Winter Solstice 5
from Ambientblog Mixes · host Peter van Cooten for Ambientblog.net
My 2-hour contribution to the fifth edition of the 8-hour Winter Solstice broadcast on Concertzender Nederland. For this fifth Winter Solstice mix, I chose fragments (most of them heavily edited) that are all more or less in the same key. In the first hour all tracks are in B-minor, in the second hour the tracks are in F-minor (first half) and A-minor (closing half). These chords define the overall atmosphere: from 'solitary, melancholic' to 'obscure, funereal', and finally 'tender, soothing'. At least, that's what the theory says. In the end, it's the listener that associates his emotions with the soundscapes. But one thing is clear: these two hours definitely fit the darkest and longest of nights.
