about

The first sleep album. It was incorrectly titled, as I later discovered that it is physically impossible for us to snore during the N4 sleep stage. Also of note are the frequent cassette breaks present during some of the N3 recordings. They document the obsessive compulsive "button pushing" behavior that I developed during the unconscious conditioning process. Download comes with art and pdf of text.

DEFINITIONS:
N1: Loss of some conscious awareness of the external environment and muscle tone.

N2: Conscious awareness of the external environment completely disappears.

N3: The stage in which night terrors, bed-wetting, sleep-walking and sleep-talking occur.

N4: A deeper version of N3, in which the deep-sleep characteristics are pronounced.
