Muff's Modules & More

I have found that the collaborations between
alva noto and Ryuichi Sakamoto (Insen & Vrioon)
to be absolutely phenomenal,
and great to sleep with, even at a high volume.
I usually can only sleep with music just barely above the level of
audibility, but this is different.
the music is very subtle and nonintrusive,
but very captivating at the same time.
weaving you through statikky perturbances and stuttering piano samples
and sinewave kiks to lull you into lullaby land.....
um.......... yeah..

older experiemental music for my radio show

z'ev also used to be in a band with rex probe. there's a good "thelema now" podcast interview with him somewhere...

i never listen to music for sleeping, i find it distracting and that it actually stops me from sleeping.

i've heard people say robert rich's "somnium" is good for that purpose. i just like to listen to it normally. wink

Preferably, rain / thunderstorms. The real type.
Or alternatively, complete silence.

Haven't done this for a long time, but used to go to sleep with music every night. Probably the two albums I put on the most were Keith Jarrett's Spheres and Structures from Silence by Steve Roach.
