Sounds, a playlist for reading and sleeping

This is bookended with Max Richter's Sleep, which is musical, the rest in-between are just sounds of nature and appliances and stuff that can block out unwanted sounds which you cannot control, hence provided some alleviation. After the 2nd appearance of Sleep I may add more long videos which could be musical, ie: ambient kinds of minimal and classical kinds of things. I multiply it's appearance in this post 10 times so that I can when I need to play up to all at the same time, increasing it's raw uninhibited savage power to calm.

I remember the premiere of Sleep, broadcast live on BBC Radio Three.

I put my bedroom radio on, at a very low volume so I didn't disturb my neighbour through the thin party wall, and went to bed!

I woke briefly a few times, I think more in the vocalese rather than purely instrumental sections, and eventually came fully awake about twenty minutes or so before the finale, which I stayed to hear. It lasts about eight hours in full.

The premiere was held in front of an audience invited to bring sleeping bags and camping mattresses, though apparently the music was quite loud in the auditorium. The work allows performers to rest between their passages.

@ArishMell You have a wood wall instead of a brick wall separating the units? My grandparents live in a standalone house, so noise is not a problem when they watch TV with the av reciever putting out 100 watts per channel. 🍓

@trackboy Of course not! The walls are of brick!

@ArishMell then you sould be able to listen to the radio without the neighbors hearing it. 🍓🍪

You have uploaded 80+ hrs of listening (which I am sure was in error) but this is TLDL (didn't listen) I'm afraid.
