sleepless in Chicago

Some folks sleep all night, or so I’ve heard. Maybe you’re one of them. If not, here’s a mix you might try—a sonic tonic.

1. Play this on repeat.

John Luther Adams (1953-), “The Farthest Place” (2001); piano (Clint Davis), vibraphone (Brian Archinal & Andy Bliss), bass (Satoru Tagawa), violin (Lydia Kabalen); University of Kentucky (Lexington), 2008


2. Ditto. 

Waterfall Sounds, Cow Creek


3. Adjust volume levels to taste.

For you fleas too
the nights must be long,
they must be lonely.

—Kobayashi Issa (1763-1827; translated from Japanese by Robert Hass)
