Study Music · Kora & Liquid DnB · Current at Dusk

Pirogues drifting home at sunset — 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 dusk underneath throughout, birds and insects settling. 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 Night Birds in the Quarter 3:05 Undertow after the Rain 6:05 Heat Haze against the Breeze 9:06 Firelight below the Hills 12:08 Humid Air under Stars 15:06 Afterglow through the Reeds 18:06 Distant Thunder down the Channel 21:07 Laterite under Palms 24:08 Pirogue beneath the Lights 27:09 Estuary from the North 30:09 Lantern Glow near the Landing 33:10 Market Road under Heavy Clouds 36:08 Canoe Song at Dusk 39:07 Blue Hour in the Downpour 42:02 Sandbar at First Light 45:03 Red Earth after Midnight 48:03 Driftwood toward the Sea 51:05 Long Shadows between Cities 54:04 Kapok Tree along the Banks 57:06 Floodplain with the Flow 1:00:04 Slow Water on Calm Reaches 1:03:04 Evening Tide near the Landing 1:06:05 Rainfront across the Delta 1:09:02 Fishing Nets before Nightfall 1:12:01 Harmattan before Nightfall 1:15:02 Ferry Horn at First Light 1:18:04 Silt through the Reeds 1:21:05 Old Bridge past the Jetty 1:24:06 Cloudbreak against the Breeze 1:27:07 Palm Shade by the Shore 1:30:08 Mangrove on Calm Reaches 1:33:09 Undertow in Deep Channels 1:36:11 Heat Haze beyond the Bend 1:39:11 Firelight toward the Sea 1:42:13 Humid Air past the Jetty 1:45:13 Afterglow along the Banks 1:48:14 Distant Thunder after Midnight 1:51:10 Laterite under Heavy Clouds 1:54:10 Pirogue on the Gambia 1:57:13 Estuary under Palms 2:00:11 Lantern Glow over Dusty Roads 2:03:11 Canoe Song by the Shore 2:06:13 Blue Hour down the Channel 2:09:11 Sandbar beside the Pier 2:12:10 Red Earth until Morning 2:15:10 Driftwood at Dusk 2:18:11 Long Shadows in the Quarter 2:21:10 Kapok Tree beneath the Lights 2:24:08 Floodplain beside the Pier 2:27:09 Riverbank from the North 2:30:09 Slow Water in Deep Channels 2:33:10 Evening Tide in the Downpour 2:36:10 Rainfront beyond the Bend 2:39:12 Fishing Nets under Stars 2:42:14 Harmattan on the Gambia 2:45:14 Ferry Horn until Morning 2:48:17 Silt below the Hills 2:51:20 Old Bridge into the Dark 2:54:15 Cloudbreak after the Rain 2:57:15 Palm Shade across the Delta ▶ Full playlist:    • Mandé Current · Kora, Liquid Drum & Bass &...   ▶ Next in the series — Rain Over the Gambia:    • Deep Focus · Kora & Liquid DnB · Rain Over...   About this music This is an original work created by Chilled Corner Productions using our own production toolchain, which may include AI-assisted tools.
