Gathering Clouds

This must be one of the darkest mixes I have created until now. I recommend headphone listening for this mix, but also recommend to avoid late night listening - unless, of course, you know what to expect. The atmosphere is immediately set with the first notes, with a threatening (Boduf Songs) howl , and may even get downright frightening in the end climax. Yet, not all is dark and gloomy. In the middle section, there are also more optimistic sounds to enjoy, some more comfortable moments.  So: just let the Machinefabriek track ('Stroomtoon Eén'- about 4 minutes from the start) guide you downward to a lower consciousness level - "Inception" style - and from there let your imagination do the rest.... --- originally published on Ambientblog --- Playlist: [Start] [Sample Length] [Artist] - [Title][Album Title], [Year], [Label Details] 00:00 01:05 Boduf Songs - Howl to Capitulate Undone Hours (3x)Internal Memo, 2012, Morc Records MORC5900:25 02:02 Matthew Florianz - Kuilunused track for Los, 2011, selfreleased01:40 01:43 Shackleton - Music for the Quiet Hours Part 1Music for the Quiet Hours, 2012, Woe to the Septic Heart!
