About Nap Party
Nap Party invites listeners to curl up in a blanket and settle into an imaginative state while they co-create one-of-a-kind songs without words, decorated with the soothing textures of violin, viola, accordion, guitar, tongue drum, and voices. Nap Party celebrates slowness, gentle presence, and the swirling emergence of improvisation, where each moment requires our care and attention to ourselves, each other, and the world around us.
