about

Darker Gods at The Lake of Dreams is the second episode of the multimedia saga Darker Gods, an ever expanding narrative experience from post-disciplinary artist Damon Davis. The follow up to Darker Gods, The Lake of Dreams is a mythical parable that speaks to aspects of the Black American experience.

In this episode of the trilogy, we follow the journey of John Icarus (also known as Black Icarus) the only mortal to ever see The Garden of Low Hanging Heavens where the Darker Gods walk on this plane of reality. Icarus escapes lynching where he was being tarred and feather by flapping and flalling his arms while having his neck in the nose. Through his sheer will to survive, those feathers bound to his arms and became wings, allowing Icarus to escape the hangman’s noose and find salvation atop a holy mountain, where The Garden of Low Hanging Heavens resides. While exploring the garden, Icarus stumbles upon a child god, Blake the Great, trapped by chains at the shore of his Lake of Dreams. Blake tells Icarus that a pale horse had come into the sacred garden uninvited and had tricked the child god by offering him the enchanted chains that now held Blake in place, for a chance to drink from The Lake of Dreams. The horse drank from the lake and consumed it down to its last drop, then, leaving the child god in chains, moved on, going throughout the garden, encountering other Gods, tricking and hurting them and their followers, and consuming everything in its path. Blake the Great offers Icarus a wager, if he could find the horse and keep it, retrieve the key to the chains and free the boy god, then Blake would let Icarus go out into the lake and fish out his wildest dream.

In addition to the album as the soundtrack to the experience, Davis has created an art exhibit and digital NFT work adorning the digital space. Lake of Dreams the album will be accompanied by the short musical film, Light and Water, a surrealist fantasy in which a man goes to sleep, and in his dream drinks from a lake. This consumption initiates three hallucinations that encompass a journey through fear, death, and eventually a path to his dreams.

Lake Of Dreams will be released on June 19th 2021.
