This two-part overnight dreaming mini-series invites you to listen as you sleep! Let these ambient, vocal sound waves soothe through the night, or any time you want to relax and find some deep chill. Designed around 1 and 1/2 hour cycles to mimic your sleep, these episodes get more and more quiet so you can set the volume comfortably at the start, and know you won't be disturbed. The article referred to in this episode, on how we process voices in sleep, is in New Scientist, and you can find it here: https://www.newscientist.com/article/2304918-unknown-voices-spark-more-brain-activity-in-sleep-than-familiar-ones/ I mentioned Ione's book "Listening in Dreams" and you can pick up a copy of that and explore more about Deep Listening over here: https://www.deeplistening.org/

We break our long silence in the podcast feed with a very special episode for the solstice holidays. An immersive, imaginary sound walk through a wintery, landscape - complete with stops at market sound stages, through bustling train stations packed with holiday travelers out into the landscape and past seasonal bonfires to the depths of the forest and even catch an improvised performance deep inside a cave... Enjoy the spatialized field recordings with very little processing save layering, mixing and mastering - with locations from Berlin to New Zealand, South Africa to Finland - captured in a single, sonic ramble through the holidays. May it warm your holidays by giving you a great reason to turn down the lights, grab your headphones, put tired feet up by the fire, and let your ears do the walking this holiday season.
