about

John Daniel is a composer who lives and works in Chicago, IL. In addition to curating the Afterhours Ltd. and Reserve Matinee CD-R and tape labels, John makes music as Forest Management, the rare ambient project whose remarkably prolific output remains exceptionally consist in quality. John's work evinces a fascination with the deepest of drones on the lower end of the sonic spectrum. Often working with loops from both analog and digital sources, Forest Management specializes in extracting haunting melodies and tones from beneath a mask of grainy textures.

On "Sleep To Dream", John uses a single song (the opening track from a beloved singer-songwriter's 1996 debut album) as source material, extracting 25 minutes of densely layered drone that oscillates between blissful warmth and brooding anxiety. "Sleep To Dream" is both a touching homage to the source material and a testament to John's extraordinary ability to incorporate sampled material into his signature sound.

"Really contemplative, really cozy...quietly whisks itself off into the unknown. I wish it had stuck around longer." -Tabs Out

"A hazy vibe of pleasantly lulling melodic noise, that's what basically this short tape is and somehow it makes every moment of it kind of special." - microphones in the trees!

we're all beside a wooded creek, laying on this silken mossy chord, listening as leaves tumble down in succession. the pond nearby catches each leaf and we sync our thoughts using the chain of ripples in the water. thanks a lot for this one. recommended for relaxation or when it just gets to be too much out there Ews Nsj
