&lt;div&gt;[[File:Ddn99.jpg|200px|thumb|right|Davey Dreamnation, photographed in 1999, just three years before his spectacular rise to fame (source unknown).]]&#039;&#039;&#039;Davey Dreamnation&#039;&#039;&#039; (1972–?) was an [[Australalian]] musician, vocalist, pirate and record-label owner who now lives &#039;in the third person&#039;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Dreamnation is perhaps best known for his musical output between 2002 and 2004, which included a series of digital LPs and EPs released through his own [[Tribesco]]-based label, [[DNRC Records]], and which redefined several musical genres. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
His incendiary debut album, &#039;&#039;[[Islands In the Stream of Consciousness]]&#039;&#039;, &#039;issued&#039; independently online in 2002, allegedly reached number 1 on the now-defunct MP3.com.au charts, despite being deleted shortly after its release.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Davey Dreamnation, &#039;Holy mother of Davey - it&#039;s number 1 time!&#039;, 12 October 2002, [https://daveydreamnation.com/davey-dreamnation/holy-mother-of-davey-its-number-1-time/], accessed 9 April 2019.&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; In fact, DNRC Records released and then deleted over 100 records over its short but colourful lifespan. This database of remarkable records has never been issued publicly.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Dreamnation went under several aliases, including [[d/dn]], [[Little Lord Damnation]], [[Bek-ho]], [[Davves]] and [[David Prater]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Early life ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Of unknown parentage, Davey Dreamnation insisted throughout his life that he had been conceived during the playing of a Genesis LP in 1971 and then born on 1 April 1972. According to his own early writings, he was then raised on a sheep station somewhere in the Goulburn River Valley. This property later became the first iteration of the [[Camp Davey]] headquarters and nerve centre. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Described by persons who wish to remain nameless as &#039;a legend in his own signature drawstring jarmies&#039;, &#039;a colossus of lo-fidelity&#039;, &#039;a harbinger of [[jitches]] and drum fills&#039; and ‘the Skylab of his generation’, little else is known about Dreamnation&#039;s upbringing, although he was rumoured to have been quite fluent in [[Desperanto]], and to enjoy both ice hockey and Joy Division.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Education ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In 1994, Dreamnation graduated from the [[de Burgh Institute]], receiving a Bachelor of Music with Honours in Norman-era balladry. In 2004 he graduated from the [[University of Australalia]], receiving a Master of Australalian Bush Studies. At the time of his disappearance he was in the final stages of his PhD candidature at [[Renaissance University]], Melbourne. His unfinished exegesis was an exploration of the lyrics of [[Christy Burr]], focussing on the early albums right up to (and including) &#039;&#039;Into the Fright&#039;&#039;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Musical career ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Davey Dreamnation was a founding member of [[The Spirit Levels]], a band whose half-life was even shorter than its name. Upon the band&#039;s split in early 2002, Dreamnation embarked on a relatively undocumented solo career, releasing two LPs, a string of EPs and countless picture discs. His debut LP, &#039;&#039;[[Islands In the Stream of Consciousness]]&#039;&#039;, was once described as &#039;brimming with melody, technological sophistication, 120bpm drum beats, amazingly uplifting guitar solos and lyrics to kill for&#039;. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A resurrection of Dreamnation&#039;s fortunes failed to coincide with the release of &#039;&#039;[[Recognition of Prior Learning]]&#039;&#039;, his incendiary though widely ignored sophomore album, due probably to his decision not to release every track as a single in its own right, a tactic which had served him well when he released &#039;&#039;Islands In the Stream of Consciousness&#039;&#039;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A full discography of Dreamnation&#039;s musical output is currently under construction. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Literary works ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Dreamnation apparently released a number of commentaries and lyrics via a range of Australalian and international organs including &#039;&#039;The Page&#039;&#039;, &#039;&#039;Speech Factory&#039;&#039;, &#039;&#039;Coat&#039;&#039;, &#039;&#039;Bush Telegraph&#039;&#039;, &#039;&#039;Islet&#039;&#039;, &#039;&#039;Meandjohn&#039;&#039;, &#039;&#039;tilt&#039;&#039; (USA), &#039;&#039;Couch&#039;&#039;, &#039;&#039;MARMITE&#039;&#039; (NZ), &#039;&#039;tallpoppies&#039;&#039;, &#039;&#039;Bowing Out Gracefully&#039;&#039;, &#039;&#039;pole position&#039;&#039; (UK), &#039;&#039;Southerland&#039;&#039; and &#039;&#039;various journals&#039;&#039;. In addition his political views and rants are believed to have appeared in &#039;&#039;The Weekend Hibernation&#039;&#039;, &#039;&#039;Southern Tuna&#039;&#039;, &#039;&#039;Meritocratin&#039;&#039;, &#039;&#039;The Big Fish&#039;&#039;, &#039;&#039;Herpes&#039;&#039;, &#039;&#039;New England Ravers&#039;&#039;, &#039;&#039;Wakers Seance&#039;&#039;, &#039;&#039;Crosstown&#039;&#039; and &#039;&#039;Fabulous Tasmanians&#039;&#039;, although the back issues of these publications contain no trace of his name.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Collaborators ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Dreamnation is known to have collaborated with a number of musicians during his career, including the amazingly hirsute [[Clint Bo Dean]], a [[seething]] Kiwi Sting impersonator known as [[Stung]], his one-time manager [[Pixel Mouse]] and [[Scaramouche]], a ham-eating llama. In addition, he is rumoured to have launched the careers of a number of musical acts including [[Christy Burr]], [[Mead]], [[Eyna]] and others.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Online presences ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Originally presenting himself as a pixel-sized superstar via a private Intranet, Dreamnation also utilized a variety of Internet-based platforms to distribute his work. By the time of his disappearance, he was the sole operator of a fully-automated and interconnected international web portal and hyperstation, known as [[D/DN]], through which he sought to document his own troubled psyche. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Controversy ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In 2004 the domain name pointing to the [[D/DN]] international web portal was purchased by an unknown cyberporn squatter, rendering its contents unsuitable for general audiences. Dreamnation quietly repurchased the domain in 2007.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Disappearance ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After suffering the indignity of an on-stage meltdown during the Goulburn River Valley Music Festival in 2010, an act which led to his retirement from the music industry (not to mention the deletion of his ‘barnestorming’ swansong EP, &#039;&#039;[[The Silence of Untold Sound]]&#039;&#039;, among others), Davey Dreamnation regrouped, underwent therapy and changed his name to [[Davves]]. Upon the UN-mandated deletion of his first DNRC Records single, Davves promptly announced both his total retirement from public life and his intention to reside, from that point on, in the third person. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Legacy ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In 2018 music critic and author [[Les Tombeaux]] announced that he was embarking on a massive biography of Dreamnation and his ouevre, with the prospective title of [[The Rise and Fall of Davey Dreamnation]]. At the time of writing, this project remains in stasis.&lt;br /&gt;

The album is probably best known for its final track, &#039;Middle Aegis I-IV&#039;. Teaming up with [[The Voodoo Chiles]], a group of Chilean musicians with whom he once competed in the Bourke Street Mall, Mead reportedly &#039;pulled out all the stops on this jaw-dropper of a track, effortlessly melding mischievous pan pipes, fickle Drkstixb, simpering word play and tetanus-tinged harpsichord to produce an unspeakably dervish-laden ring of fire that was initially deemed unreleasable due to its sheer majesty and technical complexity&#039;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
While bootleg copies of the album may still be purchased in the usual places, the original recording was deleted mere moments after it was &#039;released&#039;, in accordance with [[UN General Assembly Resolution DDN01]] relating to DNRC Records and its public activities.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;[[File:Mead.jpg|200px|thumb|right|The last known image of Mead, taken shortly before his death (source unknown).]]&#039;&#039;&#039;Mead&#039;&#039;&#039; (1972–2018) was a musician and performer whose medieval sound worlds drew inspiration from a variety of traditional musical genres. He is best known for his second album, &#039;&#039;[[The Mists of Thyme]]&#039;&#039;, in which his trademark sound, produced using the [[Drkstixb]], an impossibly complicated and unpronounceable instrument that Mead designed and built himself, shines through. Mead has been described as &#039;a medieval superstar&#039;. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Early career ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Mead first came to the attention of the public in the late 1990s as a busker performing in Melbourne&#039;s Bourke Street Mall, where he quickly established a fearsome reputation as a raconteur and showman. Within months of his &#039;arrival&#039;, his Middle Ages-infused demo tape came to the attention of [[Davey Dreamnation]], who had apparently been looking for new acts to feature on his [[DNRC Records]] label. Seconds after hearing the tape, Dreamnation offered Mead a four-album deal. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Releases ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The first Mead album to appear on DNRC Records was 2003&#039;s &#039;&#039;[[Yea, Finery]]&#039;&#039;, which featured six Drkstixb-heavy cuts, as well as a bonus disc containing the seven instrumental tracks originally released on Mead&#039;s infamous demo cassette. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
2004&#039;s &#039;&#039;[[The Mists of Thyme]]&#039;&#039; cemented Mead&#039;s place in the liturgical pantheon, straddling both the Middle- and Late-Middle Ages and introducing a new generation of listeners to the Drkstixb&#039;s unpronounceable delights.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The eccentric &#039;&#039;[[Onza Rocku]]&#039;&#039; had been scheduled for release in 2005 but, due to Mead&#039;s punishing tour schedule, was held back until the 2006 Commonwealth Games, to ensure maximum indifference.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Just seconds after the deletion of &#039;&#039;Onza Rocku&#039;&#039;, finally starting to get the hang of record industry negotiations, Mead and his cohort (including his Chilean backing band, [[The Voodoo Chiles]]) announced in an emergency press statement their intention to record a fourth album, &#039;&#039;[[Straight to Drkstixb]]&#039;&#039; and, in doing so, technically meet all of the contractual obligations outlined in Dreamnation&#039;s original four-album deal. It is now believed that a last-minute peace treaty was actually struck between Mead and Dreamnation, with members of [[The Guide Ponies]] acting as arbitrators, calling off the potentially explosive recording process.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Dropping in just on the leisurely side of six-hundred earth-shattering minutes, &#039;&#039;[[Teh Plague]]&#039;&#039;, while not as unlistenable as the never-released &#039;&#039;Straight to Drkstixb&#039;&#039;, was finally released in 2019, just six months after Mead&#039;s untimely death.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Death == &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Having waited almost 20 years to see his magnum opus, &#039;&#039;Teh Plague&#039;&#039; released (and then deleted), Mead died on 1 April 2018, reportedly from gunshot wounds. His body, as well as his beloved Drkstixb, were cryogenically frozen and stored at Camp Davey, in the hope that Resolution DDN01 will someday be revoked.&lt;/div&gt;</summary>

&lt;br /&gt;
He began his entertainment career as a stunt double in such feature films as &#039;&#039;[[Around the World In Eighty Llamas]]&#039;&#039;; &#039;&#039;[[Stop, Look And Listen: a Moving Tale of Three Homeless Llamas]]&#039;&#039;; and, of course, &#039;&#039;[[Clint Bo Dean In Wigs and Pictures]]&#039;&#039;, before finally landing a major role in &#039;&#039;[[Scaramouche: My Story]]&#039;&#039;, after which he never looked even slightly ruffled.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Born under the sign of the three-toed sloth, Scaramouche has more recently turned his hoof to singing, scoring a hit with his first [[DNRC Records]] release, &#039;[[Scaramouche&#039;s Theme]]&#039;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Forever meddling in other peoples&#039; affairs, he can sometimes be seen emerging from his custom-built cage inside the [[Camp Davey]] compound in order to scoff meringues and wizz fizz.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He is currently planning to revive his own personal blog, written entirely in [[Desperanto]].&lt;/div&gt;</summary>

&lt;div&gt;[[File:stung.jpg|200px|thumb|right|The only publicly available image of Stung (source unknown).]]&#039;&#039;&#039;Stung&#039;&#039;&#039; (1972–) is a talented flautist and Sting impersonator. Hailing originally from Dunedin on the South Island of New Zealand he now manages the [[Camp Davey]] compound.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He released two albums on Davey Dreamnation&#039;s record label, [[DNRC Records]], the first of which was entitled &#039;&#039;[[Dream of the Blue Pipe Cleaners]]&#039;&#039;. The follow-up, &#039;&#039;[[Desert Boot Nose]]&#039;&#039;, was released in 2011 to overwhelming critical disdain. A third album, &#039;&#039;[[Nothing Like the Stung]]&#039;&#039;, was never released. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Rumours of Stung&#039;s recent demise have been slightly exaggerated, although he has been involved in at least one fracas involving his seeing-eye pony which has left him permanently seething.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Stung divides his time between composing soaring and uplifting car commercial themes and vocal coaching. His influence on Davey Dreamnation&#039;s singing career has been noticeable and can be heard on Dreamnation&#039;s unreleased collection of rare instrumentals. Stung also acts as a vocal coach and mentor for [[Clint Bo Dean]], one of DNRC Records&#039;s most troubled stars. His favourite colour is yellow and he was born in the year of the Bee.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
According to his Geocities website, Stung is &#039;not available for interviews&#039;.&lt;/div&gt;</summary>

&lt;br /&gt;
Perhaps unsurprisingly, Clint was born under the influence of helium in the Bahamas in 2004. Despite his penchant for interpretative dance, Clint has so far failed in his stated career aim of joining the Bolshoi Ballet. He spends most of his time penning ridiculously grandiose orchestral arrangements for two flugel horns and one triangle.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
His debut DNRC single, &#039;[[Private Poet]]&#039;, was judged a form of torture by the International Criminal Court and subsequently banned from use in Australalian jails. His breakthrough album, &#039;&#039;[[Never Go Ashtray]]&#039;&#039;, violated several international whaling protocols.&lt;/div&gt;</summary>

In its initial form, Camp Davey covered an astonishing 250 acres, and featured a massive bar, several accommodation areas, and the infamous [[Lemonade Waterfall]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Camp Davey has, at various points in the lunar cycle, played host to an assortment of minor luminaries, including [[Christie Burr]], [[Mead]] and [[Scaramouche]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
At present the [[Dreamnation Appropriate Tourism Commission]] is evaluating various merchandising, eco-tourism and hostel options for the eventual renovation of the Camp Davey compound. Until the Commission hands down its report (expected in 2053), Camp Davey will be closed to visitors.&lt;/div&gt;</summary>

&lt;br /&gt;
On 1 October 2002 Dreamnation issued a press release claiming that &#039;&#039;Islands In the Stream of Consciousness&#039;&#039; had reached the coveted number 1 position on the MP3.com.au lo-fi charts, although Internet archives indicate that it only reached number 3.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;MP3.com.au, &#039;Davey Dreamnation: Islands In the Stream of Consciousness&#039;, Wayback Machine, 24 August 2002, [https://web.archive.org/web/20021025055623/http://www.mp3.com.au:80/album.asp?id=4198]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

The recording process for &#039;&#039;Islands In the Stream of Consciousness&#039;&#039; was fragmented, with different studios and recording equipment used for each track. The full album was mixed at the [[Camp Davey]] compound before its release.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;DNRC Records&#039;&#039;&#039; was a [[Tribesco]]-based recording label founded, administered and later abandoned by [[Davey Dreamnation]]. The acronym DNRC stands for Davey&#039;s New Record Company, meaning that the full official title of the label is actually Davey&#039;s New Record Company Records. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Genesis ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Davey Dreamnation&#039;s debut album &#039;&#039;[[Islands In the Stream of Consciousness]]&#039;&#039; was released online in 2002. Although the album&#039;s arrival met with little fanfare at the time, Dreamnation&#039;s subsequent musical efforts were so [[seething]] that the United Nations was forced to enter into treaty negotiations with him. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The end of the negotiations coincided with the proclamation of [[UN General Assembly Resolution DDN01]], which stipulated that Dreamnation was free to release his own music, on the condition that he did so under the DNRC Records moniker, and that he instantly deleted each catalogue number on the moment of its release. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Releases ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A total of over 100 DNRC Records releases/deletions have now been identified, from artists including Dreamnation himself, his former band [[The Spirit Levels]], [[Mead]], [[Eyna]], [[Christy Burr]], [[Stung]], [[Clint Bo Dean]], [[Scaramouche]] and many others.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Due to administrative errors many of Davey Dreamnation&#039;s singles were never assigned a catalogue number. The following chronological list should be considered as being definitive. &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;[[File:Ddn99.jpg|200px|thumb|right|Davey Dreamnation, photographed in 1999, just three years before his spectacular rise to fame (source unknown).]]&#039;&#039;&#039;Davey Dreamnation&#039;&#039;&#039; (1972–?) was an [[Australalian]] musician, vocalist, pirate and record-label owner who now lives &#039;in the third person&#039;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Dreamnation is perhaps best known for his musical output between 2002 and 2004, which included a series of digital LPs and EPs released through his own [[Tribesco]]-based label, [[DNRC Records]], and which redefined several musical genres. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
His incendiary debut album, &#039;&#039;[[Islands In the Stream of Consciousness]]&#039;&#039;, &#039;issued&#039; independently online in 2002, allegedly reached number 1 on the now-defunct MP3.com.au charts, despite being deleted shortly after its release.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Davey Dreamnation, &#039;Holy mother of Davey - it&#039;s number 1 time!&#039;, 12 October 2002, [https://daveydreamnation.com/davey-dreamnation/holy-mother-of-davey-its-number-1-time/], accessed 9 April 2019.&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; In fact, DNRC Records released and then deleted over 100 records over its short but colourful lifespan. This database of remarkable records has never been issued publicly.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Dreamnation went under several aliases, including [[d/dn]], [[Little Lord Damnation]], [[Bek-ho]], [[Davves]] and [[David Prater]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Early life ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Of unknown parentage, Davey Dreamnation insisted throughout his life that he had been conceived during the playing of a Genesis LP in 1971 and then born on 1 April 1972. According to his own early writings, he was then raised on a sheep station somewhere in the Goulburn River Valley. This property later became the first iteration of the [[Camp Davey]] headquarters and nerve centre. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Described by persons who wish to remain nameless as &#039;a legend in his own signature drawstring jarmies&#039;, &#039;a colossus of lo-fidelity&#039;, &#039;a harbinger of [[jitches]] and drum fills&#039; and ‘the Skylab of his generation’, little else is known about Dreamnation&#039;s upbringing, although he was rumoured to have been quite fluent in [[Desperanto]], and to enjoy both ice hockey and Joy Division.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Education ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In 1994, Dreamnation graduated from the [[de Burgh Institute]], receiving a Bachelor of Music with Honours in Norman-era balladry. In 2004 he graduated from the [[University of Australalia]], receiving a Master of Australalian Bush Studies. At the time of his disappearance he was in the final stages of his PhD candidature at [[Renaissance University]], Melbourne. His unfinished exegesis was an exploration of the lyrics of [[Christy Burr]], focussing on the early albums right up to (and including) &#039;&#039;Into the Fright&#039;&#039;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Musical career ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Davey Dreamnation was a founding member of [[The Spirit Levels]], a band whose half-life was even shorter than its name. Upon the band&#039;s split in early 2002, Dreamnation embarked on a relatively undocumented solo career, releasing two LPs, a string of EPs and countless picture discs. His debut LP, &#039;&#039;[[Islands In the Stream of Consciousness]]&#039;&#039;, was once described as &#039;brimming with melody, technological sophistication, 120bpm drum beats, amazingly uplifting guitar solos and lyrics to kill for&#039;. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A resurrection of Dreamnation&#039;s fortunes failed to coincide with the release of &#039;&#039;[[Recognition of Prior Learning]]&#039;&#039;, his incendiary though widely ignored sophomore album, due probably to his decision not to release every track as a single in its own right, a tactic which had served him well when he released &#039;&#039;Islands In the Stream of Consciousness&#039;&#039;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A full discography of Dreamnation&#039;s musical output is currently under construction. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Literary works ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Dreamnation apparently released a number of commentaries and lyrics via a range of Australalian and international organs including &#039;&#039;The Page&#039;&#039;, &#039;&#039;Speech Factory&#039;&#039;, &#039;&#039;Coat&#039;&#039;, &#039;&#039;Bush Telegraph&#039;&#039;, &#039;&#039;Islet&#039;&#039;, &#039;&#039;Meandjohn&#039;&#039;, &#039;&#039;tilt&#039;&#039; (USA), &#039;&#039;Couch&#039;&#039;, &#039;&#039;MARMITE&#039;&#039; (NZ), &#039;&#039;tallpoppies&#039;&#039;, &#039;&#039;Bowing Out Gracefully&#039;&#039;, &#039;&#039;pole position&#039;&#039; (UK), &#039;&#039;Southerland&#039;&#039; and &#039;&#039;various journals&#039;&#039;. In addition his political views and rants are believed to have appeared in &#039;&#039;The Weekend Hibernation&#039;&#039;, &#039;&#039;Southern Tuna&#039;&#039;, &#039;&#039;Meritocratin&#039;&#039;, &#039;&#039;The Big Fish&#039;&#039;, &#039;&#039;Herpes&#039;&#039;, &#039;&#039;New England Ravers&#039;&#039;, &#039;&#039;Wakers Seance&#039;&#039;, &#039;&#039;Crosstown&#039;&#039; and &#039;&#039;Fabulous Tasmanians&#039;&#039;, although the back issues of these publications contain no trace of his name.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Collaborators ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Dreamnation is known to have collaborated with a number of musicians during his career, including the amazingly hirsute [[Clint Bo Dean]], a [[seething]] Kiwi Sting impersonator known as [[Stung]], his one-time manager [[Pixel Mouse]] and [[Scaramouche]], a ham-eating llama. In addition, he is rumoured to have launched the careers of a number of musical acts including [[Christy Burr]], [[Mead]], [[Eyna]] and others.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Online presences ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Originally presenting himself as a pixel-sized superstar via a private Intranet, Dreamnation also utilized a variety of Internet-based platforms to distribute his work. By the time of his disappearance, he was the sole operator of a fully-automated and interconnected international web portal and hyperstation, known as [[D/DN]], through which he sought to document his own troubled psyche. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Controversy ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In 2004 the domain name pointing to the [[D/DN]] international web portal was purchased by an unknown cyberporn squatter, rendering its contents unsuitable for general audiences. Dreamnation quietly repurchased the domain in 2007.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Disappearance ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After suffering the indignity of an on-stage meltdown during the Goulburn River Valley Music Festival in 2010, an act which led to his retirement from the music industry (not to mention the deletion of his ‘barnestorming’ swansong EP, &#039;&#039;[[The Silence of Untold Sound]]&#039;&#039;, among others), Davey Dreamnation regrouped, underwent therapy and changed his name to [[Davves]]. Upon the UN-mandated deletion of his first DNRC Records single, Davves promptly announced both his total retirement from public life and his intention to reside, from that point on, in the third person. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Legacy ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In 2018 music critic and author [[Les Tombeaux]] announced that he was embarking on a massive biography of Dreamnation and his ouevre, with the prospective title of [[The Rise and Fall of Davey Dreamnation]]. At the time of writing, this project remains in stasis.&lt;br /&gt;
