This week we present the eighth edition in our annual “Slowly” series. This installment is inspired by a newborn star eruption in Orion. It is a collage of hushed, sometimes drowsy sounds. For this reason, the duration of the show will be uninterrupted by voice. For a satisfactory listening experience we recommend finding a comfortable pair of headphones or a nice stereo, and a quiet place. Playlist Download Luminous Dust
