about
Dogme 95 is based out of Chicago and strives to push the limits of sound by combining intricate song structure with honest and moving melodies. His name is Nick and he is originally from Dallas, TX. To imagine the Dogme project think Smog/Beck meets Kraftwerk in the garden of Motown. He really enjoys old blues and prison chants from the recordings of Alan Lomax, as well as synth oriented artists such as Brian Eno and David Byrne. Then again, he strives to someway combine these contrasting ideas and the results are thus far extraodinary. He released his first record in May of 2005 called Arcadian Hymns, this record exhibits the diversity in songwriting and multi-layered vocals inspired by 1940's prison chants. In 2006, he looks forward to releasing The Reagle Beagle, which is the fictional story of himself on the boat with Charles Darwin during his studies of Evolution, Origin of the Species, and Survival of the Fittest. This record will be out on Empyrean Records. The name is somewhat inspired by the manifesto drafted in 1995 by Lars Von Trier and the officials of Danish cinema. Think of him as the musical extension of those films. User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
