Slaapwel records is a small record label specialized in music to
fall asleep to. Often I find myself lying awake in bed, not sleepy
enough to fall asleep, not lively enough to keep doing stuff. A few
years ago I made a record that would help me to fall asleep. It was
quite fun to do, and it even worked quite well. At least for a little
while. I figured it would be good if there was more music that soundtracks
the thin border between being asleep and lying awake, deliberately
choosing the sleepy side of things. So I set out, looking for people
that would be good at making mind-soothing songs. I ask them to write
a sleep-inducing record, I listen to it, and when I fail to reach
the end because I fell asleep, I release it as a musical record with
whatever means are available to me.
All artists are close or not-so-close friends (some even live on
the other hemisphere!), but still, somehow they are all connected.
I think they are very good at making "boring" music. This
is not an insult. I love their music to death and I think they are
all very capable of making wonderful sleep-inducing songs. If the
music were too interesting, you would not fall asleep. In any case;
don't make too much of it. It is all just good fun. Sleepy fun. We try to take extremely good care of the artwork. You'll be amazed at what's possible with a little creativity and some good old fashioned handcrafting.
To order any release; get in touch with [email protected] . I'll make sure you'll get it in the cheapest possible way. Belgium orders generally ask 2€ shipping, the world 3€. Or you can be lazy and use the paypal buttons, that is totally fine too.
