Fire Alarm at 3am

25 min

A sudden alarm at 3am can end in seconds while the body keeps ringing long afterwards. Stay beside the after-pulse, braced listening and stories of danger without forcing them away. As the room’s ordinary sounds return, let the startle’s tail loosen in its own time.

Deep, slow, spacious

Low, slow and spacious — a gentle cadence with long pauses, tuned for the dark and made to be drifted off to.
