The name was inspired by a radio show here in Australia called "Dream Time". It ran on the ABC here back in the late 1990's and was one of the few shows that played new age and ambient music on a regular basis. Also a dear friend of mine had just given me a crystal (for holistic healing) at the time. After a bit of brain storming I came up with "Crystal Dreams". The crystal can actually be seen on the covers of the Podcast Archive albums.

At this stage I do not play live. However it is something that I am looking at in the future.

Would you sign a record contract with a major label?

Absolutely. Although I would need to make sure I could continue to release some music under a Creative Commons style license so that my music is accessible to listeners of all types. I would also consider working/signing with a netlabel.

Favorite spot?

My favorite city has to be Melbourne (Australia). I wasn't born there but it's my adopted home.
