Devin Townsend has made it clear he's into ambient music. From passages in his heavier projects, to full-on solo projects under his own name (here too), Townsend likes him some chill music. Now Townsend has a dedicated ambient project called DreamPeace and seven brand new albums to show for it, all of which you can check out on streaming services below.
Townsend revealed on the DreamPeace website that these albums are ones he's written between releases over the years, and hopes people can find some solace in the relaxing sounds. Now if you'll excuse me, I've got some headphones and a dark room with my name on it. I'll be back.
"Hello, My name is Devin Townsend," wrote Townsend of his new endeavor. "DreamPeace is a longstanding project of mine that I intend to constantly keep producing that functions as music for sleeping, meditation, and relaxing.
"This music is not meant to be focused on, or directly paid attention to. It is meant to be a sonic background to your day. It is music I write alongside all the 'main' releases that I put out, and as such, acts as a balm for me on so many levels. I listen to this music constantly, and have done for years.
"This isn't 'my next release' or anything like that, it is meant to be something that exists along the way. This isn't an A.I generated project, I go through the material from start to finish and enjoy making little 'projects' out of them…naming them, releasing them immediately.
"My aim with this music is to provide a soundtrack for anxious minds. I hope its of some use to you as it is for me."
