yiannis 201 Report post Posted March 15, 2019 Had a partial listen to Ambientium, Eguana and Mystic Crock and Eguana was the one I liked the most. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Salamantis 10 Report post Posted March 16, 2019 I agree yiannis. I also got the most restful sleep by putting Eguana - Tranquility on a loop and playing it low. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
timeisart 170 Report post Posted March 17, 2019 I agree yiannis. I also got the most restful sleep by putting Eguana - Tranquility on a loop and playing it low. I totally get doing that and how that means it has the mark of quality music, also I bet there's scientific studies out there that measure how well a person sleeps with and without calm music playing, probably with it being in music's favor. but just for discussion's sake a different sort of person could also say that music that puts them to sleep isn't interesting and engaging enough to keep them awake? or how they're not really consciously listening to music if it's playing while they're sleeping? not trying to be an asshole here because I agree with you but I've heard from people on both sides of this aisle before.. guess it just depends on if you're a light sleeper that needs silence or if you're someone who usually has some kind of white noise like a fan going when they sleep.

Salamantis 10 Report post Posted March 17, 2019 I'm a graveyard shift worker, so I have to sleep during the day. That means closed bedroom door, black paper on the windows, and music playing low to dampen out the sudden, harsh and discordant outside noises of people going about their day outside. It works best for me when the music is mostly in the middle ranges (not excessively bass or treble), flowing and melodic, and has a slow soft beat that gets my heartbeat and respiration to slow in sync and my brainwaves to seek the lower sleep oscillations. White noise is featureless, so it won't do those things for me. And music in midrange is the most calming and restful and relaxing for me - the sonic equivalent of stretching out in the summer woods under trees (our visual wavelength range is centered around green). Very high pitches would just make me excited or nervous, and subsonic bass is used in theaters during horror movies to induce feelings of fear and dread. I also have listened to Eguana during the day (meaning, for me, in the morning after work but not yet ready to sleep). IMO, it elegantly fits Brian Eno's definition of ambient: being interesting enough to attend to, but not so intrusive that it cannot be ignored.. 1 timeisart reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
