My name is Nim Zimmer.
On June 27th, 2024 I released The Dotted Line.
9 songs designed for dedicated listening.

The Dotted Line is regarding the phenomenon of human consciousness…

Taking a step back from yourself, and thinking for a moment:

Isn’t it extraordinary, strange and magical that our sense of self / consciousness / identity / memory comes out of this chaotic universe in the meaningful and beautiful way that it does?

"The Dotted Line" could be a stand-in for "time"; so then we are all “dots” passing by on this dotted line. Some questions at the heart of the whole album and present in the first track are "how is the line evolving?" and "how well can one dot really know another?" How well then can a dot know itself?

I encourage you to listen to the whole thing in one setting, if you can.

With an open mind. Or not.

Then carry on.
Enjoy, The Dotted Line.
