Dreams Lost In Time is proud to present, Keep Searching, a 360° visual album by Sam Stevens.
Keep Searching invites you on an immersive musical journey through beautiful places in nature, exploring remote mountains, serene beaches, lush forests and colorful deserts - admiring the depths of consciousness, time and space. This meditative film is interwoven with music from Esperas’ debut album of the same title, featuring all original downtempo compositions which are melodic, uplifting and relaxing.
The intention of Keep Searching is to honor the beauty, peace and spiritual connections found in nature while reflecting upon the importance of love, companionship and community.
This artistic and musical film is family-friendly and engages a wide audience, offering a unique and memorable experience for everyone.
“I was blessed to grow up in the mountains of Colorado, where I found inspiration in the nourishment and healing that nature and music can bring into our lives. I carry this with me throughout my life and in 2010 this became one of the central motivations to create my first 360° visual album. After over a decade in the making, Keep Searching was completed in the spring of 2023. I hope that Keep Searching will provide moving and transformative experiences, inspiring awe and wonder. From the mountains of Colorado to scenic beaches, magical forests to long nights lost deep in the desert, every scene represents the powerful effect that nature has on each of us, breathing life into the mind and soul. I believe that the viewer will find this film to be centering – full of beauty and profound meaning.” (Sam Stevens, 2023)
