Sleep Music Vol. 1

Three contiguous movements with marimba, guitar, bowed vibraphone, hammer dulcimer and samples from outer space.


It is my hope that no one will ever hear this album in it’s entirety…

One hour of continuous music designed to put the listener to sleep…

Dense dreamy textures like the musical equivalent of white noise, inhabited by ambiguous tonalities that pull gently against each other, separating from harmonic terra firma, like sonic codeine, following a structural arc of dissolution rather than building. Recorded in the depths of winter, only late at night and only by candle light (which are its ideal listening conditions)…
