Tabs, definitely no, at least we won't be working on any tabs or so as it takes one hell of a time. MIDI files, perhaps in the future. |
I have added some/all members of Dreamtone at Facebook, Hi5 (etc) but I couldn't get a reply, why?
Profiles and usages of these sites are created for the band members' private lives and they don't accept requests or messages from people who are unknown to them. If you would like to reach Dreamtone members through the net, please either use their Myspace address' noted on this website's "Links, Band" section or please send an e-mail to the general contact address. Unless it is far too absurd, Dreamtone members reply to the e-mails, even if it takes some time. |

Will there be any additional language supports to the site, near to English and Turkish?
Not unless we can find someone to translate and update those versions. |
Why does Dreamtone go on live rarely / Why Dreamtone didn’t show up in my hometown?
This depends on promoters. If you are willing to see Dreamtone alive in your city/country/town etc, please contact with local promoters, organizers and so. We would also be very happy to visit and play around the world, like any other musician, but touring needs both financial and logistic support which are hard to come by all the time. You can contact with the band’s management. (contact information can be found at the contact page) regarding live issues. |
I am a promoter/journalist/reporter/fan and I wanted to reach to Dreamtone via e-mail but no one replied to me, why?
Dreamtone e-mail addresses always checked by either the band members or by manager(s). If your e-mail submissions didn’t have a reply, either the mail has never been received by the band or the e-mail probably didn’t fit to band’s policy. What is that policy?
E-mails that do not contain any name, subject, information, proper introduction and feedback about organizations, magazines, radio shows etc are being ignored due to their misguiding natures. In the past, we had problems with these kinda messages and, sadly, we are no longer answering these kind of inquiries.Please note that this is not because we think we are some snobbish rock’n’roll stars but to prevent any unwanted problems with media and organizations.If you are a fan and didn’t receive an answer to your e-mails, please re-send it. We may miss some of the e-mails due to high spam rate (50-200/day) and/or your e-mail may simply got lost. |
How did you manage to get in touch with Gary Wehrkamp of Shadow Gallery for Sojourn and other names in Dreamtone & Iris Mavraki's Neverland?
Communication is the key. |
I have some stuff about Dreamtone (reviews, photos, artworks, other stuff), can I send it to you?
Of course you can. We would be happy to receive any effort contributed to us. We may share it with others through our website as well. |
Will there be any European / US tour?
