Ghosts of the Future

At the end of May I posted an excellent mix from Mike G of the Ambient Music Guide.  We agreed to do guest mixes for each other and that the starting point would be a title that each of us would give the other.  We sent each other a few title ideas, we each chose one and got to work. Mike chose "Lapse into Reverie" and the result was his beautiful mix that you can find here... http://lowlightmixes.blogspot.com/2015/05/lapse-into-reverie-complied-mixed-by.html And here... https://www.mixcloud.com/lowlight/lapse-into-reverie-compiled-mixed-by-mike-g-of-ambient-music-guide/ Mike gave me about 4 or 5 title ideas and my attention was immediately drawn to one in particular... "Ghosts of the Future." The first thing that comes to mind is the film "Interstellar", which I had just re-watched right before this project.  With its time dilation and Murph's "ghost" communicating from the future, the soundtrack is the perfect launching point for this mix.  I like soundtracks but Hans Zimmer usually isn't a favorite.  However with this film he strikes a perfect balance.  At times the music has a Philip Glass feel to it. I also thought of snippets of voices as ghosts and so I worked in some spoken word excerpts here & there, as well as using tracks that had voices or vocoder. Overall I hope the mix conveys a strange, otherworldly feel to it. Thanks again to Mike G for doing the mix swap with me and thanks for a great mix title.
