Ah where to begin.
It’s been quite the journey since Dreamfullofzen started back in 2007. Here we are, heading straight into 2025, a mere 18 years later on.
For those just discovering my career, know I started producing a fusion of film score, modern rock, ethno/new age, and industrial textures to form a signature sound, which grew and evolved throughout my tenure as DFZ, solo artist and producer. I went from producing full length albums, to more easily digestible E.P releases, which eventually I guess, became buried in the sea of streaming indie releases.
My last release was in 2017, with the almost invisible release of “Alone in This World But Not The Next”, which I released on Bandcamp as a pay what you want release.
I also worked as a Freelance for hire producer and soloist, primarily as a player of the Armenian Duduk, an exotic and unique double reed wind instrument. During my tenure as a Music Professor at the A.U.C, I amassed enough research on the instrument and it’s repertoire to write a thesis for a Ph.D that I didn’t end up pursuing, which was eventually edited into the book “The Armenian Duduk: a complete guide”.
With the changes to the industry, and growth that comes from taking the journey in the creative paths of the soul, I found myself pulled back to where I originally started: the tech world.
