    Michael E. Perez's Interests
GeneralMusic and photography are my main interests. I have an uncontrollable curiosity about many other things, especially with regards to artistic expression.
MusicProgressive rock, especially of the avant-garde variety, is my favorite, but as a result of music to which I've been introduced at the prog fests I have developed an affinity to all things progressive. All music is fair game, though. Singer/songwriters, alternative, electronic, etc. almost all genres and sub-genres have a place on my shelves. I always loved modern jazz and modern "classical" music, too.
MoviesCathi and I mostly like comedys and science fiction. We have been enjoying going to the Ritz Theaters in Philadelphia on Wednesdays when showings are $6 all day. We've been known to even see two in one day.
TelevisionScience fiction and comedy. Documentaries on archeology, nature, science, superstition, and other subjects. TV is a good place for movies I haven't yet seen, too.
Books"Serious" fiction (in alphabetical order): Kobo Abe, John Barth, Donald Barthelme, Samuel Beckett, Saul Bellow, Jorge Luis Borges, Anthony Burgess, William S. Burroughs, Julio Cortazar, Don Delillo, Carlos Fuentes, William Gaddis, James Joyce, Jack Kerouac, Stanislaw Lem, Vladimir Nabokov, V.S. Naipaul, Thomas Pynchon, and others to be named later.

   Michael E. Perez's Blurbs
About me:
Studio Vheissu & The 1002 Photography Project

Studio Vheissu is my home project studio. I have been accumulating equipment to aid in music composition since 1985. My main instrument has always been the drums and I have a full set of Simmons pads with which I can access any sounds available through MIDI by means of trigger interfaces. There are also keyboards and guitars around the studio that I have taught myself to play through the years. Of course, now all composition and recording is done with the aid of a computer and many programs of software. The external hardware and processing is becoming less and less important, but there it is taking up space.

Much more information is available at my studio website at:

The Studio Vheissu Page

MP3 samples of tracks from my current CD are available at:

Music from a Frozen World

Also, two full length tracks from Music from a Frozen World are available at:

Soundclick

I also love to take photographs. My main interest is outdoor photography and nature, but in the last few years I have also been taking photographs of performing musicians at two annual progressive music festivals I attend - The Rites of Spring Festival (ROSfest) at the end of April and The North East Art Rock Festival (NEARfest) at the end of June - and any other venue that will allow photography. My wife, Cathi, also takes photographs.

Our photography website is at:

The 1002 Photography Project

Photos from ROSfest are at:

ROSfest 2007

and photos from NEARfest are at:

NEARfest 2007

Who I'd like to meet:
Independent minded people who are able be tolerant and respectful to those with different points of view. We don't have to agree about anything beyond the fact that we don't have to agree to be respected. Being able to laugh a lot helps, too.

Mark Dignam has been bumping into Paul Luc and Ben Shannon a lot, at Treelady Studios, where they are all working, on their upcoming albums. They admire each others work so much, they decided to put together what promises to be, a mini singer/songwriter festival.. Watch for special guests and a very memorable night at The Rex Theater, 1602 East Carson Street. Pittsburgh, PA 15203. 8pm. $10.

hey!
we are trying to change something...
our new singer erik can't be a full member of dreamscape because the stess to travel a lot is affecting his health.
so we decided to work with more than one singer - honestly we will work with even more than two...
hopefully you will like that idea! we like it a lot because we will be very flexible and our sound will become even more complex!
kind regards!

PS: always believe in your dreams! and don't get frightened if they are becoming real! - because for a believer they will!
