Allmusic link Piero Scaruffi 7.5/10 link Robert Rich chronology Humidity (2000) Somnium (2001) Bestiary (2001) Somnium (2001) is an album by the American ambient musician Robert Rich. It is a seven-hour album on a DVD-video and is based on Rich’s sleep concert series of the early 1980’s. Like those concerts, the music on this album was composed to influence the dreams and pre-REM hypnogogic visions of the listener. For this purpose it is suggested that the volume be kept down to the threshold of perceptibility, ideally with speakers surrounding the listener’s bed. Rich also recommends this album for conventional listening. For a brief period at the beginning of the album there is a slightly more active texture while the listener adjusts the volume and settles down to sleep. As the music progresses it slowly drifts through a variety of electronic drones as well as acoustic source material and nature recordings. The third and final track gradually fades into a morning atmosphere filled with bird songs. In order to allow for the album's seven-hour length it was released on the DVD-video format instead of DVD-Audio. Rich also wanted to avoid the digital artifacts caused by compression. To achieve this the frames of video that a DVD player uses to navigate inside a chapter were not included. In spite of this, the second track had to be compressed using Dolby AC-3 encoding in order to maintain the album’s length. It has been estimated that this is the longest single piece of music ever committed to a commercially recorded format.[citation needed] Track listing "Part 1" – 155:00 (2:35:00) "Part 2" – 119:57 (1:59:57) "Part 3" – 144:54 (2:24:54) External links Album feature from Robert Rich's official Web site
