DreamSTATE is a Canadian ambient music project known for their soundscape installations and early live ambient performances in the Toronto, Ontario area.
Their first ambient installation, "waveforms" (1996), was mounted in the H5 holographic gallery in Toronto where it played continuously for 6 months.
dreamSTATE's first CD release, "BETWEEN REALITIES" (1998), was a one-hour excerpt from that installation.
In 2000 dreamSTATE began curating THE AMBiENT PiNG, a weekly live ambient performance event in Toronto providing a stage for developing artists in the genre and hosting notable touring performers such as Robert Rich, Sara Ayers, Alpha Wave Movement, Erik Wollo, Tom Heasley, James Johnson and Vir Unis.
Their soundscapes from that installation (inspired by the book "Moon Sea Crossing" by poet Lynn Harrigan) were released as the CD "PASSAGE" in 2005.
