about

This album is a little over 12 hours long and intended (but by no means required) to be played in the evening, starting roughly at 6 or 7 pm, depending on the time of year and location. The goal is to provide the soundtrack to a melancholic night of introspection and creeps, from just before twilight to just after sunrise.

I do not endorse listening to it while night driving. That just seems like a bad idea to me. Otherwise be safe and have fun. Headphones are recommended, but it can also just be left on (preferably kinda loud) in an adjacent room to haunt you and the space.

By all means be creative and listen to it however pleases you and doesn't torture anyone else.

Nothing but love.

-CAC

All music, written content, and visual art by Cory A. Capron, Copyright 2022.

Music was made using GarageBand and Audacity, with additional sounds produced with contact mics, amps, a broken electric bass, wine glasses, bottles, sheet metal, and whatever other crap was within arms reach.

All art was created with Paint 3D using a track pad. Yeah, I know I abused the crayon brush effect. I abused a lot of things making this, including myself. I'm sorry.

There are far too many heroes, inspirations, and friends to list, but I would be remiss if I did not acknowledge that this started out as a joke response to Max Richter's album Sleep before it evolved into something I started to take more seriously. So, thanks Max.

I also can't help but feel that a huge part of deciding to take this project in a more serious direction was due to my falling down a rabbit hole and discovering the indie games of Kitty Horrorshow. Thanks Mother Crow!

And finally, thank you to Tyler of Carry, and Leia of Sold Kingdom, (both acts you should go listen to!) Gabriel, Megan, Pat 626, and anyone else that has encouraged me and/or had to hear me bitch for the last few months about how this album took over my life and was driving me mad. Thank you. You are all entirely too kind.

about

Cory Capron Charlottesville, Virginia

I got into electronic music by accident when a theater production needed some sound effects. Self-taught, working mostly with an antiquated version of Garageband, and various broken things.... I find myself after a decade of homemade albums, scores for theater, and other wanderings, still without a clue what I'm doing, but still doing it. ... more

I have heard my dear friend play these songs many times before they were on an album. I should be sick of them by now, but it's still the most played album of the last three years for me. Cory Capron

Sleep Has His House
by Current 93

Discovering Current 93 marked a major shift in my work (notably starting with Wrecker). This was the album that first pulled me into the vast world of David Tibet, a dreamscape of pure wounded beauty. Cory Capron
