It was one of those days. Baby had been feeding for hours and wouldn't get settled. He was over-tired and crying. Jess had barely slept in the last couple of days and needed a break. She asked if I could look after things while she went for a walk.
So, with crying baby in one arm, I put on Ishi by M. Geddes Gendras; an hour of kaleidoscopic modular synth sounds. Almost instantly baby calmed down and started gazing into the middle distance. Within five minutes he was asleep. He stayed asleep until the music stopped, allowing Jess to go for her walk and then get some sleep as well. However, within seconds of the Ishi finishing, baby woke up and started crying. I quickly put the music back on and he instantly fell asleep again. This time I pressed "infinite repeat".
