Study Music · Kora & Liquid DnB · River Lights

Fishing boats going out as the sun sets — 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, insects and light rain, thunder far off. 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 Evening Tide below the Hills 3:05 Kapok Tree beneath the Lights 6:07 Pirogue in the Downpour 9:09 Afterglow into the Dark 12:08 Floodplain in Deep Channels 15:08 Harmattan on Calm Reaches 18:09 Sandbar by the Shore 21:06 Palm Shade before Nightfall 24:04 Riverbank on the Gambia 27:07 Fishing Nets at Dusk 30:09 Undertow near the Landing 33:10 Blue Hour down the Channel 36:14 Driftwood across the Delta 39:16 Lantern Glow after the Rain 42:17 Firelight near the Landing 45:19 Cloudbreak after Midnight 48:18 Humid Air beyond the Bend 51:21 Silt over Dusty Roads 54:19 Canoe Song against the Breeze 57:17 Long Shadows from the North 1:00:17 Laterite through the Reeds 1:03:17 Distant Thunder on the Gambia 1:06:14 Heat Haze past the Jetty 1:09:15 Ferry Horn from the North 1:12:17 Rainfront beside the Pier 1:15:19 Red Earth before Nightfall 1:18:20 Market Road under Heavy Clouds 1:21:20 Mangrove by the Shore 1:24:21 Old Bridge at First Light 1:27:23 Night Birds with the Flow 1:30:21 Evening Tide under Heavy Clouds 1:33:21 Kapok Tree along the Banks 1:36:22 Pirogue with the Flow 1:39:26 Afterglow at Dusk 1:42:25 Harmattan until Morning 1:45:25 Sandbar down the Channel 1:48:24 Palm Shade in the Downpour 1:51:24 Riverbank under Palms 1:54:19 Fishing Nets in the Quarter 1:57:22 Undertow on Calm Reaches 2:00:22 Blue Hour after Midnight 2:03:23 Driftwood at First Light 2:06:20 Lantern Glow over Dusty Roads 2:09:20 Cloudbreak between Cities 2:12:21 Humid Air between Cities 2:15:22 Slow Water toward the Sea 2:18:25 Silt in the Quarter 2:21:23 Canoe Song below the Hills 2:24:24 Long Shadows along the Banks 2:27:24 Laterite after the Rain 2:30:21 Distant Thunder beneath the Lights 2:33:20 Heat Haze into the Dark 2:36:20 Ferry Horn against the Breeze 2:39:19 Rainfront under Stars 2:42:22 Red Earth through the Reeds 2:45:23 Estuary past the Jetty 2:48:22 Market Road toward the Sea 2:51:25 Mangrove beside the Pier 2:54:22 Old Bridge until Morning 2:57:25 Night Birds beyond the Bend ▶ Full playlist:    • Mandé Current · Kora, Liquid Drum & Bass &...   ▶ Next in the series — River Never Stops:    • Deep Focus · Kora & Liquid DnB · River Nev...   About this music This is an original work created by Chilled Corner Productions using our own production toolchain, which may include AI-assisted tools.
