Sleepbound Soundscapes Sleepbound Soundscapes · Ian & Alex Ambient sleep music for the nights when words feel like too much. Long, slow, atmospheric pieces — rain on canvas, a firelit stairwell, a sunlit forest floor, whale song in deep water. Most run eight hours, so they last the whole night without looping you awake. No narration. No drama. Just the room, the weather, and somewhere warm. More of it, ad-free, alongside our two story podcasts: → Join on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/c/SleepBound Just me and Ian and the writers. Recorded gently, for sleep. Sleepbound Nights Sleepbound Nights · Ian & Alex Original bedtime stories for grown-ups — cosy serial fiction, written and narrated by us, slow enough to fall asleep to. Quiet villages and kitchen tables: a toast maker on a Sunday, a bookshop cat who won't settle, a family farm in 1953, a garden almanac kept through the year. Low stakes on purpose — the worst thing that happens is a burnt pan. Each episode is a whole evening — four hours or so — so you can put it on, settle in, and not be woken by the end of it. Every series has its own writer: Eliza Hartley writes The Toast Maker, Margery Cole writes Green Hollow, Cecily Ash keeps the Elderwick Almanac.
