For Ear Sake

Misel Quitno - Sleep Over Pieces Vol. 1 (2007)
Genres: Experimental, Glitch, Rhythmic Noise

Misel Quitno (better known as Dimlite) is the man behind the eclectic album Sleep Over Pieces Vol. 1. Mainly known for his detailed Hip Hop/Electronic production, Quitno bravely switched up his sound by creating an album he described as, "A score to an imaginary 1960 film." However, Misel Quitno's goal was to not only create a soundtrack for a fictitious film, but to pay homage to the birth of Electronic music as well.

Sleep Over Pieces Vol. 1 is a beautiful nightmare. The disarrayed production filled with eerie sounds and random touches of mellowness reminds me of a never-ending cycle of bad dreams followed by serenity. It's known that Quitno had a 1960 film in mind when making this album, but the type of film he envisioned was never discussed. I can't help but imagine all of the different types of films this album could musically portray. The music can represent anything from a horror film about an isolated mental institution, to a independent documentary similar to the film "Dark Days". All in all, there's nothing better than music that has the ability to awaken an inactive imagination, or enhance whatever atmosphere it infiltrates.

I recommend this album to anyone that enjoys calm music with an odd twist. Vinyl copies can be purchased through Discogs (click here), and digital copies are available on iTunes (click here). Also, the two tracks located below serves as an example of the dimness, as well as the calmness featured on the album. Enjoy!
