I’ve been missing in action for awhile and now you’ll see why…
It’s with great pleasure that I unveil to you:
What Dream Is Worth This? (An ambient sleep soundtrack.)
60 dreams, 60 pieces of ambient music, 60 minutes long…
Each is individually numbered and conveniently bundled with a small pillow (featuring handmade, embroidered pillowcases by the very talented Joan Hutcheson) , a sleeping mask and a handwritten entry from my dream diary.
The pieces are each $60 and will be on display at Mt. Comfort [a space for champions] Gallery in Indianapolis, IN this Friday, October 2nd. I’ll be on hand in pajamas doing ambient music performances all night. Attendees are encouraged to bring sleeping bags and wear their jammies too. If you’re unable to attend, but are interested in obtaining one of these fine pieces, please feel free to contact me in any way you see fit.
A few words on how this all came about:
Sleep is one of the things I love most in life. Unfortunately, for a very long time, I’ve had a very unhealthy relationship with it. Sleeping too much. Sleeping too little. Can’t get to sleep. Can’t wake up. A sleep schedule that slips around the clock leaving me waking at 7am some times and 7pm others. Bad mattresses, noisy neighbors and nightmares. The perfect sleep always seems to elude me.
I’ve tried many things to solve this problem: Stretching, herbal tea, pain-relievers, reading, counting, visualizing various things, clearing my mind, watching movies… However, listening to music has long been my method of choice. Over the years I’ve slowly altered my bedtime music selections, looking for the perfect music to get lost and drift away in. Never quite finding the perfect solution, I began to think about what helped me the most and started considering writing and recording a piece for my own use, which is what inspired the creation of these pieces.
Hopefully, one of these 60 pieces of music will help bring you a restful sleep.
