Hypnagogia

"The underwater atmosphere of Singapore Hydrophone Underwater Labrador Park at night reminded me of the sensation I had for years as a kid to dive into the darkness of my sleep. I later learnt about Hypnagogia, the transition between wakefulness and sleep. I was experiencing visual and auditive hallucinations, which are still feeding my creativity today. The field recordings I have been inspired from is a sound I have already heard in that state and it was both strange and therapeutic to dive into. Sleep has always been a mysterious struggle in my life so it was a great opportunity to explore it and plunge into the darkness of a temporary death once again."
