Somnium is Robert Rich's seven-hour studio interpretation of the all-night Sleep Concerts he began performing in the 1980s. Assembled from electro-acoustic, electronic, and environmental material recorded between 1994 and 2000, it guides the listener through an evolving dreamscape intended to accompany sleep and hypnagogic awareness. Its vast duration allows textures to change almost beneath perception, leaving room to drift off or follow the changing sounds.
