Today marks the launch of the new ambient drone project Somnology. This is music made for hypnagogic explorations and deep listening. First up: Relative Dimensions In Sleep – this initial release uses only manipulated audio from the 1963 Doctor Who story An Unearthly Child to create a dense and murky soundscape upon which to drift away.

Back in time, to rediscover the Artificial Intelligence sound; binding organic and technological to create bliss.
Patterns in nature, as in the human mind, are more complex than one first intuits.
You are being transmitted into the organic sphere.
On the road, no music gear, no studio, but I have a binaural mic and an iPad, and it’s the anniversary of Pete Namlook’s passing, so I felt the need to record something. Field recordings, recomposed in FieldScaper, with further processing in Cubasis.
It was never solid, it was never liquid, it was never gas. Like a forest in decay, it was always a model of entropy. What is this sound but an echo of life and death working through their paces?
