Sleeper III – from Dance Music for Sleeping (2023)
A centerpiece of my EP "Dance music for Sleeping", this track originated as an original String Quartet composition, recorded live and then deconstructed piece by piece. After slicing, sampling, and layering in electronic textures, the music morphs from lush string harmonies into an intricate, glitchy landscape. Organic sounds blend seamlessly with experimental electronics, creating a continuous evolution where the classical becomes digital, inviting listeners into a space both intimate and unpredictable—an immersive, textured journey that feels raw yet refined.
