A Dream I Had- Rich Mangicaro’s THIRD ALBUM
This, my 3rd album is a sonic journey…meditative, ethereal, visual…dream-inducing. Eyes closed, it transports the listener to places both familiar and unfamiliar. Comfortable yet uncomfortable. Contemplative and ultimately playful.
I began writing and recording this material in mid 2022, at the tail end of the pandemic. I think you’ll notice the more meditative nature of this collection, as like many people, I was reflective of what we all went through. While my first 2 albums feature a mix of different music styles, this one is more thematic in nature.
CD NOW available on my Bandcamp page.
A Dream I Had is available on all your favorite digital streaming & download services.
