of living life.
They popped through to the surface and waved.
There is resonance in nature and resonance in music that is recorded to tape. There is a feeling when you are connected to Nature. In a similar way, when you listen to an analog recording, which means you are listening to sine waves recorded on tape, you are getting more than any artificial environment can manufacture. You are feeling the air. There is air there. The real space is present in the recording.
To me analog means “natural”.
It’s about having a natural connection and connection with the Universal light of resonance so you don’t get lost in the machinations of unconsciousness and stay asleep forever.
With things going the way they seem to be going on the human material plane, the least you can do is continue to Dream Analog. Creativity and loving universal consciousness, the mother consciousness, always finds a way.
These are songs about the path to find out. To discover more about what this reality is and what we can do when we stay in our center with loving kindness.
