this is a short post, for those who might catch it, written 6.5 hours into the sleep concert. i am currently playing ’somnabulist’ by tsone aka tony obr in manipulated form. the sleep concert, in performance, thus far has been a total success. through the night people have slept soundly. i began the concert by playing just below the audible range the words of robert rich along with my pianos. the subtle messages heard just below consciousness lulled more than half the attendees to sleep. i followed this by chad viator’s remix of my work ‘love is subatomic’ while playing a recording of two people falling asleep provided by specta ciera, this seemed to really do the trick. i follwed this with nicholas sczcepanik’s drone, for any who weren’t asleep this was the sonic melatonin than did the rest in.

as for the rest of the concert, im too delirious now to remember exactly what i played. many many pieces. during the day, about 20 people showed up and heard many of your compositions in their original form. i could not be happier with the success of this event. during the week, once i get a full days sleep, i will do much more blogging about it including pictures and other cool stuff.

this has been an incredible test of endurance, both the concert and the preparation. my confidence level is soaring. you have no idea how hard it is to stay awake while listening to music intended for sleep and watching 20 people sleep their you know whats off. tomorrow when i get home i am certain i will get an amazing day AND night of sleep feeling like things went off better than expected.

i also want to note how totally amazing the video that chika provided is. contrary to keeping people awake or entertained i believe it helped lull the audience to sleep since no one and i mean no one has been up all night or even a majority of the night.

want to also mention how totally rockin the crew of antenna gallery has been.

more soon
