Wewantsounds presents a long-overdue release of cult recordings by Brion Gysin, produced by Ramuntcho Matta across the 1980s and early 1990s. At its core is ‘Dreamachine’, a spellbinding 32-minute piece that translates the sensory effects of Gysin’s famed light-based artwork into a deeply immersive audio experience.

The release also includes ‘The Door’, featuring the distinctive voice of visionary saxophonist Steve Lacy, adding a further dimension to Gysin’s explorations of rhythm, repetition, and altered perception.

A central figure in post-war avant-garde culture, Gysin’s ideas left a profound mark on artists and thinkers ranging from William Burroughs to David Bowie and Laurie Anderson. These recordings capture that radical spirit in sound, revealing an artist working beyond conventional boundaries.

The material is newly remastered and accompanied by insightful liner notes from Gysin scholar Jason Weiss. The release arrives alongside renewed international attention on Gysin’s legacy, including a major exhibition at Museum of Modern Art, reaffirming his enduring influence on contemporary culture.
