about

SLEEPSTATES is the debut release by SONAMB, the new music project from Manchester sound artist Vicky Clarke, exploring machine addiction, broken radio transmissions and algorithmic sleep territories. The record takes the listener through a cycle of dream transmissions from the electrical imaginary, the techno - emotional states of slumber we experience between humans and machines.

Created over the past three years via networked locations, sonic states combine transmission recordings between Manchester, Berlin and St Petersburg and lockdown internet noise experiments, bringing together her processes of sound creation with DIY electronics, sound sculpture, musique concrete and machine learning. The record explores the sonic materiality of our technologies, the sanctity of sleep and ideas of autonomy and control as we meld into our machines, blurring conscious boundaries of our waking and networked selves.

The release is accompanied by SLEEPSTATES.NET, a net-art piece featuring music from the record.
