Awaken to Dream
A New Age Lament by Jim Obermeyer

About the Album:

Awaken to Dream is an original work by Jim Obermeyer. It is a series of short New Age type pieces created without any specific point in mind. All the sounds emanate from a digital piano with all the bells and whistles. Jim likes to compose his music in the early hours of the morning, when itâs quiet, long before the sunrise. Inspiration comes from the past, whether it is good or bad. Mostly itâs a combination of both, a reflection of life embodied in sound.
The title âAwaken to Dreamâ is from the past. It was the brainstorm of a man I knew named Murray Braverman. Murray owned a bicycle shop called Murita Cycles many years ago in Staten Island, NY.
Awaken to Dream was originally intended to be the title of a movie by Murrayâs son Barry. It was about a lost soul, back in the early 1970âs, who was hitchhiking across America with his guitar in hand trying to find himself. It was a novel idea back then but the movie was scrapped because of production problems and Barry didnât have enough money to get out of the State of New Jersey. Barry later did another movie about Murray called âMurita Cyclesâ which aired on PBS on June 17th, 1979.
Murray has passed on, so I dedicate this work in memory of him. By the way, he would have absolutely hated it!
