Six Organs of Admittance - Sleep Tones (2020) [Official Digital Download 24/48]

"This project began from my own insomnia. Though I have mostly beaten my bouts of insomnia, in 2019 I began to have a new kind where I would wake up at 4am and not be able to go back to sleep. Sometimes I would just get up and start my day, but sometimes I had hardly had any sleep after going to sleep late and desperately wanted to drift off again. I went to youtube to look up music to fall asleep too and become disappointed with the music that was available. Most of it had abrupt chord changes or extraneous playing, as If the musician couldn’t help but add their own ego. What I needed was something more of a drone, with cyclical playing that didn’t really go anywhere. I needed music that didn’t develop at all, because then the mind followed the development. In this way I think music to fall asleep to veers away from ambient music. For music to fall asleep to to be a success, it really must “go nowhere.” I started to make my own pieces to fall asleep to. I don’t know if this will be the same for everyone, but perhaps it might help. I consider these to be more “pragmatic tone pieces” than music, to tell you the truth."
