The Sleeping Morning

Savvas Ysatis / Taylor Deupree - The Sleeping Morning

The Sleeping Morning was created during a week-long visit from Greece to the US. Ysatis and Deupree wanted to freely create and see what came naturally after a 10-year hiatus from working together in the studio. All of the instrumentation; acoustic guitar, autoharp, various bits of percussion, and analog synthesizers, were performed directly to multi-track with very little editing. They recorded much of the sound with microphones to capture roomtone which created a warm, organic and often playful mood. Loose drums, the squeak of a monosynth and lush pads from the Jupiter-8 make The Sleeping Morning appear at first as an experiment in micro- folk but when vocal tracks are added a whole new world of song- structure and post-something is created.
