Slaapwel records is a small record label specialized in music to fall asleep to. Often I find myself lying
awake in bed, not sleepy enough to fall asleep, not alive enough to keep doing stuff. A few years ago I
made a record that would help me to fall asleep. It was quite fun to do, and it even worked quite well. At
least for a little while. I figured it would be good if there was more music that soundtracks the thin border
between being asleep and lying awake, deliberately choosing the sleepy side of things. So I set out, looking
for people that would be good at making mind-soothing songs. I ask them to write a sleep-inducing record,
I listen to it, and when I fail to reach the end because I fell asleep, I release it as a musical record with
whatever means are available to me.

All artists are close or not-so-close friends (some even live on the other hemisphere), but still, somehow
they are all connected. I think they are very good at making "boring" music. This is not an insult. I love their
music to death and I think they are all very capable of making wonderful sleep-inducing songs. If the music
were too interesting, you would not fall asleep. In any case; don't make too much of it. It is all just good fun.
Sleepy fun.

Wouter van Veldhoven is the artist behind the first slaapwel record. His tape-experiments provide the
listener with beautiful decaying sounds, bathing in a sweet swirling hiss.  I find those sounds and loops so
soothing and gentle that I easily close my eyes, wandering through a dreamlike universe before safely
falling asleep. I am very happy he made this wonderful record.

We try to take extremely good care of the artwork. An Vandesompele is the one who is responsible for all
drawings, lay-out, design and the love that is poured into each one of these lovely cd-cases. I think they
suit the music well and I am thankful she is helping me out so much.
