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.
