when i sleep
by cher engmann
when i sleep is a sound piece composed of field recordings capturing what I hear when I sleep, alongside recordings of me reading from my dream journal. This sonic reconstruction of my sleeping brain explores dreams as a site of discernment, where I attempt to interpret signs, whether they emerge from ancestors, subconscious desire, or are shaped by community.
