# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
At its time, one of the longest continuous musical composition ever released on any format, Somnium represents an ambient music landmark. In the 1990s, Robert Rich meticulously crafted a fresh studio interpretation of his notorious all-night Sleep Concerts, incorporating newly recorded electro-acoustic, electronic and environmental textures, with elements created for the original live events.

Somnium guides the listener through an ever-changing dreamscape, with levels of subtle detail that reward both active attention and background listening. Deep and sonorous, mysterious and diffuse, liquid and hypnogogic.

Somnium first came out on DVD format, but now that we have higher internet speeds, it becomes more feasible to allow people to purchase the full 7 hour as a download. Be aware that some sites offer a 74 minute CD length "excerpted" download due to older restrictions in distribution. The download offered here is the best sounding commercially available version of the entire piece.

============

Listening Tips:
You can listen to Somnium at any hour, at any volume, but it works best quietly at night. You can set the best listening levels by adjusting the first 10 minutes so that it plays at a soft, comfortable volume for falling asleep. The environmental sounds during these opening minutes should be nearly inaudible. The music will gradually slow down and become quieter during the first hour, so that when you are sleeping, it should be soft enough that it hovers just at the edge of awareness.

You can create the optimum listening environment with mutiple speakers arranged in a circle around the listening space. Although Somnium is a stereo recording, you can use the effects settings in a 5.1-channel home theatre amplifier to create the illusion of a complete environment. A four speaker stereo arrangement can also succeed in evoking this environmental effect. You can listen to Somnium in your sleep with a small pair of headphones, although these can become uncomfortable if you try to sleep on your side. If you choose to use headphones, be sure to keep the volume extremely low.

Somnium and the Sleep Concert
by Robert Rich

The term "Sleep Concert" can be a bit misleading, as it implies that this music is intended to help you sleep deeply. On the contrary, when you play Somnium at night, you may find that you sleep less deeply, and wake up more often. The idea is to let the music incorporate itself into your perceptual framework during the night, to create a sonic surround, an environment for unique states of consciousness. The music is aimed at the nebulous territory that exists in your mind when you are hovering between awake and asleep, when you are still aware of your environment, yet detached, when your half-sleeping mind wanders into the realm of hypnogogic images and dreamlike non-linearity. You might find that this music can act as a trigger for these flowing thoughts, and the activation of the environment around you can help you to skate around the edges of sleep, with one foot in the dream world and one foot in the room where you are sleeping.

The experience of listening to Somnium in your home will differ from the experience of audience members during the Sleep Concerts that inspired this music. In the concert environment, an additional state of heightened arousal can occur from social factors, whereas the environment of the home is more relaxed. At home you will have more choices about the way you listen to this music, so the music must also conform to these different possibilities.

Certain things happen when many people sleep in a room together. In general, people sleep less deeply. One of the more mundane reasons for this is snoring. An estimated 10% of the population snores, which means that in a room with 50-100 people, some will snore. Since the music is generally very quiet, snoring can become invasive (and sometimes it's quite funny.) Besides snoring, other interruptions will doubtless invade the Sleep Concert ambience. Among these may be traffic sounds, car alarms, sirens, or people walking around in the room when they get up to use the bathroom. Audience members may also notice my presence in the room as I work behind the mixer. The simple noises of other people can keep listeners in a lighter sleep.

Interestingly, people become more physiologically activated merely by being in the proximity of other people. Perhaps this arousal is a purely chemical phenomenon. This is one of the interesting features that distinguish a live Sleep Concert from listening to Somnium at home. In the act of bringing a group of people together in the same room, we create an energized environment, which can contribute to the intensity of personal experiences. But for these factors to contribute to an interesting aesthetic experience, listeners must combine this activation with an increase in attention to internal states of mind. The music helps to intensify this internal focus. You can use Somnium at home in the same way.

The musical environment of Somnium can act like a lens to sharpen mental images, a stimulus to help you generate internal realities. Some of the sounds are abstract, blurry, hard to separate from the background. Other sounds evoke natural environments, open spaces, insects and animal calls, wind or rain. The music can replace the acoustics of a room with a shifting virtual soundscape.

To get the most out of Somnium, I recommend that you focus on several aspects of the sleeping experience. The most interesting experiences will occur in the transitions between sleeping and waking, and later when you are dreaming. Stage 1, non-REM sleep is the transitional stage of sleep, when you are still partly conscious of your environment. This distinguishes it from Rapid Eye Movement sleep (REM), when you have the most coherent dreams.

During the transitions into Stage 1 sleep, you might have dreamlike thoughts and visions called hypnogogic images. Hypnogogic images are often less organized than true dreams, and often come blended with a semi-awareness of your environment. If you pass from this stage into a deeper sleep, you will not remember these images and thoughts. But if you can linger at the edge, slipping in and out of stage 1 sleep, you can ride along the edge of your own awareness. You can use the music as a focal point to hold yourself right at the brink of sleep, to help you maintain this hypnogogic state like a surfer uses gravity to stay on the leading edge of a wave. During these hypnogogic experiences, you might find that the sonic environment triggers dreamlike hallucinations, evoking fragile new mental landscapes.

You might also remember more dreams while sleeping with Somnium, and they might be more vivid and intense. The reasons for this again relate to the activated environment. In order to remember a dream, you must wake up from it. The more you pay attention upon awakening, the more you will remember and the more vivid the memories will be.

One of the more interesting dream experiences you might encounter is lucid dreaming - when you become aware that you are dreaming while still in the dream. Once you become aware that you are dreaming, you can affect the action within your dream, letting you explore the dream world actively rather than as a passive observer. Lucid dreaming becomes possible when you pay attention to the signs that you are dreaming, when you attend to your conscious processes. You may find that the activating nature of the Somnium environment can help you to pay closer attention to your mental states, and may even help you have a lucid dream.

For some people, more intense dreams can become unpleasant, due in part to negative expectations and mental habit. Self-awareness, and lucid dreaming in particular, can help overcome some of these habitual reactions. When you dream, your mind is trying to interpret current physiological and environmental conditions, and these interpretations can become incorporated into dream content. If your body starts to generate more energy or tension, the brain can interpret this arousal as fear, and the night's dreams might develop some dark overtones. However, the brain can also interpret arousal as mystical ecstasy, joy or sexual energy. All of these feelings are closely related in the body, and they relate closely to past experiences, expectations and environmental cues. The music on Somnium does not intentionally evoke any specific images, light or dark, but rather hangs in an indistinct place which you can interpret in many ways, like the ink-blots of a Rorschach test.

The dream journey resembles a shaman's journey, in that shamans know that they carry with them their own expectations when they enter their spirit world. Likewise, your past and your preconceptions will influence your dreams, along with your current environment. Throughout Somnium, the music gets quite deep, it explores the shadows. The music is also quite gentle. If you open yourself up to the possibility of intense experience, you can explore your mental states with an open mind. Even the shadows contain useful information. The more you pay attention, the more you might find.

Songs of Gold, Incandescent (Expanded Edition, 2019)

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Songs Of Gold are nine small portraits, culled from compilations, limited run cassette releases, choreographies, and singles. Some pieces were worked on for a length of time, others materialized in just about one take. All the songs are derived by an encounter with an object, a place or a person. Or by a combination of these. The events are translated into the work through the intermediary of symbolic sounds and notes. There is no thematic link between the compositions.

I. CULATRA ISLAND (2010)
When solid and fluid embrace. On a sandy beach in South Portugal.
II. A TREATISE ON HOT WATER, VERSION (2011)
A location recording, tracing the boiling water in a fumarole to a counterpoint of its surrounding fauna. The frogs and one of the birds you hear on this track, were only dwelling around these steaming vents, nowhere to be found on the other parts of the island. Thus these animals create their own small island, inside.
III. SWEETEN THE MANGO (2012)
Circumstances... A bar, hidden in
a thick forest bordering a vast lava plain. The barkeeper fronts a small exhibition-a few panels of newspaper clippings-on the independence movement. On one of the panels, in black marker, someone wrote a few lines of Missionary Graveyard, a poem by Haunani-Kay Trask, a Hawaiian poet, academic and activist. Next to a faded sticker of the Shaka sign. Outside the bar, a white dreadlocked hippy plays the ukulele. Coqui frogs are chirping in the background. This song is an investigation. A missionized hymn,
a melancholic piano vignette, and the church bells, counterpointing island fauna. A question mark.
IV. GROTTELLE (2013)
Three years ago, while travelling through the Pontine Islands, I witnessed a young-and presumably rich-woman snorkelling. In an absurd yet beautiful tableau, she was floating innocently, while being flanked in the water by her two servants wading clumsily through the reefs. A set-off with former times, when these latitudes-of volcanic origin-where used to exile dissidents, both in Ancient Rome and during the 20th century under the former Italian fascist regime. Grottelle is a vignette about a leeward bay on Zannone Island, one of the smaller Pontines. Based on these sounds Siet Raeymaekers,
a dancer, invented movements and gestures. Thus reproducing an actual picture of this remote bay. And a portrait about banishment...
V. THE GECKO (2014)
In Le Labrene, a short story by Tommaso Landolfi, the narrator becomes paralyzed when a gecko drops on him from the ceiling. He remains sentient while being in suspended animation. His surroundings believe him to be dead thus act as he isn't there anymore. The narrator though, in his paralyzed vessel, hears everything that happens around him, and is witness to grotesque scenes of underhand gossip and attempts of adultery. The image forms an odd variation on the last moments before the attack, when the gecko scrutinizes its prey.
VI. A HIMENE TARAVA FOR PAUL GAUGUIN (2012)
The Great Darkness of Paul Gauguin. Framed into a beautiful mockery by inhabitants of Bora Bora, Society Islands. The Himene is recorded by me outside a small bar, in one of my least favourite cities in the world-Paris, France. The singers didn't look like they fell out of one of the paintings by the protagonist.
VII. LAVA (2013)
The volcanic eruption. Burning lava flows. The black void of the lava beds. The electronic waves in this song create a lively afterimage. Lava is an extended mix of the middle section from The Bells From Above, a sound collage in three parts.
VIII. TRADEWIND (2015)
The metaphorical winds, created for an exotist compilation...
IX. THE MELODY OF TAGALOAALAGI (2014)
"In Samoan mythology, Tagaloa (also known as Tagaloa-lagi or Tagaloa of the Heavens/Skies) is generally accepted as the supreme ruler, the creator of the universe, the chief of all gods and the progenitor of other gods and humans. Tagaloa dwelt in space and made the Heavens (lagi), the sky, the land, the seas, the fresh water, the trees and the people. Samoans believed Tagaloa created nine heavens (lagi tua iva). After Tagaloa made the islands, the humans developed from worms. The arrival of missionaries and Christianity in Samoa from 1830 saw the Samoan atua gods like Tagaloa, replaced by a Christian deity." (Wikipedia)
X. CORAL GROUPS (2015)
A live concert piece for 32 channels with an undefined duration.
Various found objects, electronics, piano vignettes and field recordings are put into relation with each other in an improvised way, creating a panorama that's both random and directional. I presented this piece between early 2013 and spring 2016, in Finland, Sweden, Japan, Mexico, United States, Italy, Germany, Denmark, United Kingdom, Belgium, among other.
The excerpt here has been recorded close to the final performance of the piece, when things started to come together quite naturally. Recorded live at Gold+Beton Gallery, Köln, Germany, november 2015.
XI. PĀ'UA (2014)
Humble is the melody / which flows the giant clam
XII. A SUBTLE LANDSCAPE (2014)
A pitch-to-midi pattern, loosely created through a landscape. The recording of its sounds and flaws, through programming and editing, triggers an arpeggiated GM-xylophone sound. Lo!, a direct take on Programme Music.

released February 10, 2019

... derived by an encounter with an object, a place or a person. A variety of events, transposed into songs. Recorded in Antwerp and on location, 2010-2015.

Mastered by Christophe Albertijn.
For Wietske Van Gils, Floris Vanhoof, Haunani-Kay Trask, Francesco Cavaliere, Siet Raeymaekers, Albert Wendt, and Lava.
