Composer Sleeping Thunder releases new LP record “Soundtrack for a Science Fiction”


The composer known as Sleeping Thunder has released his latest LP album, “Soundtrack for a Science Fiction.” It comprises 14 original Sleeping Thunder instrumental tracks for a total listening time of one full hour. The record comes on the heels of his “Destination: There!” LP which appeared in fall of 2014, entrancing listeners and solidifying him as one of the modern era's most intriguing instrumental composers of independent music. Both albums have been proudly published on the Sleeping Thunder Creations music label outside the influence of the corporate music industry.

Sleeping Thunder has cited as main artistic influences some of the most seminal and uniquely creative bands ever to cut a record, including legends such as Synergy, Tangerine Dream, Hawkwind, and Pink Floyd. Where Sleeping Thunder's “Still Lost...” LP colored him as a wildly imaginative composer, “Soundtrack for a Science Fiction” moves still farther into unexplored realms of sonic experience, so that the album is a legitimate journey on its own, guiding listeners into worlds beyond just as if tales of adventure were actually playing out before them.

Asked to describe his inspiration for creating “Soundtrack for a Science Fiction,” Sleeping Thunder comments briefly, “I love space and sci-fi … I'd love for my music to feature in a TV or film production, or even at a planetarium.”

Sleeping Thunder's previous full-length records, “Destination: There!” and “Still Lost, in Thought” have snared the attention of hundreds of music fans at online music outlets such as Jango.com. “Soundtrack for a Science Fiction” being both more comprehensive and more stylistically focused than his freshman and sophomore releases, chances are excellent that Sleeping Thunder is about to find himself the object of a rapidly growing crew of loyal fans clamoring still loudly for more.

“Soundtrack for a Science Fiction” by Sleeping Thunder is available online worldwide. Producers in need of music for their current project, be it for cinema, TV, video games or indeed at a planetarium, should absolutely take note.

Sleeping Thunder releases new LP 'Still Lost, in Thought'


The instrumentalist and composer known as Sleeping Thunder has released his new LP music album, “Still Lost, in Thought.” The LP is a re-release of his fan favorite, “Lost, in Thought,” which has been garnering Sleeping Thunder avid new listeners since its original debut. Sleeping Thunder's dedicated fan base on Jango Radio approaches 200 and is steadily climbing. The album may be variously labeled as world music, new-age music, or even simply instrumental music, but its warm, raw, natural tones are likely to appeal to fans of virtually any genre or category.

Sleeping Thunder cites as main artistic influences the popular jazz legend, Paul Winter, the gurus of experimental and psychedelic rock, Tangerine Dream, and multi-instrumentalist and grammy-award-winning composer and performer, “Weird” Al Yankovic. While certain elements of creativity and ingenuity appear in the works of these artists and also in the multifarious sounds of “Still Lost, in Thought,” Sleeping Thunder's LP is a collection bearing great individuality and character, and cannot be described in derivations.

Asked to explain any inherent themes, motifs and messages in “Still Lost, in Thought,” Sleeping Thunder writes that “It's OK to be yourself. Explore. Even if you stumble and get a little scraped up, you could find something to make it worth the trouble.”

Much of the color and adventure of “Still Lost...” may be glimpsed by merely reading the names of the thirteen songs included on the LP: “Out on a Limb,” “Stormy,” “Have Faith,” “Midnight,” “Pyramids,” “King's Messenger,” “Blue Agate,” “Raptor,” “Damnit,” “Zombie Waltz,” “A Pond,” “T'kumasey,” and “Ta Dee.”

Sleeping Thunder's official bio describes him as a New-England-based artist inspired by hiking and kayaking trips. He plays keyboard, woodwind, recycled percussion, and uses real nature sounds. He also does photography and makes necklaces. His English and French family line can be traced to the Mayflower and to Jamestown, but interestingly includes no Native American heritage.

“Still Lost, in Thought” by Sleeping Thunder is available online worldwide beginning 15 July 2014.
