Background
Dibb originally started raising funds for Sleep Cycle through a Kickstarter campaign in 2009. 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. Dibb's Kickstarter campaigned amassed 205 backers who pledged $25,985 to help bring the project to life. All the funds that were raised through the Kickstarter campaign were eventually donated to charity and the album was ultimately self-funded by Dibb.
