EN Bio
Dream Metaphor is a Portuguese Project which was born totally by chance, on October, 2004. It all started on September, 2004 when [Replycant] decided once again to dedicate some of his time to music. He started then the composition of what would have been a demo for the project Ezylohm_tek. The ideas were emerging, the music were being born The demos name was then chosen: Dream Metaphor. Under lifes circumstancesat that time he was kind of nostalgic and melancholicso the music started to reflect that state of mind. Feeling that this wasnt the Ezylom_tek sound, Dream Metaphor was born. After this, the demo was called [Contact] and the dreams started to materialise. In September, 2005 Dalila B. was invited to sing a new song, in order to introduce another human element on the compositions. Dalila becomes the voice of some songs, and gives a great support on live performances, on the synthesizers. Dream Metaphor intends to be an attempt to giving life to dreams through music. The music tries to be as simple as possible, melodic and on the other hand mechanic, the duality of man/machine, the organic vs synthetic. The concept is essentially about the dreams world, and the way it is translated so many times, through the imaginary of the cinema, specially in futuristic films, scientific fiction and the dark.

Dream Metaphor nasceu um pouco por acaso, em Outubro de 2004. Tudo começou em Setembro de 2004 quando [Replycant] decide voltar a dedicar mais tempo à música. Iniciou então a composição do que seria uma demo do projecto Ezylohm_tek. As idéias foram surgindo, as músicas foram nascendo... O nome da demo foi entretanto escolhido: Dream Metaphor. Devido a circunstâncias da vida, nessa altura andava meio nostálgico e melancólico, e por isso as músicas começaram a refletir um pouco esse estado de espírito. Sentindo que esse não era o som de Ezylohm_tek, Dream Metaphor teve quase que obrigatoriamente nascer. Depois disso a demo passou a chamar-se [Contact] e os sonhos foram-se materializando. Em Setembro de 2005 Dalila B. é convidada a cantar um tema novo, de modo a introduzir mais um elemento humano nas composições. Dalila torna-se assim a voz de alguns temas e dá um grande apoio ao vivo, nos teclados. Dream Metaphor pretende ser apenas uma tentativa de dar vida aos sonhos através da música. A música tenta ser o mais simples possível, por um lado melódica por outro "mecânica", a dualidade homem/máquina, o orgânico vs sintético. O conceito gira essencialmente em torno do mundo dos sonhos e da forma como é muitas vezes traduzido, através do imaginário, do cinema, em especial os filmes futuristas, de ficção científica e "dark".
FR Bio
Dream Metaphor est un project musical portugais qui est né un peu par hasard, en octobre 2004. Tout a commencé en septembre 2004 quand [Replycant] décide de consacrer à nouveau plus de temps à la musique. Il a initié alors la composition d’une démo du projet Ezylohm_tek. Les idées sont apparues, les musiques nées... Le nom de la démo a été choisi : Dream Metaphor. Dû à des circonstances de la vie, à cette occasion il se sentait nostalgique et mélancolique, et donc les musiques ont commencé à refléter un peu cet état d’esprit. En sentant que celui-là n’était pas le son d’Ezylohm_tek, Dream Metaphor est né. Après cela la démo a changé de nom et est devenu [Contact] et les rêves se sont matérialisés. En septembre 2005 Dalila B. est invité à chanter une nouvelle musique, afin d’introduire un autre élément humain dans les compositions. Dalila devient ainsi la voix de quelques musiques et donne une grande aide en concert, dans les synthées. Dream Metaphor prétend être seulement une tentative de donner vie aux rêves à travers la musique. La musique essaye d’être le plus simple possible, d’une part mélodique d’autre part mécanique, la dualité homme/machine, l’organique contre le synthétique. Le concept tourne essentiellement autour du monde des rêves et de la forme comme ils sont beaucoup de fois traduis, à travers l’imaginaire, du cinéma, en particulier les films futuristes, de fiction scientifique et dark.
