Sleepless Mind



There are two bands that go by this name: 1. Indie/alternative rock band from Connecticut active from 2014 until 2017 2. Richard Sudney was born in Detroit in 1978. As naturally curious individual he was drawn towards electronics and shortwave radio at an early age. It wasn’t until his late 20s and early 30s during college when he amid his curiosity to netlableism. “In a media like the internet where free thinking is the material of it’s construction, it’s a no brainier that netlableism exists in it”(Richard Sudney 2009). In 2005 Richard Sudney (a.k.a. Monopole now known as Telegraphy https://root.theworkpc.com/music/preview?img=http://www.last.fm/music/Telegraphy) started creating simple melodies on his computer by ways of using software based oscillators. As time went on, Monopole a self tough musician, got a hold of a children’s keyboard synthesizer at a flea market. At this time, being a student in college studying electronics, it was natural for Richard to make electronic devices, so he set out to make a audio processor which is to accompany that $30 key board. This processor can be heard in many of his compilations. At the present time Monopole is growing away from cheap synthesizers and leaning too sounds of short wave and field recordings made by him with a homemade field recording apparatus. “Micro samples of field recording that I made while roaming around abandon factory’s and houses in the Detroit area, are the next level of electronic music after the synthesizer and processor. It gives the impression of lofi but still maintains the electronic feel.” Read more on Last.fm. User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
