Slept In is a companion album to my 2020 release, " Slept On'. Its a collection of tracks with no percussion or drum elements, utilizing for the most part, analog synthesizers and live takes. Please listen when meditating, praying, walking mindfully or resting in general. It also is a great listen with headphones or any immersive listening environment. It can be played in random with its precursor, "Slept On", as they are both in the key of Eb. I hope this record brings peace and blessings to you. ~Michael Louis July, 2024
