The soundscape and drone was first composed and performed by VictorYibril - Spain. 
Acoustic expansion and percussion was then added by MATJAMI - Netherlands. "Sleeping Sun" is the prelude and the inspiration to the second collaboration "Victor Meets MATJAMI(VMM-style)". 
Victor made the cover art painting after we completed the musical art.
For the maximum 3-D sonic experience (Bi-anural!), position your head almost between the speakers, or use a good headphone (most ear plugs will not give you the rich, deep texture of sounds, or the 3-D image). Don't start too loud; you can always turn it up later!

Enjoy and share with friends!
 

MATJAMI and VictorYibril - Sleeping Sun

MATJAMI: Acoustic-electronic soundscapes, deep beats, slow trance, empty space: meditation by listening and playing. 
Tip: Use good speakers or headphones to enjoy the rich, deep sounds and binaural recordings.

We three at MATJAMI (Marcel Bode, Tjalling de Leeuw, Mike de Leeuw) develop our sounds and grooves as we interact live, using our bronze, wooden and stringed instruments, (Balinese gamelan & gongs, bowls, Tibetan horns, Chinese guxing & gongs, Javanese kendang drums, timpani, beer bottles) with Native electronics, samples and live loops. The quality and the texture of our sounds are at least as important as the composition. 
We play our sessions 'on the fly', where one of us starts and the rest comes in at leisure... All you hear here was recorded live, with only some simple stereo and eq mixing afterwards.
We love to perform in open areas, theaters, level stage, and spaces with a special feel to them; a small audience is just as nice.
Recently we started collaborating with other audio-artists like VictorYibril, Fintan O'Brien and Phlip Smith (G.A.), Miraela, and Augenmerk, combining their very different music styles, field recordings and soundscapes with our beats and sounds.

"...En calma, algo que no se entera.
En la gran serenidad.
Con inmensa indiferencia
planea silenciosamente en lo alto.
Es la inmovilidad
que se mueve obediente a la luz.
Abandonada a la divina voluntad.
Ensimismada y ofreciendose a la par.
Un movimiento que no es de traslación ni alteración
y que es calma profunda, quietud..."
(Maria Zambrano)

Sometimes I do the music that I would have liked to listen to, other times the music emerges alone and it surprises me.
I feel closer to the sound than to the music
My music is not meant to be heard only with the ears but with the whole full body.
