It takes a week to recover from a SLEEP performance, but anyone that has been to a show will know how special these occasions are. I feel a connection to the audience that's impossible to replicate at a normal concert. It's incredibly hard to perform SLEEP, but it is SO worth it.

Performing SLEEP is a marathon. Normally it takes me a week to change my body clock around so that I can make it through the night. Getting through the eight hours is a zen practice really, I can’t afford to let my mind wonder or think about how many hours of playing are ahead...

I wrote VOICES for what I call a ‘negative orchestra’, made up primarily of basses and cellos. This comes out of my feeling that our world has been turned upside-down. I wanted to see if I could make hopeful music out of these dark materials. Out July 31st

In SLEEP I used a very specific frequency spectrum, made up almost exclusively of very low frequencies to evoke a sense of origins. This spectrum has this effect on us because it is the same as the unborn baby hears in the womb. SLEEP lets us revisit it for a moment.

For the last hour the spectrum opens upward, including more and more high frequencies, so there is a kind of sunrise in the music. There are more than 250 pages in the score for SLEEP, and when we get towards the last few, after 8 hours of playing, the feeling is indescribable.
