Biography
Sheffield-based artist, Alex Storer has been composing and recording electronic music under the name ‘The Light Dreams’ since 2006, with musical influence coming from the likes of Jean Michel Jarre, Mike Oldfield, John Foxx and David Bowie.
After working on several albums of demos, the sound and style of The Light Dreams was finally defined in 2007, with the album Into the Light, which also sported stunning cover art from British space artist, David A. Hardy. Taking influence from travel and dreams, the album was a lushly-textured suite of worldly atmospheres and paved the way forward for Alex’s music.
Alex returned to the darker sound of his earlier demos for 2009’s Mechanical Drive, and its follow-up, Inferno in 2012, which was his first commercially available album, via Bandcamp, where he continues to release his music. That same year, he remixed Into the Light to create a definitive and final version of the album (now with bonus track), and worked on an all-orchestral soundtrack to artist David A. Hardy’s English edit of 1957 Russian film, Road to the Stars.
A new track, Chrysalis, also emerged in 2012 – a 26-minute piece of constantly evolving styles and atmospheres. Chrysalis contained elements that would make its way onto the next album, Future Worlds. In 2012, Alex was invited to be the first “Honorary Interstellar Musician” for the newly-established Institute for Interstellar Studies .
A lifetime’s interest in science-fiction formed the backbone to 2013’s Future Worlds, an album designed to take the listener on a journey through various future scenarios, also carrying an underlying message of climate change.
