Saxophonist, producer, and composer Brian Allen Simon channels darker, dreamlike states under his Anenon alias on Dream Temperature, a deeply evocative album that brings electronic processing to the foreground through digitized winds and uncanny atmospherics reminiscent of his mid-to-late 2010s work. A Los Angeles native and longtime resident, Simon follows the revered Petrol (2016), Tongue (2018), and the entirely acoustic Moons Melt Milk Light (2023) with a new focus on wind synthesizer, acoustic piano, and tenor saxophone, with electronics literally driven by his breath and shaped via laptop processing, added textures, and field recordings. Across it's 31 minutes, the record moves between urban grit and pastoral drift, capturing the lingering weight of half-remembered dreams; solo and part-solo piano interludes ('Last Sun 1' and '2') cut through the haze with a tender melancholy, while pieces like 'Nulle Part 1+2' pit saxophone flourishes against noisy drones and digital detritus. Recorded at home at dusk and night between September 2024 and October 2025, Dream Temperature expands Simon's sonic universe-from the compact title track's sub-bass and digital sax rasps to the grittier 'When The Light Appears, Boy' and the enveloping ambience of 'Toyama'-with personal location recordings from Sardinia, Japan, Big Sur, and LA surfacing unexpectedly, resulting in a haunting, elegant coalescence of his electronic and acoustic practices.
