Welcome to the music of Carlo D'Anna's Ridiculous Dream music. Also known as "Dream Warrior" in some circles. Influences and music styles ranging from basic to progressive rock, with definite Retro seventies sound. If you enjoy the sound of Moody Blues, George Harrison, Genesis, Dead Can Dance, and others of the same style, more or less, you will probably like this music. I use quite a bit of Mellotron and acoustic fingerstyle guitar as well.Have you performed in front of an audience?I have played mainly as a street musician and in Folk life fairs in the town of Santa Cruz, Calif. and in a few gigs with others. I have formed a small group of like-minded fools to play in my area as well.
Your musical influences
I listen to alot of 70's Prog-Rock and obscure European RIO (Rock in Opposition), and World.
My Favs are early Genesis, Danny Kirwan of early Fleetwood Mac, Anthony Phillips, Robert Wyatt, Steve Hackett, King Crimson, Leo Kotke, John Fahey, Spirit, and Quicksilver Messenger Service. Michael Hedges, some jazz and classical. And let us not forget the great Ren and Stimpy. My own interest is Fingerstyle Guitar and Rhythm Guitar.What equipment do you use?
Fernandes Sustainer Les Gibson guitar. Six string Ovation Guitar, 12 string acoustic/electric Takamine dread. Gibson electric semi-hollow body guitar, Martin Dreadnaught 6 string guitar, Asian Bamboo flute, tabla and tamborine. I also now use M-tron, Sampletron, IK Multimedia Fender.
I record using Protools 8.01. Xpand, BFD DrumsAnything else?

Hey Braaah, I'll echo what Greg said and add that this was an old fave of mine and you've done a fantastic rendition of it here. Not enough stars to give but top shelf all the way!Wow, this is EPIC in every way, intro is so beautiful (your guitar playing is ace!) and builds just so right - vocals are perfect and I’m getting Nick Cave and H&C vibes with your arrangement and playing. Carlo, this is a masterful piece of work mate! 10/10!Love this one Carlo, such a chillout tune !!went looking for a psychedelic track and found this gem! great piece and immediately we're in the late 60's - love this track Carlo, it's groovy, trippy and reminiscent of a time long gone! riff is great, drives it all all the way home!All comments (2,781)
