Dreamsploitation is the moniker for Chuck Blazevic – a 24 year old musician from Halifax, Nova Scotia. With a monome 256 in hand, Blazevic has been performing live since January 2008.

Dreamsploitation’s style is characterized by his affinity for orchestral instrumentation, detailed overlapping arrangements, love of 1960′s pop & film music, and his melancholic yet hopeful vibe – which, no doubt, stems from the latter.

The debut album, ‘The Soft Focus Sound of Today’, is created from dozens of manipulated micro-samples from old recordings, in addition to audio sources from Blazevic’s own instrumental performances. TSFSOT appeared on the ‘Top 50 Albums of 2008′ list at Textura.org.

January 2009 marked the launch of a digital singles series, offering one digital download for every month in 2009. The majority of the source material for these new works consist of digitally manipulated guitar and piano, performed and recorded by Blazevic.

“Listening to [Dreamsploitation] is like turning a corner from a street lined with protesters complaining about the destruction of beauty to a brilliant little cul de sac of people consciously creating beautiful, light filled breezy works that reposition a person towards the world as a wonderful place.”

“Dreamsploitation may be as obscure a name as the plundered materials constituting [the] Soft Focus Sound of Today but, if there’s any justice in the world, that won’t last long.”
