Three hours of calm music from the world of Celtic myth, made to help you fall asleep and stay asleep through the whole night. A bonus for the quiet nights, the same music playing tonight on our live sleep stream, three hours with no talking at all.
Tonight is a candlelit hall on a western coast in the last nights of October, the sea on the rocks somewhere below and the old year turning toward Samhain, carried in one long piece that returns in a darker, slower form, so the music keeps drifting instead of looping every few minutes. The music belongs to Cerridwen, the Welsh keeper of the cauldron of wisdom.
The music is original to the show, made with AI music tools and mixed for sleep: no melody that swells, no percussion, nothing sudden.
If it helps you sleep, follow the show so each new story and each new night of music arrives on its own, and leave a rating on Apple Podcasts so other people can find it.
