Sounds to Sleep – Vol 1 is the latest album to be released from independent music label Zen Music, composed and produced by music artist Peter Morley. It is transformative, transcendent and a powerful energy restorative soundscape experience.

It contains many of the Solfeggio frequencies – the ancient spiritual and healing frequencies – and features totally-immersive ambient atmospheres, sounds and calming music designed for deep relaxation and sleep, a blend of traditional western and eastern music, sounds and healing binaural beat frequencies.

Healing frequencies, often associated with sound therapy and Solfeggio tones, are believed to have a positive impact on physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being. These frequencies, when applied through sound or vibration, are thought to interact with the body's natural energy field, promoting healing, balance, and transformation. 

In this stress-producing modern age a lot of people are turning to Bio-Frequencies to help them de-stress, manage anxiety and sleep better. This new album combines the best of the bio-healing frequencies with purpose-designed ambient calming, relaxing music. This blend is powerful, restorative and renewing.

Sounds to Sleep – Vol 1 is a specialist album designed to promote deep relaxation, and an aid for rest and sleep – using music and sounds created in specific vibrational frequencies that are considered by western science, as well as traditional eastern healing cultures to be therapeutic in nature, and therefore an aid to greater health and wellness. A large range of these so-called ‘ancient healing frequencies’ are associated with the positive health-improving benefits of emotional cleansing, detoxing and stress management.

Sounds to Sleep – Vol 1 is a collection of 15 interesting soundscapes that are individual original creations, yet as a collective, produce a concept album that can be listened to for its own worth – as creative expressive atmospheric ‘background music’ that is non-intrusive, non-disturbing – ideal for ambient listening while working or resting; it can also be used as an aid to focusing on de-stressing the body and mind, moving into a state of deep relaxation and even restful sleep. Instrumentation is a careful and creative mix of Electric Guitar, Electric 'Sitar' Guitar, Tibetan/Nepalese Singing Bowls, Windchimes, Rain Stick, Synthesiser, Church Bells and natural atmospheres (flowing water, sea, wind, rain, thunder), with resonant frequencies. For maximum fidelity, calming and healing effects, the composer recommends listening with headphones or earbuds to ensure exposure to specific healing frequencies and subtle atmospheres.

The composer and producer, Peter Morley has a degree in Film Music composition and production, as well as qualifications in Music as Therapy (Nepalese Singing Bowls), and is an internationally-qualified Therapeutic Yoga and Meditation Teacher. Using all his learned knowledge, wisdom and experience in these fields of natural healing, as well as his academic training in specialist music that can influence our emotions, and experience in producing 50 albums over 25 years, Peter Morley has crafted an album that he is very proud of and personally endorses as calming, healing and therapeutic.

"It is the biggest and most ambitious project I have produced, and I consider this latest album to perhaps be my most important work so far in creating music and sound-scapes which are specifically designed as therapy. I present to you Sounds to Sleep – Vol 1 as my most accomplished work to date".

Sounds to Sleep – Vol 1 offers the listener Healing Frequencies and Binaural Beats – an aid to deep rest and sleep – in GAMMA, DELTA, 528Hz and other calm-inducing frequencies, as well as music compositional intervals, tone-centres and ancient Solfeggio frequencies and scales that promote release from tension and stress and embody the therapeutic applications to produce deep relaxation and sleep through brain/body vibrational resonance entrainment [the synchronisation of two or more vibrating, or oscillating systems – Physical, Biological or even Psychological Entrainment, where neurons synchronise their firing patterns to an external rhythmic pattern or vibratorial (oscillating) source, and thus produce a resonance-relationship effect. Entrainment is a fundamental principle where different systems synchronise their rhythms through interaction].

Experiments with 528Hz and other known ‘healing frequencies’ have shown that exposure to music at these frequencies significantly decreases Cortisol levels (the stress hormone), and increases the Oxytocin – the hormone associated with positive feelings, leading to overall stress reduction, as well as an effective aid in improving sleep quality and relaxation – calming, grounding, and soothing to both body and mind.

In addition to composing and producing Sounds to Sleep – Vol 1, Peter Morley also created the original painting and album cover artwork.
