'New Dream Machine Project' - Shezad Dawood, with The Master Musicians of Jajouka Led by Bachir Attar & Duke Garwood

The artist Shezad Dawood creates a monumental version of the dream machine invented by Brion Gysin, which became an icon in capturing the interest of several artists and scientists. Dawood is looking through the 'New Dream Machine Project' to get closer to the action of the artist and writer Brion Gysin in Morocco 60 years ago , recreating his "Dream Machine", influenced by Sufi philosophy and action hallucinatory light.

At the Cinematheque de Tanger, a single concert performance will resume the recording of 1968 from the legendary Brian Jones (Rolling Stones) and 'Master Musicians of Jajouka' (which played regularly at the "1001 Nights", the famous Coffee Shop Brion Gysin in Tangiers). This is the new generation of "Master Musicians" and the famous British guitarist Duke Garwood will try to recreate that moment of legend around the giant dream machine that will be installed for the occasion. Shezad Dawood is also completing a documentary film in 16 mm around this event.

This Project is developped in Morocco by Shezad Dawood, in Collaboration with The Apartment 22 & the Cinematheque Tangier.
