Was it all a dream? Did Sebastian Mullaert and Johanna Knutson perform an all night long sleep concert inside a medieval church in Amsterdam? What? This is an 8 hour long album release? Well... YES! You aren’t dreaming... or shall we say, just not yet. Keep reading.

Live At De Waalse Kerk 2019 is a recording from our sleep concert series Circle Of Live “In Dreams”, where all-night, improvised, live ambient performances explore the full range of mind states occurring between sleep and consciousness; a shared collective experience, a night of mutual dreaming.

Taking place in the spectacular 15th century architectural marvel that is De Waalse Kerk church, Johanna Knutsson and Sebastian Mullaert guided the audience through their dreams for 8 hours during regular sleeping times. By means of live improvisation, Johanna and Sebastian used the misty borderland between sleep and consciousness to their advantage, through expansive ambient soundscapes.

Can dreams be gently manipulated by a musical excursion through the unconscious landscape within? Can dreams be experienced collectively through a controlled collective experience? Will you float in a state of mind wondering whilst awake or enter a full on lucid dream? Or will you simply sleep like a baby?

We invite you to find your own answers, weave a dream alone or share the experience together with a friend… perhaps organise your very own pillow rave.
