The Dream System – In The Press
“Jam packed with vintage synth tones that meld
together into a straightforward pop track. While synthesizers form the core of The Dream System’s unique electronic
pop sound, the song is elevated to a higher plane by its ethereal female
vocals.” – mxdwn.com

About The Dream System
The Dream System is a newly-formed, synth-based pop duo out of Los
Angeles that combines the talents of veteran musicians David Klotz and Erica
Elektra.
The vintage instruments used on the band’s debut album
Music
from The Dream System (Feb. 9th,
Minty Fresh) are veterans, too, and
include a large assortment of Rolands,
Korgs, and Yamahas, along with the (attention, geeks!) Crumar Performer, LinnDrum
LM-2, and Omnichord System 100.
Recording with synths from the early 1980’s, The Dream System’s debut emerges from
these origins of artifice with natural-sounding pop songs inspired by Vangelis, The Human League, Tangerine
Dream, and Duran Duran.
Not only is the musical partnership of the humans in The Dream System new, so is the
relationship to the band’s large brood of keys. Klotz, whose day job has earned him four Emmy awards as the Music
Editor of television shows such as “Stranger
Things,” “Game of Thrones,” and “American Horror Story” among others,
started acquiring the gear in 2015.
“I was inspired when I started working on ‘Stranger Things’ in 2015 and first
heard the score,” Klotz recalls. “I
loved the sounds that the show’s composers created with synths. It was unlike
anything I’d heard before in the world of film scoring.”
Klotz, who has been making records under various band names for years,
starting in the mid-90’s as Fonda
and most recently in 2016 as People and
Stars, began plotting to make a record of pop songs based around the sound
of these keyboards.
His first stop was eBay.
“The first three synths that I got my hands on were
the Roland Jupiter 8, a Korg Mono/Poly and a Roland SH-2. Those were the three main
synths I used to record our first single ‘Losing
All of You,’” says Klotz.
Elektra’s lyrics and vocals take the tune out of the
atmosphere and grounds it in feeling – heart-tugging and delivered with emotion
– exposing the roots beneath these musical landscapes.
“The Dream
System is the perfect name for us,” Elektra
concludes. “For me, it’s literally a musical dream come true.”
