Great preview here from Jon Hopkins’ Late Night Tales album due for release next month. The track is Sleepers Beat Theme by Ben Lukas Boysen.
“I encountered this on the soundtrack to a short film I contributed music to about the Trans-Siberian Express, called Sleepers’ Beat, which was directed by a fantastic Russian filmmaker called Anastasia Kirillova. I thought it was such a calming and sensitive piece, and one that sounded to me like the beginning of something.” – Jon Hopkins

“”If everything isn’t black & white, I say, “why the hell not”… – John Wayne
“Smell the sea, and feel the sky, Let your soul and spirit fly.”
“Every day I wake up and smile,
Twenty four hours lie ahead of me.
I vow to live each moment fully
And look at all beings with compassionate eyes.”
“I see ambient music as a positive force in our world. It can’t change it but it might be strong enough to inspire people, to help them heal and to spread optimism.”
