A note from this shelf
Submerge into somnolent depths: Stewart Keller's SHRIMP GAME: OVERKRILL OST scores an atmospheric underwater RPG replete with horrific sea creatures and Lovecraftian bosses, while Willebrant's The Knight Seas offers "more music for the somnolent" — slowed and reverb-drenched electric bass, synths, and ebow guitar. Selected Works - Slowed and Reverb, Volume 2 continues those long-form drones for the absent mind, and LowPilott's Transmissions from the Quiet layers evolving drones and spacious field recordings into a nocturnal soundtrack for late-night focus. Josh Richardson's A Portrait of Patrick Dorfman rounds things out with slow music for fast times — 20 years of recordings woven into one original composition.
