This guy's only a release and half in and he's already threatening to reorder my current faves list, lol - I am absolutely loving his approach to composition.

I've been reading Ben Okri's The Famished Road - the book has this very roundabout, winding approach to storytelling, where things come and go, events big and small happen and pass, but it's very hard to tell where it is all going, what is significant and what is not -- what the story is, in short. But as it all accumulates, the larger picture takes shape - still not in a definite way, but all the detours and winding start to make a holistic sense - the ambiguity, too, starts to make a certain intuitive sense.

Dean's compositions feel like this - the rising to the surface and then the falling away -- there's just something total about it that is really satisfying.
