"Perché Dormiamo?" First DEMO version. Composed in the evening between the 5th and the 6th o January (probaly). The Piano sound was probably a Quicktime MIDI system sound. 

The title of the track came to me in the summer of 2006 at the Natural History Museum in London, looking at  a shrine with the reproduction of a small dinosaur portrayed in the act of sleeping.

The question that arose kept running through my head like a melancholy riddle throughout my stay in London.  "Why do we sleep? Why do we sleep? Why do we sleep? Why do we sleep? ..."

I finished the piece in January 2020, but still couldn't get an answer.

quiescence!
touching not the blossoms,
temple bell's voice

Assembled using a combination of Voltage Modular and Bento, the noise synth from Giorgio Sancristoforo; https://www.giorgiosancristoforo.net (Bento is about 2/3 of the way down the list).

I started out with Bento, got it set up worked out which controls I wanted to manipulate the moved onto Voltage Modular and patched together the other elements I'd need. Although a bit of a fiddle, I'd assigned all my physical controls to Bento so had to control all the VM components with the mouse, everything was manipulated and recorder in a single live take.
