Cat Dreams is an album by American composer and musician Ned Lagin.
Cat Dreams[1] was completed in 2016. It is Ned Lagin's first music CD, and first public music, since 1975.
The album Cat Dreams is a suite of composed pieces, and melodic, tonal, and rhythmic frameworks for improvisation. The album was recorded on a laptop computer, mostly in Lagin's living room, and with some sessions taking place in practice rooms. All of the recordings are first takes, in effect making for a "live" album.[2]
The album contains 17 tracks; all are composed by Ned Lagin.
Cat Dreams is the first of the planned two CDs release that comprise the full suite of compositions.
