lwrcs by Nicolussi
This piece was composed for the project »Music For Sleep« by Cities and Memory. Original field recording was provided by Michelle Breslin, listen here: https://audioboom.com/posts/8372747-the-wind-rocks-me-gently
The inspiration for »lwrcs« was mainly driven by the feedback-like howling of the wind in the original field recording. It’s rich in frequencies but also has something eerie yet warm to it. When being played silently it sounds like a sung melody.
Digital and analog feedback loops and warm tape noise create the framework for the heavily processed fragments of the field recording. Here and there you can catch a glimpse of recordings from my collaboration with AM (in paseule) as well as an inaudible voice reading a poem about the conquering of nightmares.
As studies indicate that it takes (healthy) people about 15 minutes on average to fall asleep, thus the piece is exactly 15 minutes in length. To add to the idea of creating music that aids your sleep, the overall mix and master of »lwrcs« peaks about -30dB. You won’t be able to draw any rewarding experience from listening via phone or laptop speakers. »lwrcs« is meant to be listened with earphones while in bed with the volume turned all the way up. But be cautious that it’s the only track in line – otherwise your sleep will end abruptly. Good night!
