Soothing Music for Sleep

Tranquil, melodic and soothing music for sleep created by Australian Pianist and Composer Richard Goldsworthy.

As a teenager studying classical piano I fell in love with the music of piano composer Chopin, and in particular the gentle sound of his Nocturnes (literally meaning "night music"). I was given the Nocturne in A to learn as an examination piece and it quickly became a favorite. I purchased the entire album of his Nocturnes for piano and would often drift off to sleep at night with this soothing music playing softly in the background. I particularly loved the consistently tranquil mood it created, unlike most classical music which constantly changed tempo.

Years later, I realized how little music there was that set and maintained a gentle mood and the idea to create my own album in this vein grew into my album Firelight Moon. I now understand that music of a particular BPM (beats per minute) is able to alter the rhythm of our brain waves and move it first into an alpha and then even deeper theta state, conducive to deep relaxation or sleep. Many people with sleeping disorders find that when they go to bed, although their body may be desperately tired, their brain is still operating at 'beta' level, as it does in normal waking hours. The beauty of listening to sleep music is that it can change this state within minutes and help sleep to come much more easily. I also believe that the simplicity of just having one sound (the piano) also helps to soothe and unclutter the mind.

People also often ask me about the name, "Firelight Moon". I wanted to create music that felt warm and gentle (like firelight) but also embodied the night and a little bit of mystery (like the moon). So there we have Firelight Moon -- my album of "Nocturnes".
