Clint E (Clinton) is a producer and DJ who started, Inspired by Breathing, an independent label based in Australia, exploring the slower, deeper side of electronic music. With a focus on ambient, downtempo and emotive soundscapes, we share music that invites spaciousness, warmth and reflection. A home for artists creating colour, texture and feeling, music that inspires you to breathe The Sound of Dreams is the labels latest project; a compilation album exploring the phenomenon of dream incorporation the way external stimuli, such as sound, light, temperature, or texture, can infiltrate and shape the dream state. Featuring artists from around Australia and the world, each artist has engaged with this concept in diverse ways: some drawing on personal experiences, crafting pieces that capture sensations tied to memory or past dreams, while others have approached it with deliberate intent, creating audio environments designed to influence the dreaming mind. This project is not a retrospective of past dreams, but an exploration of how external influences can subtly shift and transform the landscape of sleep itself.
