ONEIRA – Album will be released August 19th!

Oneira (2022)

Coming soon: Oneira by Clocks in Motion

Oneira (2022) will be released on August 19, 2022 by Aerocade Music featuring all of the percussion quartet music I composed for Clocks in Motion percussion over the last four years as their resident Clock Shop composer.

Oneira is a variation of the word “oneiric” meaning dreams or dreaming.

From the label, Aerocade Music:

“Our 2022 release is Oneira by Clocks in Motion. We know you’ll love this album of percussion quartets written by Jennifer Bellor.

We think Oneira sounds like it could be a collaboration between Dave Brubeck, Enya, and Steve Reich. If they were in an alternate universe… inside a video game… on a different planet? 🤷🏻‍♀️ ???

What it really says is that Jennifer Bellor’s music is too big for one square genre! We’d love to hear your thoughts on the album when it comes out!!”
