The Decompression Zone - Stories to Relax & Sleep
Hello friends! I create original, calm narrations of sleep stories, designed to help you relax. I also read chapter books, all in the public domain, in a calm, relaxing male voice. The purpose of the Decompression Zone is to help you do just that: decompress and unwind. These softly spoken readings, will help you take your mind off the daily grind.
I have always enjoyed reading out loud, which was the impulse for this channel. I have lived in Europe and in the Americas. Therefore you will detect an accent in my speech. Although most of my readings are in English, I have also created some videos for German speaking listeners.
I am so glad you are here and hope you enjoy these readings!
Thank you!
Marcus
The Decompression Zone - Stories to Relax & Sleep
Hello friends! I am excited to announce the launch of my new channel, Gentle World - Relaxing Sights and Sounds. In addition to our bedtime stories, which will continue on this channel, this new channel features only the sounds of nature and of our environment. A babbling brook, the sound of a waterfall, the singing of birds or the hum of a night train ride. Whether you need background ambiance for work, meditation, sleep, or simply a quiet escape, this new channel is here to bring a little more calm into your everyday life. Here is the link to my "Gentle World" channel:

Hello friends!
In addition to the regular bedtime stories, I am reading chapter books and will be releasing them in their entirety when the reading and editing is complete. Of course, channel members have early access to all of this content.
Here are the books that I am working on, in the order in which they will be published:
“Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea”
“The Adventures of Tom Sawyer"
and
"What Katie Did".
In the meantime, I hope you will enjoy the regular bedtime readings. Best wishes, Marcus

Hello friends! Just a quick update: I am putting the finishing touches on the second installment of "The House at Pooh Corner" (Chapters 5-10). At over 2 hours in length, it has taken me some time to edit the narration, but we are almost there. I am aiming to release the video on Monday. Hope you have a wonderful and restful weekend, Marcus

The Decompression Zone - Stories to Relax & Sleep
I just love summer for it's plentiful supply of color and beauty. I think these blue ones are called "Godetia" (not entirely sure). I know, I have filmed them for us before, but dang, they are mesmerizing with their delicate petals. Perhaps just one more take with a different lens... 😊
New sleep story coming your way Monday 😉.

The Decompression Zone - Stories to Relax & Sleep
Hello friends, in my most recent video (A Tranquil Forest Walk) I expanded the introductory part, where we unwind and get ready for the story. Do you think a longer relaxation intro / guided meditation is a good thing? Or should the introduction be shorter and get straight to the story? Please let me know. I would love to know what you think. Thanks!

Of things to come....
Hello friends, and happy holiday season to all of you!
Just to update you, I have begun reading "The Great Gatsby" and will release several chapters at a time as I finish editing them (probably starting in January). In the meantime I will continue with Sleep Short Stories on a weekly basis.
Next week I will have for you a Christmas short story by Charles Dickens (not "A Christmas Carol"), to help set the mood for those of you who celebrate this feast.
Hope you find some peace and rest in this season. Till soon and Best Wishes, Marcus
