A note from Ethan, Director of Music and Sound Design at Pzizz about this dreamscape:

"'Inwardness' was composed and recorded this winter while I traveled through northern California visiting family. The title comes from my father’s playful name for the town he lives in. The pun is accurate though, as my time spent in the rainy woods did indeed inspire a thoughtful and reflective peace and calm. To start things off, I recorded my father playing an old traditional folk song on acoustic guitar - I then slowed down the recording significantly, selecting various passages and moments that suited the different sections that constitute a dreamscape. I then recorded some wind chimes, recorder, organ, electric guitar, and synthesizers to accent the mood with texture and gesture. All this was set against a quite magical recording of rain in the woods that, to me, exemplifies the notion of being inward: it is intimate and vast simultaneously. We hope that these elements will guide you towards a calming and reflective rest."

A note from Ethan, Director of Music and Sound Design at Pzizz about this dreamscape:

"'Fireside' is an exciting exploration for us. In this dreamscape, we wanted to create a simple and realistic auditory scenario to relax in and drift off to sleep. And what is more comfy than being curled up near a fireplace, with a friend or family member softly playing piano to accompany the crackles of the fire? While the audio is adjusted to become progressively ’dreamier’ as the sequences unfold, this dream scape is wonderfully simple: a fireplace and a piano, positioned in the stereo field so as to sound like you are in the room with them as the calming sounds of both help you fall asleep."

A note from Ethan, Director of Music and Sound Design at Pzizz about this dreamscape:

"Another piece engaging with a vast environment, this dreamscape imagines the listener in a desert oasis as the sun recedes behind an oscillating horizon of dunes and sparse vegetation. Wind swirls by softly, and crickets chirp playfully in the distance. Using several flutes and reed instruments, harp, harmonium drones, synthesizers, and softly-played percussion, the music accompanies the environment as if a group of musicians was serenading the sunset – and you – as the world falls to a hushed sleep."

A note from Ethan, Director of Music and Sound Design at Pzizz about this dreamscape:

"Imagining the listener on a beach in tropical climate, this segment is a serenade with a simple lulling arrangement. Using binaural recordings of waves and ambient tropical wildlife murmuring softly in the background, this dreamscape provides an enveloping soundstage for the accompanying music: ukuleles strum and pluck contemplatively, an accordion phases like passing clouds, flutes and a celeste sing with the wind, and an mbira outlines dreamy phrases.

Utilizing much of our research, this piece does some exciting things: its tempo slows intermittently - including the tempo/repetition of the waves, encouraging a concurrent relaxation of breath and heart rate; and there is subtle frequency modulation throughout, creating a dynamic and detailed soundscape that breathes in a gradually decreasing pace, guiding the listener into a state best suited for successful rest."

A note from Ethan, Director of Music and Sound Design at Pzizz about this dreamscape:

"Using field recordings from a northern California pond at sundown as the setting - frogs chattering, wind rustling, and the occasional rippling tide, we expanded on the initial theme with the piano, a lullaby composed by an old friend. We then added a choral arrangement, and soft bells to round off the distant pace. As the piece progresses, it's tempo decreases incrementally: starting at 65 beats per minute (bpm), and gradually arriving at 48bpm, an optimal rate to synchronize breathing and heart rate for deep sleep. To improve these sleep-inducing conditions further, a .8Hz binaural beat fades into play, warming up the sonic landscape and settling the scene into a calm hazy unconsciousness."

This dreamscape prototype includes the Intro, Falling, Sleeping and Waking sections. A note from Ethan, Director of Music and Sound Design at Pzizz about this dreamscape:

"Saturn Set imagines the listener in a space voyager, gliding among Saturn's rings as the sun fades. 

We did several fun things with small snippets of audio recordings from the Cassini space mission. First, we took some of the more pleasant moments - keep in mind most of these space recordings sound like a mix between a white noise avalanche and a microwave dance party - and developed a soothing soundscape. After that we took tonal elements of the recordings, and fed them into a sampler, creating a keyboard-like instrument out of the actual sounds of Saturn. We then fleshed the music out with some classic Casio keyboard string harmonies, and an epic organ for the morphing ostinato movement in the lower register to compliment the synthesizer drones. 

The piece also uses an important psychoacoustic technique: slowing down incrementally in the early sections, such that by several minutes in, the music has lulled to a tempo corresponding to a healthy resting heart rate for sleep."
