Counting Sheep is a work that illustrates the process of drifting into sleep. The composition starts with a serene and melodic introduction, evoking a peaceful bedtime setting. As the piece unfolds, the melodic variations convey a feeling of restlessness and unease, accurately portraying the sensation of tossing and turning. There's a lingering tension throughout the music, creating a sense of perpetual anticipation. As the composition nears its end, the music gradually softens, signifying the onset of sleep. The addition of antiphonal percussion, akin to binaural beats, produces a captivating oscillating effect, heightening the experience to mirror the increased brain activity accompanying the descent into slumber.
