Dreamscape: Eric Slavin on music, dreams and his new CD

Leora Zeitlin

The late guitarist and composer Philip Rosheger said that his music came to him fully composed during his night-time dreams, and his task was to write the music down as soon as he woke up. He and others who have had similar experiences call the process “dreamscaping.” El Paso-based guitarist Eric Slavin has dedicated his new CD – called “Dreamscape” – to his friend Rosheger, who died in late 2013. He joined KRWG’s Intermezzo host, Leora Zeitlin, to talk about dreamscaping, several of the composers featured on the cd, the different guitars he performs on, and how he shared music with his children, who are both now music majors in college. Recorded on Feb. 12, 2015.
