Séance of Sleep II – La lévitation de Shéhérazade
This LIMITED EDITION multi-colored Vinyl LP with Art Print and Digital Download is now AVAILABLE here in our SHOP or at BANDCAMP.
Embark on the new chapter of David Wunder Brägger’s dreamy ambient “Séance of Sleep” cycle. Drawing on decades of musical studies (archaic Appalachian fiddle and banjo music, Indian classical music, microtonality, early electro-acoustic music) and a diverse group of collaborations (Indian street magicians, Bad Religion’s Greg Graffin, Mike Watt & Tim Kerr, Todd Barton, Dom Flemons, Bruce Molsky, Fred Armisen, Social Distortion, Spencer & Rains, Hog-eyed Man), David has woven together an analog-driven, folktronic “séance” of sounds via his meticulously-assembled electronic instrument creations.
Through David’s musical sleight-of-hand, circuit boards, looping oscillators, droning fiddles, and hypnotic organs, the listener will transform into a sonic somnambulist. The music is epic, meditative, haunting and wondrously minimalist.
In addition to the mesmerizing multi-colored vinyl, the physical album features the collage work of outlier folk artist Howard Rains whose work has graced countless album covers for Tiki Parlour Recordings. Each physical album also comes with a double-sided print of Rains’ surreal collage art.
——VINYL ORDERS for this album are AVAILABLE here in our SHOP or at BANDCAMP——
“A both-feet leap into the lands of analog synth-dom, but I keep thinking I hear strings! There’s something in the attack, the placement, just the tones that are conjured — it’s a fully realized and imposing, often galloping, sound world that is conjured here, with a musical mind that shines through.”
—Mike Gangloff (Pelt, Black Twig Pickers)
David Wunder Brägger turns folk memory, analogue circuitry and microtonal drift into a slow‑burning dream ritual. Droning fiddles, handmade electronics, metallophones and vintage organs rise together, making an ambient record that feels at once archaic, futuristic and gently unmoored from waking time.
—Soundohm
Cinematic, epic, hearts of space Dreamtime!
-Todd Barton (Modular synth legend)
“A fantastic journey, jam-packed with compositions only a lifelong multi-instrumentalist could produce.” — Modular World

Reserve your PRE-ORDER of the debut album by The Lost Keys. (Release Date: JULY 3, 2026)
The Spencer family moved from Kentucky to Douglas County, Kansas in 1857
and has been making music here for generations. Through the years, the family got
together weekly to play old-time fiddle tunes and sing old country songs. The music
wasn’t categorized, it was just played… happily. Six generations later, that’s what the
Spencer family is still doing today and that’s what you have on this record.
The Lost Keys are a family band, but mostly we’re a family. We make music together
because we love being together and making this album with our kids has been a great
joy. Howard and I are grateful we are able to continue the tradition of making music
with them. This is a snapshot of a moment in time, recorded at home after a big
breakfast with our family gathered around two simple microphones.
Some of this music we’ve been playing most of our lives, some of it we picked up
from friends and mentors, all of it is the music of our home. It’s the music you might
hear coming from our back porch.
Thank you parents and grandparents for carrying on these traditions and sharing them
with us. Thank you Josie, our oldest, who is not featured on this record but is also a
player and works behind the scenes to help keep us organized. Thank you listeners
for supporting us. Thank you lucky stars for bringing Howard and me together. Most
of all, thank you kids for bringing art, music, creativity, and love into a world where
those things are often lost.
–Tricia Spencer
The official release date is April 10th, 2026. You can PRE-ORDER their fantastic album now!

Cookhouse is Sophie Enloe on fiddle, Maggie Lind on banjo, and Patrick Lind on guitar, a Portland, Oregon trio devoted to the old time string band tradition. The trio’s sound grows out of Portland’s long-standing old time music scene, home to influential groups like Foghorn Stringband and the Horsenecks. In this community, dance tunes, late-night sessions, and a strong musical culture have shaped generations of musicians.
The three met in 2002, when Sophie was still in high school, and have spent over twenty years playing knee-to-knee in jams, dances, festivals, and living rooms. In 2007, they founded the Portland String Band Class, which has helped hundreds of musicians learn tunes by ear and build community around old time music.
Their debut album, Lately Tuned, captures that long friendship in sound, offering a mix of traditional tunes, songs, and original compositions with the ease and warmth of musicians who have been making music together for a very long time.
I’m really excited to play at The Hotel Cafe in Hollywood with these lovely musicians this Friday (Feb 27th)!
Tula and Destinie are also students of mine. So it’s a deluxe honor for us to perform tunes together by Joe & Odell Thompson, Gribble, Lusk & York, and Alonzo Janes at Destinie’s album release show!

Hopefully see you there! — David
