The Scrapbook album consists of 24 thematic sound sketches. The composition is based on superimposing different sound layers on top of each other, as in scrapbooking. The author used various samples from old new-age cassettes and vinyl records, tape loops, field recordings, various noises, guitars, and piano.

1. Good Morning. Every day is a new life.

2. Birds of Nevada. By the sound of the birds, you will know that you are not at home.

3. Light Rail. You recognize life when you see movement.

4. Cyclone. That feeling when a hurricane rages a hundred miles away, and an unsettling wind and rain hit your window.

5. Period I. Listening to the water.

6. Gesture. Body language speaks volumes about what words leave unsaid.

7. Noh. We are actors in the theatre of life, having forgotten who we truly are.

8. Magic Night. Magic is an unknown science.

9. Differentiation of Feelings. To cope with emotions, you must first understand what you feel.

10. Period II. Water is time.

11. Ceremony. Life is made up of rituals. But any ritual loses its meaning when its essence is forgotten.

12. Portrait of the Moon. The image of the Moon represents peace and tranquility.

13. The Sands of Time. Time is the most irresistible force in the universe.

14. Initiation. Only a pure devotee of the Lord can give the Mantra of liberation.

15. Period III. Water is Wisdom.

16. Fata Morgana. The most significant difference between people is how deeply they are immersed in illusions.

17. Miniature Lamps. You can be a small lamp, shining even when the Sun of Truth is hidden.

18. Fire Walk with Me. Sometimes it gets scary, but keep holding the torch of Truth.

19. Pollination. Material nature is God's smile.

20. Period IV. Water Cleanses.

21. Preparing to Leave. Without renunciation, there is no freedom.

22. Pocket Watch. Live in harmony with time.

23. Terminal. Don't get too comfortable in this world; it's just a brief stopover.

24. Good Night. Every night is a little death.

Rafael Diogo about 'Where Shadows Sleep':

'Where Shadows Sleep' is a meditative sonic diary, born from my recent journeys across South America and the Middle East & North Africa. It weaves together the contrasts I witnessed — between cultures, faiths, and the presence and absence of the divine. It reflects on what humanity celebrates and laments, offering a space for both solace and reflection.

In the Amazon, the earth hummed in delicate whispers, lush and endless. I captured its heartbeat, learning to embrace medicinal plants, cradled in the quiet power of nature’s embrace. These sacred moments of peace stand in stark contrast to my time in the Middle East & North Africa, where desolation echoes and resilience blooms in the shadow of struggle. These two worlds became sonic prayers, woven mantras of hope-seeking balance in their wake.

Each track began as a field recording, a raw imprint of place and time. Slowly, these elemental sounds transformed, enriched by layers of tape loops, healing instruments, and synths. Together, they form a spiritual vessel — an album that soothes the soul, invites deep introspection, and gently awakens an awareness of the world’s fragility and strength.

Rafael Diogo, known as Deep Dive Sound, is a Portuguese field recordist and ambient composer based in London. He draws inspiration from the stories of diverse cultures, objects, and places, transforming them into soundscapes that resonate with immediacy and depth. His work captures a delicate nostalgia, reconnecting us to the sensory essence of time and memory.

Guided by a passion for travel, Rafael explores remote corners of the world, capturing field recordings that weave a rich tapestry of shifting memories. His compositions reflect a deep connection to ecology, illuminating the fragility of nature while embracing its wonder. Through his music, he creates intimate soundscapes that preserve fleeting moments and forgotten places, inviting listeners to rediscover what might otherwise fade into silence.

Recording Locations: Amazon Rainforest – Peru, Colombia / Middle East – Palestine, Egypt

Emmanuel Witzthum - Musquy (Dream) excerpt

There comes a time for everything in existence that rebirth is the only way forward. Transmission explores the reforging of beliefs and ideas through drones and darker ambient textures.

I have explored a much wider sonic palette with the release. Straight synthesis, field recordings, sampling and resampling, along with both new and old equipment have pushed me to find new ways to express myself.

Instruments Used:
ASM Hydrasynth
JD800
Deepmind
MPC One
Pigments
