In Your ‘Dead Dreamz’; Music by Andrea Morgan

Working at The Inkwell always brings a span of music culture, but out of all the musicians who come to our Thursday open mic nights, 25-year-old Andrea Morgan of Middletown, has definitely stood out brightly. In her band, Dead Dreamz, a new and experimental turn of musical events, Morgan brings electronic, synthy, pop vibes to a catchy, deep, and new dimension.

Originally a singer-songwriter in her personal musical form, Morgan is established in audio engineering, sound design, writing and mixing music for multi-media purpose, production, marketing, and public relations. Morgan is a graduate of Berklee College of Music Cum Laude with a degree in Audio Production and Engineering.

Nevertheless, I want to focus on Dead Dreamz. An inspiring mix of Morgan’s original music, Dead Dreamz, showcases Morgan’s rooted music prior to her venture into pop music. Able to peer through Morgan’s vocals on songs like “Someday” and “American Suburbs” from her SoundCloud, I feel her feeling, I feel her transformation, and unapologetic passion for her work.

I feel as though the multi-talented musician, is able to understand that art transforms and changes like the seasons. I feel Morgan take pride in her infulences of pop and I believe that pride and her pure humbleness is what makes her art easy to feel along to, relate to, and great. 

Morgan has said that pop music has influenced her greatly. In discussing pop and peoples’ negative view of it, Morgan said that pop music is fun and easy for a majority of people to like. In agreement, I told her a story of Bob Dylan who pulled out an electric guitar on stage instead of an acoustic and was called a sellout. All genres of music seem to venture to a rise into the mainstream becoming a part of pop culture. 

“I hate it when people call musicians sellouts for making pop music,” said Morgan. If the musician is the person they always were and their music is theirs why would they be sellouts? We discussed this transition into the mainstream with longtime folk musicians, Tegan and Sara. After a decade and a half of bringing folk music to the ears of their audiences, the duo decided to reroute their music to pop. Having been called sellouts, Tegan and Sara take pride in their new sound and are still, and always will be, Tegan and Sara. 

Morgan and I discussed that art is transformative. In fact, having checked out her website, Morgan has delved into many different and sorted music adventures. The musician stated on her website, “My first love has always been music but after attending Berklee I realized how much more there is to music, sound, and creative development throughout our everyday lives.”

Morgan’s work outside of her music, is a reflection of pop music. Like pop music, advertising, commercials, and their music affect how we view the world, products, values, and art.  Morgan has written, recorded, and produced music for commercials, as well as mixing music for animation, writing arrangements for commercial jingles, and producing, engineering and mixing for other artists. These are the little snippets of music that make what we see come to life, pulling at our heart strings, leaving us in suspense, or making us laugh. 

It seems as an artist, Morgan is influenced by the ways music grabs hold of all our lives. Just like breathing, music naturally encompasses and surrounds us daily in the decisions we make and the items we consume. When I listen to the music Morgan creates for the listeners' enjoyment, I ultimately feel the heart implemented and that, to me, is happiness. 

I look forward to the music to come from Dead Dreamz. For more on Morgan, check out her website www.andreamorgancreative.com, her SoundCloud, soundcloud.com/deaddreamz/tracks, and come to The Inkwell Coffeehouse for open mic nights, Thursdays at 8pm.
