About Insomnia

There are many musical acts called Insomnia: 1) Insomnia is a minimal dark ambient project, who has released 3 CD-Rs on Nothingness Records. This project has been discontinued, but its 3 albums, (forming a trilogy) are now available for streaming and download on Archive.org. 2) Insomnia is an experimental / electronic project: "1 of 27 Reasons to..." are 27 songs based on the Fruity Loops shareware. That was the first concept but then, Insomnia / Leon has changed his mind and some samples from computer games, classic music and movie soundtracks were added to the compositions. Finally, guitars and vocals were added (both recorded live). All the "reasons", despite various tempos, are trying to catch this "stuffy" and a little bit psychedelic touch. 3) Insomnia was a four-piece psychedelic / screamo band from Rīga, Latvia formed in year 2005.
