Before Sleep from The Keynote by Sylvia Villa

Before Sleep is the longest piece on the album, running at 8 minutes. Essentially it is a lullaby that is inspired by the process of falling asleep. What happens in that period before we fall asleep, and why do we never remember it? They say we should get an average of 8 hours of sleep per night which is so difficult in this busy modern world. Perhaps this lullaby will help soothe you and send you off into the stars….

Sylvia Villa is a British composer, pianist and graduate from the Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama, having studied both acoustic and electronic music composition. Her music has a rather ethereal, delicate and innocent quality that is frequently twisted by moments that are eerie, macabre and haunting.
