Produced by Wave Farm Radio.
The Somnambutone features guest composer Dan Matz. Matz is a founding member of the accidental project/ flash in the pan Windsor For The Derby. He has also released several records under projects such as the Birdwatcher, The Ages, and Dan Matz. Matz currently lives in Philadelphia where he continues recording incessantly and is a member of WFTD, the choral group the Silver Ages, and the Gianmarco Cilli Band. For tonight's program he presents 'Nix Nix Nix Night'.
The Somnambutone broadcasts sounds to accompany dreams. This radio series is like a game of telephone, where each original composition is drawn from the last. The sound passes from musician to musician in the hope of replicating the unexpected and consistent changes we see in the dream scape. Tune in every Sunday night at 2 a.m. and close your eyes. The Somnambutone is an audiovisual, unconscious experience. Organized by Sarah Margaret Halpern.
