Edizioni Arlus® — Vol. Night
Music for people who are still awake.
Analogue soundscapes for sleepless nights, slow minds and rooms that are never completely silent.
01 — Silence
Some people fall asleep in perfect silence. Others need something else.
Sleeping With Us was created around this simple idea: sound can become part of a nighttime ritual.
Consistent broadband sounds such as white noise can help mask sudden environmental sounds that might otherwise attract attention during the night. Research has found promising results in some populations, although the overall evidence remains mixed and individual responses differ.
Source: Riedy, S. M. et al., “Noise as a sleep aid: A systematic review”, Sleep Medicine Reviews, 2021 — read the review. It concludes that the evidence is limited and of low quality.
The point is not to fight silence. It is to create a sound environment where the mind has somewhere gentle to go.
No miracles. No sleep hacks. Just sound, repetition and atmosphere.
02 — Why we like constant sound
A more predictable acoustic environment
White and broadband noise can reduce the contrast between background silence and sudden environmental sounds. Instead of every small sound emerging dramatically from silence, the room becomes acoustically more consistent.
Less attention for every little sound
Our brains continuously monitor the environment — even when we are trying to disengage from it. A stable sonic background may make unexpected sounds less salient for some listeners.
The brain loves associations
Hearing the same atmosphere repeatedly before sleep can become a personal cue connected with slowing down, switching off screens and ending the day.
This is music, not medicine. It is not a treatment for insomnia. If sleeplessness persists, talk to a professional.
03 — Can a cat help you sleep?
Sleeping next to a cat is objectively one of life's finest inventions. Science is still working on the "objectively" part.
There is something beautifully primitive about it. A warm animal beside you. A repetitive sound. A tiny living engine vibrating somewhere near your feet.
Human–animal interaction has been studied in relation to emotional and physiological responses, though the mechanisms — particularly with cats — remain complex and research is still developing. So we're not going to tell you that a purr is medicine.
We're simply saying what millions already know: a quiet room, a sleeping cat and the right record can feel ridiculously good.
04 — The sound
Sleeping With Us is not generated from relaxation presets. Its sonic identity begins with analogue machines.
Oscillators drifting slightly out of tune. Filters slowly opening and closing. Voltage behaving imperfectly. Long envelopes. Soft saturation. Noise. Harmonics. Repetition. Space.
The tiny instability of analogue electronics is part of the music. Instead of sterile sound, the tracks breathe, shift and evolve almost imperceptibly.
05 — The music
Headphones off. Lights off. Volume low.
The releases
Three albums, three kinds of night. Each one is a long, slow listen — start anywhere, keep the volume low.
For falling asleep slowly
10 tracks · Sep 2026
A slow morning by the water, heard from bed. Mist, reeds, a first bird, a current that never hurries. Soft analogue drones with the gentlest touch of nature — the most open and luminous of the three.
Start withBefore the River Wakes · Mist Above the Water · Where the River Slows
For company in the dark
16 tracks · Sep 2026
The record for nights when someone small is breathing next to you. Warm, low, close: purring textures, blankets, paws, a pillow for two. The longest and coziest of the three, and the one that pairs with Purr mode.
Start withCurl Up Beside Me · The First Gentle Purr · Floating into Sleep
For when the night feels alive
21 tracks · Sep 2026
The dark has company too: a forest full of friendly ghosts, watching eyes and a moon that never sets. Darker, deeper drones and slow footsteps in the mist — mysterious, never frightening, ending with "Sleep Without Moving".

06 — Thomas Piscaglia
Thomas Piscaglia is a multidisciplinary artist, music producer and creative experimenter working across electronic music, sound design, technology and visual culture. His practice is driven by curiosity rather than genre.
With Sleeping With Us, he explores one of the most intimate relationships we have with sound: the sounds we choose when nobody else is listening. The bedroom becomes a listening space, and the night an instrument.
07 — A greener night
Sleeping With Us is a net zero project: with the help of myco2.green, the greenhouse gas emissions of this project are calculated and offset down to zero.
The music is analogue, but the footprint isn't. Streaming, hosting, mastering, distribution — every step has an invisible cost for the planet. We measure it, and we neutralize it, so the night stays as clean as it sounds.
No greenhouse gas emissions. Just sound, repetition and atmosphere — carbon neutral.
The world is loud.
The night shouldn't have to be.
But complete silence can be loud too.
So we made something in between.
Sleeping With Us.
Still awake?
Good.
We made this for you.
