Music adapted from Sam Harris’s Meditative Story, "Finding happiness amid the ordinary collisions of life."

As the Sleep Song begins, you’ll hear a searching, questioning synth line playing over a wash of tones, resolving into a chorus of human voice. Smooth electronic sounds blend with curious woodwind, harp and pizzicato string passages that disperse, recombine and settle again. As the music evolves, the tones become quieter, rounder, and more contemplative — creating space for the opening passages to ripen and resolve themselves.

Original music from composer Ryan Holladay.
