Dreams in Space and Time by DeScianni
Email: DeScianni@descianni.com
DeScianni Studios Music, Label, Artist Channel, and streaming are built upon completely original songs that fit into multiple music genres and categories. The songs aren't random singles—they explore related themes of life, grief, hope, faith, time, loss, and perseverance that gives listeners a reason to stay after discovering one track. All songs are authored to stand alone on each instrumental in itself, and thus behind each message in the vocals lies great music, with deep lyrics that stays with the listener.
The "Dreams in Space and Time" Releases I-IX are all original work authored by brothers Joe and Peter DeShan. Early ventures of bands and years of playing from a much larger collection of a lost tapes story were inspirations for many of the Releases that Joe DeShan wrote and played, along with some classical symphonies between 1972 to present. The focus of the current work since 2015 has been extensive with Peter and Joe with all new original songs and versions amidst bad times of family loss and Covid that slowed much.
DeScianni's Label has published the "Dreams in Space and Time Collection" (Releases I-IX) with over 120 songs and videos, and instrumentals including many themes of 70's Psychedelic Rock, Light Rock Pop, Country, Inspirational, Folk, Contemporary, and deep Ballads. The body of arrangements have Lead Guitar-Piano-Keyboard, Violin, Bass, Drums, mandolin, harp, and more, and some have dueling instrumental parts or dueling male-female vocalists. The DeScianni Label presents itself in somewhat of a time warp where much of the music has an unreleased 1970s Rock inspirational vibe, the 70's decade and beyond being simply a time bracket of more than 10 years. This 10-20 year period did have a sound and reality of its own in a time of peace and love, and musical expression, with distinctive sounds like few other generations.
Most or all of the songs are published to distributors which distribute to all the known streaming sites. A full collection is on the DeScianni artist channel.

The catalog of Dreams in Space and Time Collection is a whirlwind of several 1000s of hours of lyrics, arrangements, studio sessions, artists, vocalists, retakes, and rejections, that drives the molding of the songs once conceived. The list of credits is getting larger, please see below. The Anthology section has many other recordings of songs and versions or links being updated.
DeScianni is the original real last name of our Italian family, it was changed upon entry in 1901 Ellis Island from DeScianni to DeShan by our paternal grandfather. DeScianni is two brothers Joe, (who often goes by Joe-Paul), and Peter. Joe and Peter DeShan spent a lot of time together, being so close in age, sharing bunkbeds and often playing football and other sports together, and going to the same Catholic and public schools with the same friends. We survived very rough times and insane poverty and abuse as kids in a rough time for America as well. Joe had many artistic expressions in singing, painting, psychedelic art, and music, Peter wrote poetry, and worked in Science and IT Technology. Peter showed Joe his first 3 guitar chords, and Joe never put the guitar down again, playing in High School Bands and many other bands in and around Atlanta, GA. We have Irwin Brody to thank for that, since he taught Peter his first 3 guitar chords. Many choices were made for us based on necessity, so it is another unfortunate story then, but now in a life past no Do-overs, Peter and Joe got together in music again and this is what you are hearing.
"Dreams in Space and Time" work since 2014 by DeScianni has been ambitious for Peter and Joe with serious studio productions using many musicians, different instruments and vocalists, and dozens of tracks to first be a good musical score and then be a good overall song. But as in the lyrics of the song "Won't You Come Back" on this site, there just never is enough time. Covid and more tore through our world and put many things on hold, and in that time our sister, mother and father all died which was traumatic for all. This also was a bad time in history and life and many more events that always seemed to get in the way of finishing what we started. Some songs are perfect as is, some masterpieces, and some others are a work in progress, so there are some different versions of some songs with arrangements.
DeScianni has not been too active in song contests as one avenue of promotion but won Sep, 2022 runner up in the John Lennon Song contest Rock category for one Rock song entered (Luck on Monday). DeScianni was also a semifinalist for Lay Me Down in the ISC largest International Song Contest for 2022 which is a song about the terrible Opiate and Fentanyl crises.
Musical influences are all the Rock and Contemporary songs of that era, and concerts & festivals of the late 1960s, 1970s, 80s, 90s. Partial listing are: Moody-Blues, MMM, Beatles, Carpenters, Neil Young, Black Sabbath, ELO, Motown, Elvis, Dylan, Clapton, ELP, CCR, GF, Bread, Pink Floyd, Ten Years After, Alice Cooper, Allman Brothers, Lennon, McCartney Wings, Harrison, Ringo solos, Elton John, Christian music, were all huge inspirations. Many more with Folk-Easy Listening (now often called Contemporary), POP, some light Country styles and some other out in space stuff.
It takes a community and enormous funding to create great music and video, at many levels today. If someone has a vision, they have to do what it takes to move that vision into reality. This is often an iterative process and much is ventured in time, funding, and persistence to get the right instruments, vocalists, and genre of sound. Very rarely is the very first version the final best version and sometimes the 2nd version is the best out of several explorations. Advanced studio tools are used in production. Track recordings and masters were done at StudioPros Music Studios in Los Angeles, CA, DeScianni Studios in Ga and other private studios in UK and Europe. Contributors are many with session players, vocalists, guitarists, and artists, the key ones from StudioPros being Craig Durrance for many top to bottom talents, Danny on Guitars, Amir on keyboards, Uri on Bass, Reggie on Drums, Yosi on Mixing and several other musicians. Vocals are Joe, Jack, Noah, Filip, Chloe, Alice, and Lena and other vocalists are Stephen, Levi and others.

This 70s era of music has always been one of the most inspirational and many of these songs were created and or inspired at that time when we were young and impressionable from the 70s to 2000s. The young people in the late 60s and 70s had many social issues of the Vietnam war, assassinations, and so much more on their shoulders, but clung together at many music festivals. It was a time of peace and love on the street where you would get a hug from a stranger if he/she was in the same free social groups.
Every generation blames the one before. There was a generational disagreement with so much horror and distrust in the government just as today, and there were so many deaths in our groups of young people you knew both from the war, motorcycle and car accidents, drug overdoses and more. If the notion that the 60s might be the beginning of the Youth Culture, the 70s slammed it home, and among the older generation then, it was a simple case of the Youth Culture refusing to grow up and take responsibility. In reality they just wanted to have some fun growing up, so not many things have changed. History often repeats itself but now technology has changed so many aspects of human interaction and feelings.
