Study Music · Kora & Liquid DnB · Water Between Cities

An old pirogue facing the city lights across the water — three hours of kora and liquid dnb for focus, study, reading and late nights. Built as one journey rather than a pool of tracks. Every piece opens on the kora alone before the breakbeats grow in around it; across three hours the arc runs from the source through the river moving, a jungle current and still water, back to full flow and home to the kora. The river at night underneath throughout, insects in the dark. Headphones are best. Set the level so the erhu sits just under conversation volume and leave it there; the quiet stretches are meant to be quiet. ⏱ Tracklist 0:00 Sandbar beneath the Lights 3:02 Market Road on Calm Reaches 6:02 Cloudbreak until Morning 9:03 Old Bridge until Morning 12:06 Slow Water on the Gambia 15:05 Pirogue after the Rain 18:06 Fishing Nets with the Flow 21:08 Night Birds between Cities 24:08 Blue Hour across the Delta 27:09 Distant Thunder after the Rain 30:09 Afterglow through the Reeds 33:12 Lantern Glow along the Banks 36:13 Palm Shade before Nightfall 39:15 Rainfront below the Hills 42:18 Ferry Horn beside the Pier 45:20 Red Earth from the North 48:22 Undertow in the Quarter 51:22 Laterite under Heavy Clouds 54:23 Mangrove into the Dark 57:26 Silt with the Flow 1:00:28 Evening Tide across the Delta 1:03:30 Heat Haze beyond the Bend 1:06:32 Long Shadows under Stars 1:09:32 Kapok Tree over Dusty Roads 1:12:32 Firelight on the Gambia 1:15:34 Riverbank after Midnight 1:18:36 Canoe Song from the North 1:21:33 Driftwood down the Channel 1:24:32 Floodplain past the Jetty 1:27:33 Harmattan under Palms 1:30:34 Sandbar against the Breeze 1:33:32 Market Road down the Channel 1:36:36 Cloudbreak under Heavy Clouds 1:39:36 Old Bridge at First Light 1:42:34 Pirogue in Deep Channels 1:45:35 Fishing Nets at First Light 1:48:36 Night Birds near the Landing 1:51:37 Blue Hour into the Dark 1:54:37 Distant Thunder beyond the Bend 1:57:37 Afterglow in the Downpour 2:00:39 Lantern Glow over Dusty Roads 2:03:42 Palm Shade along the Banks 2:06:46 Rainfront at Dusk 2:09:46 Red Earth at Dusk 2:12:48 Undertow beneath the Lights 2:15:49 Humid Air near the Landing 2:18:50 Laterite in the Downpour 2:21:47 Mangrove under Palms 2:24:46 Silt by the Shore 2:27:49 Evening Tide past the Jetty 2:30:49 Heat Haze against the Breeze 2:33:48 Long Shadows below the Hills 2:36:49 Kapok Tree under Stars 2:39:51 Firelight between Cities 2:42:53 Riverbank through the Reeds 2:45:53 Estuary toward the Sea 2:48:53 Canoe Song in the Quarter 2:51:49 Driftwood beside the Pier 2:54:50 Floodplain before Nightfall 2:57:54 Harmattan toward the Sea ▶ Full playlist:    • Mandé Current · Kora, Liquid Drum & Bass &...   ▶ Next in the series — The Long Flow:    • Deep Focus · Kora & Liquid DnB · The Long ...   About this music This is an original work created by Chilled Corner Productions using our own production toolchain, which may include AI-assisted tools.
