Rafiq Bhatia featuring Chris Pattishall - Each Dream, A Melting Door (2025) [Hi-Res]

Avant-garde American musician, composer, guitarist and producer Rafiq Bhatia has announced a new EP created in collaboration with pianist Chris Pattishall. Entitled ‘Each Dream, A Melting Door’, Bhatia and Pattishall improvise across the EP’s five tracks to conjure environments of sound that evolve at nature’s pace, but - crucially - also carry its unpredictable stakes. Unfurling seamlessly like a short film, the result is sculptural, sleepwalking music that rewards patience and deep listening, illuminating fleeting pathways towards the journey inward.

‘Each Dream, A Melting Door’ is Bhatia’s first solo release since co-scoring 2023’s Academy Award-winning Best Picture ‘Everything Everywhere All At Once’ with his bandmates in Son Lux, where they earned Oscar and BAFTA nominations for their head-spinning score.
