In The Zone - April 2026 (Guido's Lounge Cafe) #116

In The Zone - April 2026 (Guido's Lounge Cafe) Hello dear friends, Guido van der Meulen here. There is something truly enchanting about this month's session. It has a mystical, almost magical feel to it, weaving together some of the most beautiful ambient and piano tracks I’ve had the pleasure of curating. I’ve worked particularly hard on some new presets for this show to ensure that "magical" quality translates into a wider, more immersive sound. As many of you know, mastering a full mix is a delicate art—finding the right setting for a whole 2 hours of music is a challenge, but I believe we’ve reached a safe harbor with this one. I hope you enjoy this well-varianted program as much as I enjoyed creating it. “Magic happens in the space where the piano meets the silence of the heart.” Check out: Intro - Dave Wise (Neoteric Wood Art) - Summer Twilight davewise.substack.com www.mixcloud.com/MST3K Kerani - Glass Between Us open.spotify.com/album/57XPnQR… Wayne Bethanis - Dream Of The Golden West open.spotify.com/album/7tqVXEC… Sine - Last Goodbye open.spotify.com/track/3OkI1uV… Michael Whalen - Love In Every Ending open.spotify.com/album/66JFFYQ… Brombaer - Exploring Forest Castle open.spotify.com/album/3F8XqFJ… Kerani - I am Light (orchestral version) open.spotify.com/album/5kUKvOO… David Wright - 12 O'clock (Live 2024) davidwrightmusic.bandcamp.com/… Michelle Qureshi - Astral Bridges open.spotify.com/prerelease/0K… Tanner Christian Gesek - Wave open.spotify.com/album/3ngCwte… Janice Lacy - Beside You open.spotify.com/track/6m6zKcm… Byron Metcalf & Billy Denk - Essential Peace open.spotify.com/album/0jmOvkB… Zorza - Attention Without Effort open.spotify.com/album/2s3gARs… Randal L Meek - Papaya Salad open.spotify.com/album/0R203DF… Forrest Smithson - Auramind open.spotify.com/album/56MIGMu… Trent Hanna - Peace Found open.spotify.com/album/7paP1af… Gina Lenee - Bloom open.spotify.com/artist/2IQZz5… Aureliaslight - Insight open.spotify.com/artist/7J2rIr… Bob Yonker - Contemplation open.spotify.com/artist/4KaoNj… 2002 - Bellehaven open.spotify.com/album/75cFvy3… Kristen Miller - Cornerstones open.spotify.com/album/5TvtiaM… Rudy Adrian - Serpentine River open.spotify.com/album/1b9WSEg… Quiet Resonance - The First Step open.spotify.com/album/7wYS6A3… Cass Anawaty - Altered Light open.spotify.com/artist/0kiQiS… Joshua Zimmerman - Beneath the Surface open.spotify.com/album/30EPNGv… Lynn Tredeau - Capture The Breeze’ open.spotify.com/album/408Qj8L… Terry Lee Nichols - Morning Glory open.spotify.com/album/0K88jAS… Robert Linton - Reaching the Field's Edge open.spotify.com/artist/5SOj6n… Outro - Dave Wise (Neoteric Wood Art) - Summer Twilight davewise.substack.com www.mixcloud.com/MST3K Cover art: GLC #GuidosLoungeCafe #InTheZone #AmbientMusic #ModernClassical #MysticalMusic #PianoSolos #AcousticChill #MichelleQureshi #Kerani #2002Music #GuidoVanDerMeulen #MusicStorytelling #NewMastering #StardustMelodies #Uplifted #Centered #Mixcloud #Spotify 00:00:00 Intro - Dave Wise (Neoteric Wood Art) - Summer Twilight 00:01:50 Kerani - Glass Between Us 00:04:43 Wayne Bethanis - Dream Of The Golden West 00:10:58 Sine - Last Goodbye 00:13:26 Michael Whalen - Love In Every Ending 00:18:16 Brombaer - Exploring Forest Castle 00:21:09 Kerani - I am Light (orchestral version) 00:24:55 David Wright - 12 O'clock (Live 2024) 00:31:24 Michelle Qureshi - Astral Bridges 00:35:44 Tanner Christian Gesek - Wave 00:38:08 Janice Lacy - Beside You 00:41:35 Byron Metcalf & Billy Denk - Essential Peace 00:47:34 Zorza - Attention Without Effort 00:51:02 Randal L Meek - Papaya Salad 00:54:13 Forrest Smithson - Auramind 01:01:21 Trent Hanna - Peace Found 01:04:24 Gina Lenee - Bloom 01:09:41 Aureliaslight - Insight 01:12:53 Bob Yonker - Contemplation 01:16:31 2002 - Bellehaven 01:19:37 Kristen Miller - Cornerstones 01:22:54 Rudy Adrian - Serpentine River 01:31:50 Quiet Resonance - The First Step 01:37:26 Cass Anawaty - Altered Light 01:41:42 Joshua Zimmerman - Beneath the Surface 01:45:12 Lynn Tredeau - Capture The Breeze’ 01:48:47 Terry Lee Nichols - Morning Glory 01:52:00 Robert Linton - Reaching the Field's Edge 01:57:27 Outro - Dave Wise (Neoteric Wood Art) - Summer Twilight
