"atom 11" by Sleeping At Last
Welcome to “atoms”: tiny pieces of music inspired by tiny and beautiful things! When I see something beautiful, I’ll film it, then write a short piece of new music for that moment. Tiny film scores, if you will. Basically, I want to musically follow Mary Oliver’s beautiful “instructions for living a life: pay attention. be astonished. tell about it.”
Each “atom” song and video is/will be roughly 1 minute in length, which compliments our social media digital worlds (and short attention spans) and will be released spontaneously! First as posts on Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, etc. Shortly after, each “atom” will be widely available on Spotify, Apple Music, etc.
In the same way that seeing something beautiful in the middle of my day feels kind of like an oasis, a tiny chance to catch my breath, the hope for “atoms” is to offer up that same meditative feeling in your Insta timeline or TikTok feed, or in the middle of your next “doom scroll” ..or when you’re way deep down a YouTube rabbit hole.
Because real-life atoms become molecules, once a handful of my “atoms” are released into the wild, I’ll do occasional “Molecule Sessions”, in which I will choose a few “atoms” (perhaps with your help?!) and expand on them, transforming them into something different! I’m very excited about what these tiny pieces of music may become!
“atom 11” is set to close up video of a colorful mocktail through the glass. "atom 11" is siblings with "atom 10", as together they make up a music-palindrome of sorts!
