While You're Sleeping

Mostly Cinematic. Mostly Ambient. Instrumentals.

Chasing Noise is a musical project by Donnie Angkuw. Born in Indonesia, a simple dream, which is to turn art into an energy for people who need consolation and comfort, brought Chasing Noise to life. His love for nature and life itself inspired a cinematic and atmospheric essence in his music.

New album is coming June 5, 2020. Meanwhile my latest album, When The City Sleeps is available on iTunes, Spotify, Deezer, Bandcamp, and many other stores. Get it now, or maybe later.

Thank you for listening.  Whether writing and recording bluesy rock tunes with @twelve-above, or composing psychedelic instrumentals at home, creating music has become my favorite pastime.  I write these tracks to continually work on improving my composing, playing, recording, mixing/mastering, and arranging skills.  Also because I love creating a piece of music from a blank slate, allowing it to take me where it wants to go, and discovering/creating new and interesting sounds along the way.  I like blues, jazz, rock, classical, and anything psychedelic that reminds me of Pink Floyd, David Bowie, the Twilight Zone, or old campy sci-fi movie sounds.

I would welcome the idea of collaborating on music or movie projects with other like-minded artists, just send me a message.

Any feedback on the music is greatly appreciated.

It's all about developing a new genre of music - 'Cinematic poetry', in which tempo and conventional music theory no longer hold. It's the liberation of sounds that parallels the flow of mind and creates an alternative ambience. Come and feel the cantabile poetry and immerse yourself in a new world.
