From Sleep

An hour-long distillation of an eight-hour lullaby. Slow-motion piano and weightless strings designed to mirror the architecture of the sleeping mind.

September 4, 2015 · Deutsche Grammophon

A state of suspended animation that feels both protective and infinitely vast.

Moments Worth Listening For
The wordless soprano melody in Path 5 rising like a distant memory over a steady, pulsing bass note.
The way the piano notes in Dream 3 seem to hang in the air for seconds, decaying into a lush bed of reverb.
The transition into Space 21 where the texture becomes grainier, mimicking the tactile scent of rain on dry earth.
