Time to Listen - by Peter van Cooten of Ambientblog

    Peter van Cooten runs the excellent Ambientblog website which has great reviews and, of course, wonderful mixes. Anytime Peter reaches out with a mix idea or a a set he'd like to cross-post on both of our platforms, I will always jump at the chance. As I said on Peter's last guest mix, his sets are different from mine in that they are more intricate. He does not use full tracks, instead opting for excerpts and samples piled on each other, sometimes 2, 3, or 4 tracks play simultaneously, to create a new sound collage. Here's what Peter says about this mix: "Apart from its opening sample – ‘It is time to stop seeing. It is time to stop speaking. It is time to listen’, from David Cronenberg’s Crimes Of the Future – this mix has no central theme or story. It’s up to you, the listener to take the time to listen and go with the flow. Let your fantasy tell you the story. And, after you did, I’d love to hear what you heard. This mix is created using many fragments and samples from longer pieces of music, often presented in multiple layers. Check the original compositions using the tracklist below." Here's a map of the mix, layer upon layer of the 31 tracks used in the collage.   Check out Peter's work here: https://www.ambientblog.net/blog/  He also does surround sound mixes, which you can find here: https://www.ambientblog.net/blog/the-surround-mix-versions/ And Peter is on Mixcloud - https://www.mixcloud.com/ambientblog/ Cheers!     T R A C K L I S T - Start time - Sample Length - Artist - Title Album - Year - Label   00:00 01:12  David Cronenberg - Time To Listen Sample Crimes Of The Future, 2022   00:04 03:35  Dronny Darko & Protou - Sin Eater Liberty: Compilation Of Experimental Music From Ukraine, 2022, Flaming Pines  02:28 02:42  William St. Hugh - Voice Of The Dolphins Dominion, 2022, self-released  04:31 02:16  Tapani Rinne & Teho Majamaki - Lucid Dream On The Border, 2022, Signature Dark  06:13 02:36  Ivan Cebrian & Victor Cerdan - Enemigo Intimo Inside // Outside, 2022, Oigovisiones  06:40 02:30  Park Jiha - At Dawn The Gleam, 2022, Glitterbeat  08:49 02:39  Benedicte Maurseth - Eidfyrder Hárr, 2022, Hubro  10:47 03:51  Bill Fontana - Imaginary Sonic Visions MSCTY Expo Unknown Pleasures Zone, 2022, MSCTY Editions  12:40 02:18  Alva Noto - Odradek (for Jhonn Balance) For, 2006, Line  13:31 01:50  Jacek & Ewa Doroszenko - Night Masque Bodyfulness, 2022, Audiobulb Records  14:17 02:27  Higher Intelligence Agency - The Black Patch Song Of The Machine, 2022, self-released  15:58 02:50  Siddhartha Barnhoorn - Final Ascension Out There, Oceans Of Time, vol. 1, 2022, self-released  18:27 02:24  Mike Lazarev - All That Remains When You Are, 2022, Slowcraft Recordings  20:27 03:17  Orghanon - Dronework V Droneworks I-V, 2022, St.An.Da  22:13 03:27  Aleksi Myllykoski ft Wimme - Composition VI: Inherently Destructive Contamination St. Virus, 2021, Signature Dark  24:37 04:13  Peter Phippen, Rahbi Crawford, Invar Lunde Jr. - Andromeda Galaxies, 2022, Projekt Records  28:46 02:30  Jóhann Jóhansson & Echo Collective - Shell 12 Conversations With Thilo Heinzmann, 2019, Deutsche Grammophon  29:46 05:29  Maggi Payne - Distant Thunder Arctic Winds, 2010, Innova Recordings  33:08 03:07  Leo Kupper - Litanea 1987 Complete Electronic & Voices Works 1961-1987, 2022, Sub Rosa  36:22 04:35  Monty Adkins - Remote Communion Remote Communion, 2020, Cronica  38:56 01:28  Laurie Anderson & Kronos Quartet - Thunder Continues In The Afternoon Landfall, 2018, Nonesuch  40:11 04:35  Cell - Passive Control Part 1 Onwards System, 2022, Ultimae Records  43:27 03:59  Alphaxone & Protou - Sub Signal Stardust, 2017, Cryo Chamber  45:51 03:03  Wil Bolton & Francis Gri - The Ripples Theory Imaginary Tales, 2022, Krysalisound  47:54 02:11  Xqui - Narrator Pieces Part 2, 2022, Somewherecold Records  48:45 03:57  Michel Banabila - Alienation Monochromes, 2022, Tapu Records  52:21 00:55  Stuart A.
