about

SLEEPWALKS explores the impact of sound on dreams by playing in museums and other venues to a sleeping audience, who then journal about their experience in the morning. Our goal for this long-term project is to create soundwalks for dreamers.

Lee Pembleton and Andrea Williams use field recordings, live samples of room resonance, and various electronically processed acoustic instruments, to improvise a twelve hour musical composition for an audience that sleeps in the performance space. Coffee and tea is served in the morning as the participants wake up, and they are asked to journal about their dreams and experiences.

During the performance Pembleton and Williams record the sound samples they use. Over the past several years, they have often been joined by Dr Todd Anderson, who records the brain states of sleepers to allow for identification of REM and deep sleep. Later, by examining the brain states of participants at the times they dreamt and comparing this with their dreams and sound files playing at those times, they look for correlations between the sounds in the improvisation and writings from the participants' dream journals. The goal of this long-term project is to learn to compose soundwalk experiences for dreamers.

SleepWalks does not use spoken word as part of our guided dreaming. We do not use hypnosis, subliminal, nor subconscious verbal manipulation. Rather, we create an audio travelogue of abstract soundscapes; suggestions of environments.

Want to participate, but can't make it to an overnight event? You can now collaborate with us remotely!
This album is one full night of material. It is taken from our September 2, 02016 performance in Troy, New York. Start the tracks playing as you prepare for bed. Then let us know what you dreamt! Email us at dreams (nautilus-like symbol) sleepwalks (black hole-like punctuation) org. Please include permission or denial to share your dream on our website. Also, if you know roughly when you woke or when you dreamt (that is, approximately how many minutes into which sound file) share that with us, too.
