Setting the tone with synth notes and intricate keys, before expanding into an immersive bass-line and dark-wave psychedelic melodies, Mark Wink opens IN A DREAM with intrigue, dimensionality and deep vocals singing the hook, “I’m just stuck in a dream…”
The opus evolves into a dynamic and cinematic, electronic soundscape and we are hypnotized. The synth-strings are super expansive, and we appreciate the astral and cosmic add libs, as if performed by artificial intelligence, which further amplify the sonic experience.
We love the elements of dark wave that Mark Wink brings to life with IN A DREAM, and how immersive the soundscape of the composition is. The message of the song resonates on a collective level, as we all realise that we are indeed waking from a deep slumber. This is further brought to life by Mark Wink‘s futurist, tech inspired visuals.
We learn that as well as being a multitalented digital mastermind, Mark Wink is also an expert for digital transformation, and works with large corporations and leading technology companies. We love how cohesive his sound is with his wider projects, and appreciate the synergy.
He cites his main influences as bands like Queen and Dire Straits, although it is exceptionally clear that Mark Wink is creating a universe of his own.
We have added IN A DREAM to our New Music Spotlight playlist, whilst we continue to stream the wider discography of Mark Wink, including Down Down and Freeway.
