Dream Gate · Descent into Night

A warm, slowly changing sound field: a low root with its fifth and octave, and upper tones that surface now and then. There is no particular beat. In the first minutes let your jaw, shoulders and body go; then over eighteen minutes the sound darkens and fades on its own. It does not push you to sleep. A piece of sound design with no claim of any effect.
