Field notes: Quiet instrumentals for long autumn nights

The last playlist in the guide is the quietest. Fall nights come early and stay late, and by November you will spend more of the evening in the dark than in the light. This list is for that time: hushed pads, slow pulses, a few notes that float.

It draws from Sleep Tight and the late-night City Nights records. The volume stays low, and the tempo slows as it goes, so it is easy to drift off. Use the sleep timer in the player bar to fade it out after 15 to 60 minutes.

If you stay awake, it also makes a lovely reading soundtrack. Nothing here asks for your attention. It just keeps the room soft.
