Background
Dibb originally started raising funds for Sleep Cycle through a Kickstarter campaign in 2009.[4] Dibb intended to use the funds to perform at the Festival au Désert in Mali, Africa, the creation of a book and CD, and a charitable donation to Temedt, a Mali organization working to help enslaved black Tuareg people.[5] Dibb's Kickstarter campaigned amassed 205 backers who pledged $25,985 to help bring the project to life.[4] All the funds that were raised through the Kickstarter campaign were eventually donated to charity and the album was ultimately self-funded by Dibb.[6]
