home page - Owl Cave Dreams

We are two musicians, from quite different backgrounds, Scottish and Canadian, based in Berlin. We call the music we make ‘Ethereal Psychedelic’… a combination of psychedelic ambient and ethereal wave – as if, say, Tangerine Dream met Robert Fripp and the Cocteau Twins for a mysterious sonic ritual in the woods behind Brian Eno’s house…

“The Long Now” is our first finished album, officially released on April 20 2020 and now live on all major streaming services… Click here (or on the album cover) to learn more!

Soundtracks to imaginary movies, invisible landscapes, and impossible journeys… darkness, beauty, exuberant colour and haunting shadow… sometimes light and ethereal, sometimes chaotic and unsettling… always moving, swirling, dancing away from expectations, coalescing into strange formations, hovering, and changing again…

Our music unfolds in real time, together in one room. No master plan – we press record, we play, we listen, we respond. Loops are made, modified, transformed, destroyed. Sounds pass back and forth, transformed, re-framed, re-imagined. A conversation encapsulating various dichotomies: strings and keys, digital & analog, analytical & emotional, scientific & spiritual, signal and noise, sense and nonsense…

‘Coincidence and fate figure largely in our music… We have no idea where this will lead us, but we have a definite feeling it will be both wonderful and strange…’

In these strange and difficult times, it’s more important than ever for artists and musicians to engage directly with art- and music-lovers. We’re going to be releasing a lot more music soon – as well as video and live-streamed performances – and we’d love to stay in touch so we can let you know what’s happening… and we’d be happy to hear from you too!
