Slow, quiet music named for Sedona's red rock country
Vortex Echoes makes slow, quiet music for sleep, for calm, and for anxious dogs. It started with a love of Sedona, Arizona: red rock at dusk, the long quiet of Boynton Canyon, the view from Airport Mesa. Every record is named for a real place there.
The music is slow and beatless, with no sudden changes in volume, so it can run all night without pulling you back awake. The dog albums, Red Rock Rest and Home Alone Hours, follow the same rule: soft piano and strings, nothing that suddenly gets loud.
Bell Rock. The rounded butte beside the road into Sedona from the south. Bell Rock Overnight, our nine-hour album, is named for it.
Cathedral Rock. The twin spires above Oak Creek, best at sunset from the creek bed. The track "Cathedral Rift" and the nine-hour Cathedral Rock After Midnight session take their names from it.
Airport Mesa. A short climb with a view across the whole valley. "Airport Mesa Ascension" is named for it.
Boynton Canyon. A quiet canyon in west Sedona, with Sinagua cliff dwellings along the trail. "Boynton Echoes" is named for it.
Keep it low and let it run: at bedtime, while you work, or before you leave the house so your dog isn't alone in a silent room. The long albums and the eight- and nine-hour sessions on YouTube are made for exactly that.
Everything is free to stream on YouTube, Spotify and Apple Music. If you want the files, the albums are sold as lossless FLAC downloads in the shop.
A short note when a new album comes out, plus the free Sedona meditation guide. Nothing else.
