Sleep song (chirps of the exosphere)

"I got to work with the sounds captured at Rumassala Sanctuary in Sri Lanka. I was enchanted by how bustling the jungle beach actually is - it is absolutely packed with sounds. I was especially drawn to the tweets and chirps of the birds and insects, which inspired me to record a simple, peaceful, lullaby-like song. I don’t know what time of day it was when these sounds were captured, but I imagined it was night - hence the idea for a lullaby.
"The lyrics were inspired by one of the singers I admire, the late Chuck Mosley; I imagined singing a farewell lullaby to him, far beyond our Earthly realm, joined by a choir of birds and insects whose voices are filtered by the many layers of the Earth’s atmosphere."
