Tanner Menard – sommiel: a concert for sleep

~ Sean Monaghan ~ Leave a comment

Tanner Menard is curating an amazing event – a nine-hour long mix of ambient music to sleep to. The mix will include the Venus Vulture track We Heard Distant Rainfall. See more about the event in the press release at Tanner’s site. “Sleep concerts are all-night events in which the audience is asked to attend the concert with a sleeping bag and pillow and to fall asleep while a slowly unfolding sonic texture evolves over the course of the night and into the morning”. The concert takes place on the night of April 11th, in New Orleans

Signal Artifacts reviews

A couple of archive.org users have reviewed Signal Artifacts – one postive, one not so much – nice to have a balance:

Subject: hmmm
just not really there for me. not a lot happens – yes, i know its ambient. tonally ok but in terms of interesting development it is lacking. not quite up to his standard nor resting bells.

another high quality release and a really rather lovely and interesting addition to the Resting Bell catalogue.
