Ambientblog Mixes

For the 7th year, the Dutch radio station Concertzender schedules an 8-hour ambient all-nighter on the night of the Winter Solstice (December 21, 2025). Compiled by four radio producers – Roel Janssen, Harrold Roeland, Bob Rusche, and myself – each of us presenting a two-hour selection. My contribution is closing the night, between 5am and 7 am. I’m not sure how many listeners will make it to the last part of the eight hours. That’s the reason I also post my contribution here as part of the Ambientblog Mix series. This mix is NOT intended to help you sleep! On the contrary, I hope it’ll help you stay awake for a bit, or maybe induce some interesting hallucinating moments in your half-sleep. A two-hour trip through many different soundscapes: sometimes comforting, sometimes nót so comforting, and sometimes confusing.

After publishing many ambient mix-collages (87 and counting!), I decided to challenge myself. What if I combined ambient soundscapes and classical music? Would that work out? This proved to be more difficult than I expected. It proved to be much easier to combine abstract atmospheric music than ambient music with 'program music' like classical. It proved even more difficult when choosing from 'classical classical' music such as baroque music, polyphonic choir music, or music from the absolute giants (Bach, Beethoven, Mozart, etc.). Maybe because I definitely wanted to retain an introspective atmosphere, but also include some 'tension - release dynamics' to avoid the mix becoming too 'easy listening'.With only two exceptions, the 'classical' fragments come from contemporary composers. Also, this mix features fewer layers playing simultaneously (compared to my previous mixes). In that respect, this is more like a 'mix-tape' than a 'collage'. All titles used in this mix are fragments, only small parts of the original compositions. So: if you hear something you like (and I hope you do), please check out the original.

The Winter Solstice Ambient Night on Concertzender Nederland has become a yearly tradition: this is the sixth edition already of the 8-hour ambient music night presented by four of their radio show hosts. Like in all previous editions, I'm honored to close the night with a two-hour collage. My contribution is presented here, but for those interested, the complete night will remain available on demand from the Concertzender Nederland website. Other than you might expect, this mix is not intended to make you sleep. On the contrary, the challenge is to keep you awake in these last two hours of this ambient music night. Which will probably be quite hard if you're listening in real time. As usual, only very few tracks are played in full here. Most are fragments, sometimes samples, taken from much longer pieces (which you can check out using the list below). This time, the overall key of this mix is E minor. For a detailed tracklisting and more info (including a surround version), visit 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.

Could this be ‘the saddest mix of all time’? I don’t think so myself, I would rather call it melancholic – in a pleasant way. But it’s a fact that all of these tracks are in D minor (Dm), which is said to be ‘the saddest chord’:“The D minor chord (often written as Dm) is a chord that evokes a sense of melancholy and contemplation on the negative side of situations. Like many other minor chords, Dm can create a heavy, serious atmosphere — and sometimes even creates an almost otherworldly sense of drama.” For a detailed tracklisting and more info (including a surround version), visit: https://www.ambientblog.net/?p=28862

This is my contribution to the fourth ambient night on Concertzender Nederland, which is traditionally scheduled on or around midwinter solstice. It was broadcast from 5:00-7:00 AM on December 25, and closed the 8-hour night. As in all of my (Ambientblog) mixes, Winter Solstice 4 is a collage created from (short) fragments - hence the extended tracklist below. This time, I used a different method of selecting tracks: I chose only tracks in the key of C. (Or, to be honest: the tracks that my software told me were in C - I have no absolute hearing). It's quite a hallucinating two-hour trip to dive deep into. I hope you enjoy listening! And of course: feedback is always appreciated.

Most (if not all) previous Ambientblog mixes always had some dark moments in them, they are never 'just' relaxing. You can only feel release if you also felt tension. This time, I wanted to avoid the darkness and create a 'lighter mood mix'. Not of the 'Ibiza Chillout Lounge' kind, but one that can be played in the background and is still exciting enough to listen to. I hope I succeeded, but of course, you're the one to decide about that!With two hours, Cloudwatching is longer than usual. Only a few tracks are included in their full length, but most are heavily edited or even just short fragments. Also, they are often overlayed, so you'll hear the music in a different context. The extensive playlist below may help you track down the original in their full-length versions. I really hope you'll enjoy watching these -imaginary- clouds!

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 for radio broadcast between 5-7 am, but it is not intended to induce sleep: it is way too 'active' for that. I created this with the intention to manipulate your dreams when you're asleep or half-awake at the time of the broadcast. In that case, it shouldn't be played too loud or you'll probably not be able to sleep at all. When listening on-demand, at different times, sleep is not an issue. Just enjoy the ride and let the sequence guide you. But be sure to sit back, relax, and forget about time. Winter Solstice 3 is created from bits, pieces, samples, and short fragments of music that deserve to be explored in its full original form; only very few tracks are represented in their full original length. note: first time is start time, second time is fragment length Part 1: 05:00 - 06:00 00:00 06:40 Loren Nerell - Last GamelanThe Gong Prophet, 2021, Soundquest Music05:08 06:08 Erik Levander - MassaJöker, 2021, Glacial Movements Records09:54 03:31 Alva Noto - Hybr:ID Oval BlackholeHYbr:ID I, 2021, Noton12:39 02:30 Slim Vic - Ebenist (Part 1)Mörkrets Narr, Lamour Recordsa14:51 02:26 Lustmord & Karin Park - PerihelionAlter, 2021, Pelagic Records16:34 02:26 Hans Zimmer - Bene GesseritDune OST, 2021, WaterTower Music18:05 02:43 Clarice Jensen - The DevilIdentifying Features, 2021, FatCat Records18:06 01:54 Scanner - Drones Places 01Earthbound Transmissions, 2021, Room4018:22 01:40 John Luther Adams - Arctic Dreams 7.

Just imagine yourself sitting in a local bar at the end of the day. A bit tired, your head full of thoughts. The murmuration of the people around you slowly gets blurry as you drift off. Your thoughts begin to wander, memories are mixed with fantasies and places you never even visited. Until now. Ambient Daydream tells a story created with myNoise.net generators. I hope that it serves as an introduction to the site itself: because the réal power of myNoise is that you can adjust it to what works best for you.

This mix is simply named after the podcast itself: SoundWave. It is a happy coincidence that it literally starts with 'waves' - sonically manipulated by Jos Smolders - and ends with the same waves morphing into the sound of a cheering crowd. Different kinds of soundwaves are all around us, every moment. Sometimes we're aware, most of the time we are not. This mix (hopefully) shows that it can be rewarding to take a moment's rest to really listen and let the sounds affect you.

Music For Long Winter Nights This is my 2-hour contribution to the (7-hour) ambient music night on Concertzender Nederland radio, which was broadcast in the December 19-20 night. When compiling this set, I tried to keep in mind that this was intended to be listened to in the deepest and darkest of the night. But it is not a 'sleep set', due to the variety of moods and atmospheres. It's a celebration of the dark of night that can be enjoyed at any time - every time you're in the mood for a moment (or 2 hours) of unhurried immersiveness.

When I first heard Christine Ott's Comma, I felt that this piece should be the starting point of a new mix. In the end, it became the final piece of the same mix - somewhat a movie's intro and end credits.I did not start this mix with a specific theme in mind. Its title only occurred to me after it was completed because it reflected its mood: a somewhat melancholy journey that fits the end of this remarkable year.

I'm very honoured to present this collaboration mix with Dave Michuda from Low Light Mixes, who has been a source of inspiration from the very beginning of Ambientblog.net. When we talked (or rather: mailed, since Wisconsin and Holland are not exactly near) about creating a mix together, we chose not to go for a 'simple' back-to-back exchange but gave ourselves an objective without knowing where this would lead to:5 minutes each turn. Start with a 5minute track, increase the sample count each turn (next turn 2, next turn 3, next turn 4…) until we reach 60 minutes… (last 5 minutes contain 6 samples each turn). See what happens.

If you listen back, most of my mixes have a rather dark edge to them. There's always a lot of 'tension/release' - but in this case, it seems there's a bit more 'tension' than 'release'. Sign of the times, probably…I tried to find another name (and image) for this mix, but it seems that only one title remained appropriate at this time.I'm very proud that this mix is also published on Dave Michuda's great Low Light Mixes blog.

A two-hour mix for the longest night: Winter Solstice. To be played (and hopefully enjoyed) in the deepest darkness. "Dream All The Dark Away" ... --- originally published on Ambientblog --- December 21 is the longest night in the Northern hemisphere. It marks the start of Winter (even though it is also called "Midwinter"), but gradually the nights will slowly get shorter as to indicate spring will be coming, eventually. For the 2019 Winter Solstice, Dutch Radio station Concertzender Nederland programmed an 8-hour ambient music special from 23:00 until 07:00 (11pm to 7am). That's a good night's sleep for most people! My contribution was scheduled to close the night: from 05:00 to 07:00 (5am to 7am). For the context of this ambient night, I created a mix that is somewhat different from most Ambientblog.net mixes - after all, this was intended to be broadcast in the deepest hours of the darkest night of the year. So this one is more drone-oriented for the most part, slower, less 'dynamic' and less 'intense'.

The mix title, Radical Candor, comes from the (management) philosophy that argues that feedback (on behaviour) is most effective if it is 'challenging' but at the same time shows that you 'care'. I felt there was a resemblance: the mix is 'caring' at times but can also be quite 'challenging' to the listener. At least, that was my intention. Now you decide. --- originally published on Ambientblog --- A word of warning first. This is not an ambient mix intended to relax or create a calm atmosphere. Also, it is not a showcase with full album tracks. It is a 'create-your-own-movie' soundtrack with some rather intense climaxes.And 42 track fragments in less than one hour - almost none of those in full length: all tracks are cut-up, fragmented, edited, layered and re-assembled (but never altered sonically) - like creating a collage from torn pictures.

"For me, personally, a mix has the most impact when it feels like I'm watching a movie. With ups, downs, some drama, sentiment, moment of joy, climax and anticlimax. And yes: tension and release." --- originally published on Ambientblog --- When I started working on this mix, its working title was Wonderlust, simply because I liked that word: a variation on wanderlust ('a desire to travel') which the Urban Dictionary describes as 'the desire to be in a constant state of wonder'.But as the mix progressed, the title didn't fit very well. There were too many dark and unsettling moments... moment that may evoke their own 'state of wonder' but of a completely different kind. The Questions in Anja Garbarek's track are crucial to this mix and gave it its title: a few simple questions to diagnose severe psychotic disorders, a delusional state of mind. There may be quite a few of these delusional moments in this mix, but they are alternated with moments of joy in an almost melodramatical equilibrium.

Headphone Commute, Ambientblog and Slowcraft Records are proud to present a unique mix by a colleague and partner in crime, Peter van Cooten, of beautiful works from a beautiful couple: James Murray and Anne Garner --- originally published on Ambientblog --- The inspiration for this mix came after attending separate performances of James Murray and Anne Garner.The music they perform is quite different: James exploring various kinds of abstract experimental electronic soundscapes, Anne performing her poetic emotional songs blending jazz, alternative pop, folk,  spectral lullabies and tender neo-classical arrangements.As different as their output may be, it still fits together very well - which is no real surprise knowing that Anne & James are a couple living together, and James produces and contributes towards  Anne's music.I wanted to find out how it would work out when mixing some tracks from their past and recent albums together.And I found out it works very well, as you can hear yourself in this mix. It also shows that, if the ingredients match, 0ne plus one can be much more than two!

A collaboration mix with Headphone Commute's Mike Lazarev, in which we take five minutes for each turn without knowing the others tracklist. The result: Bipolar! --- originally published on Ambientblog --- We had no clear concept for this mix when we started, other than 'each turn takes 5 minutes, we'll stop at 60, and we'll see where it gets us'. We were unaware of each other's tracklist (apart from what our ears told us). The result is a thrilling ride, where each part is a reaction to the previous section.Not exactly what we'd call an 'ambient' mix, because it's extremely dynamic. Sections may range from deep sleep sections to exuberant enthusiasm - hence 'Bipolar'.It's like a full life's story comprised in one hour.

The moment I heard Rami Malek whisper "Mind awake, body asleep" (Mr Robot, series 2) I knew this would be the inspiration for a new mix. A mix about half-sleep, lucid dreaming impressions... ungraspable images... and about "letting go". After all, Mr. Robot's tagline was "Control is an Illusion". Control proved to be an illusion indeed, with these different, unrelated, fragments coming together like pieces of a puzzle, creating a mix "like its own cinematic score."

"Life can only be remembered backwards, but it must be lived forwards." The central piece provides the title for this mix: Solace - "Comfort in sorrow, misfortune. Consolation." This Fovea Hex track literally breathes consolation in every single note, so it seemed a good starting point for this mix. It is also one of the few tracks in the mix that are included in its full length. Even though there are quite some dark moments in this mix, I hope it may bring some 'solace' - if needed. (If not needed: even better...! It still can be nice to feel a bit melancholic for a while, can't it?) --- originally published on Ambientblog --- Playlist start time - sample length - Artist - TitleAlbum Title, Year, Label Details 00:00 01:02 Radiohead - DaydreamingA Moon Shaped Pool, 2016, XL Recordings XLDA79000:22 02:32 Ryuichi Sakamoto - The Revenant Main ThemeThe Revenant Soundtrack, 2016, Milan 399 758-201:20 03:52 Northaunt - Extinction EventIstid I-II, 2015, Cyclic Law 72nd Cycle03:24 00:44 Radiohead - DaydreamingA Moon Shaped Pool, 2016, XL Recordings XLDA79003:58 03:01 Daniel W.J.

Because of the drones, atmospheric field recordings and insect sounds, this mix will be labeled as an 'ambient' mix by most listeners. And of course it is.... but at the same time it isn't. It simply isn't 'unobtrusive' enough to be 'ambient'. An hour-long journey of scene changes, meandering between *Kitsch* and *Kult* - a bit more 'psychedelic' than 'ambient', in fact. --- originally published on Ambientblog --- This particular mix was created as a submission to Secret Thirteen's 'New Blood' invitation to send in 'kaleidoscopic mixes' for their mix series (that's why their logo is in the image). The '41' refers to the number of track samples that are used in this mix.

This mix is made to be published in the excellent series of mixes on the "Sounds of a Tired City", part of the larger website with the same name.Inspired by the site name, I decided I wanted to try to create a sonic 'walk' through a 'tired' city.

"Jam Karet" is Bahasa Indonesia (Indonesian language) meaning "Elastic Time" (or "Rubber Hours"). To me, this concept also applies to mixes that include ambient and drone fragments... where the listener gets immersed in sound in such a way that all notion of time is lost; where music could last for minutes, or for hours. --- originally published on Ambientblog --- Playlist:start time - sample length - Artist - Title(Album Title, Release Year, Label details) 00:00 04:30 Samora - Uranium(Lontano, 2014, Tranquillo / Psychonavigation TRAN005)03:38 04:21 Witte Ruis - Droon 1.1A(Places, 2014, Lomechanik LOMEK025)06:03 04:56 Orphax - Mantophasmatodea(Oniscus Asellus, 2014, self-released)08:26 02:33 Alvin Lucier - Music for Gamelan Instruments, Microphones and Loudspeakers(Resonance 9.2, 2002, London Musician's Collective RES 9.2 )09:21 02:07 Francisco Lopez - Untitled #240(Untitled [2009], 2011, Baskaru Karu:20)11:05 02:26 Ulises Conti - M(Los Griegos Creían Que Las Estrellas Eran Pequeños Agujeros Por Donde Los Dioses Escuchaban A Los Hombres, 2014, Flau FLAU41)12:36 03:29 Marina Rosenfeld - New York/It's All About(P.A./ Hard Love, 2013, Room40, RM430)15:39 01:05 Paul Schütze - Sacred Agents(New Maps of Hell, 1996, Big Cat ABB 104 CD)16:00 02:00 Brunette Models - Nie Bryza Targane Poczwary Glebin(Impressions of Whispers, 2009, Jamenda 057363)16:30 04:10 Jacaszek & Kwartludium - Sigh (Les Peupliers)(Catalogue des Arbres, 2014, Touch TO;94)19:30 03:34 Slim Vic - Divalater (Part 1)(Brain Mash, 2014, Lamour Records lamourcd001)21:09 03:00 Sava Marinkovic - Opening(Evocation, 2014, self-released)22:51 02:38 Mica Levi - Andrew Void / Lipstick to Void(Under the Skin OST, 2014, Milan, 399 543-2)25:01 02:24 Hortus Conclusus - Drone_66 Denebola(Selected Drones, 2011, Nostress Netlabel NN_LP006_11_11)26:00 01:32 Laurie Spiegel - Three Sonic Spaces I(Unseen Worlds, 1994, Aesthetic Engineering AE 11001-2)27:06 00:31 Tod Dockstader - Four Telemetry Tapes, No. 2(Apocalypse, 1993, Starkland ST-202)27:13 04:31 Pete Namlook - Music for Urban Meditation - Part VI(Music for Urban Meditation, 2004, Fax PK 08/167)27:28 00:46 Tod Dockstader - Four Telemetry Tapes, No. 3(Apocalypse, 1993, Starkland ST-202)28:46 05:39 Porzellan - Between Two Suns(The Fourth Level of Comprehension, 2009, Hibernate HB03)32:33 02:50 Max Richter - Journey 3(Infra, 2010, Fat Cat Records CD 13-11)35:00 03:40 Monolake - Avalanche(Silence, 2009, Imbalance Computer Music ML025)37:21 03:52 Mesektet - Hollow Monolitis(Towards a Bleak Sun, 2014, Cold Spring CSR191CD)39:33 03:07 Erik Enocksson - Epilogue(Man Tänker Sitt, 2009, Kning Disk KD070)41:41 02:38 Kate Carr - Sunset(Overheard in Doi Saket, 2014, 3Leaves 3L030)42:54 02:00 Man Watching the Stars - Alpha Ursae Minoris(Dusk, 2014, CIUIN UIN002)43:31 02:31 Yair Elazar Glotman - Khaypudyr Bay(Northern Gulfs, 2014, Glacial Movements GM012)45:18 04:19 Alva Noto - Alva Noto Z1 (For John Cage)(For, 2006, Line LINE_026)48:21 01:57 The The - Meat Fever(Tony, 2010 Lazarus Cineola 1)49:24 08:10 Svarte Greiner - Final Sleep (Remix by Hecq)(Conversions, 2014, Ad Noiseam adn174)55:12 02:45 Mike Cooper - Jalan Sam Heng(White Shadows in the South Seas, 2013, Room40 RM454)56:16 02:18 Penjaga Insaf - Cross the Border(To Whom it May Concern, 2005, Shortwave Transmission SWT01)57:22 03:09 Penjaga Insaf - Sang Dalang(Sama Sadja, 2010, Power & Steel PAS 27)59:01 07:11 Man Watching the Stars - Fields (Dusk)(Dusk, 2014, CIUIN UIN002)1:06:47 - End

This mix is built around mysterious vocals. Vocals that may guide you, or lure you, into distances unknown. Often, but not exclusively, female, and some of them not even human - like the beautiful flute-playing by Jean-Christophe Bonnafous, or the mysterious singing sound of the comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko that was recently discovered during the Rosetta space missions. With just a little fantasy you can imagine the Philae Space Lander being attracted by the comet's song - ultimately leading it to an untimely death. --- originally published on Ambientblog --- Start - Length - Artist - Title (Album Title, Release Year, Label #) 00:00 2:39 Mendel Kaelen - Suñayaca Tãla(Sequence 8, 2014, Futuresequence SEQ008)01:51 01:41 Hildur Gudnadottir - Poka(Saman, 2014, Touch TO:96)03:16 00:54 Dan Romer & Benh Zeitlin - End of the World Theme(Beasts of the Southern Wild OST, 2012, Thirty3 and a 3rd Records)03:28 04:06 Giulio Aldinucci - Fieno(Aer, 2014, Dronarivm DR-25)05:56 03:46 Iva Bittová - Fragment VI(Iva Bittová, 2013, ECM Records ECM 2275)07:13 02:55 Ambient Music Therapy - Sleep 3(Ultimate Sleep System, 2005, Self-Released)08:07 02:57 Above, Convenience Store! - Boneyard Stray Dog(Building in Search of the Sun, 2013, Sparkwood Records SR01)10:15 03:54 Penjaga Insaf - Pulang(Sama Sadja, 2010, Power & Steel PAS27)11:52 01:47 Andrew Skeoch & Sarah Koschak - Distant Bellbirds(Favourite Australian Birdsong, 2001, Listening Earth LECD 10)13:25 01:28 Andrew Skeoch & Sarah Koschak - Pied Butcherbirds(A Morning in the Australian Bush, 1996, Listening Earth LECD 9601)14:11 01:06 Ambrose Field - Technoform 7(Quantaform Series, 2013, Sargasso SCD28071)14:45 00:40 Andrew Liles - Tinder Box(Black Beauty, 2007, Beta-Lactam Ring Records MT127)14:54 05:02 Enrico Coniglio - Existenz Minimum(Areavirus Topofonie Vol. 1, 2007, Psychonavigation Records PSY 020)19:32 01:30 Cliff Martinez - Wrong Floor(Drive OST, 2011, Sony/Lakeshore Records 88691975162)20:36 03:21 Field Rotation - The Repetition of History(Fatalist The Repetition of History, 2013, Denovali DEN161)23:30 01:25 Asne Valland Nordli - Veverskens Tid(Over Tones, 2014, ECM Records ECM 2315)24:30 04:01 Darren Harper - Will My Memories of You Hold True(Suspended Memory, 2011, Self-released)26:48 04:06 David Toop - Disposal Chute Inoperative(Mondo Black Chamber, 2014, Sub Rosa SR385)29:39 01:57 Jack Dangers - Blast Off(Bathyscape Trieste, 2013, Primary Numbers PRIMA007)31:03 02:32 Andrew Liles - Aviophilia(In My Father's House There Are Many Mansions, 2006, Fourth Dimension Records FDCD68)32:50 02:16 Rodolpho Alexis - Parabolic Amphibian Mix (Various Tree Frogs)(The Wire Tapper 34, 2014, Wire Magazine Issue 362)33:37 02:00 Lustmord - Babel(The Word as Power, 2013, Blackest Ever Black BLACKESTCD004)35:17 03:18 Desert of Hiatus - Trepidation's Skin(Inconsolable Grief, 2014, self-released)37:51 02:56 Alogon - Snow(Wound, 2014, Under U.R. 08)38:49 02:29 Jean-Christophe Bonnafous - Alterina(Graines de Berceuses, 2012, Prokosnovénie, Prik144)39:28 02:23 A Day for Strange Birds - The Night Creeps(The Sound Between The Noise, 2014, self-released)40:40 02:16 Stefkovic van Interesse - Nebelmarsch(In the Fields, 2013, Self-Released)42:35 04:24 Pauline Oliveros - Watertank Software(Vor Der Flut - Hommage an einen Wasserspeicher, 1985, Eigelstein Musikproduktion, ES2025/26 CD)46:37 00:55 Paul Schütze - Sacred Agents(New Maps of Hell, 1996, Big Cat ABB 104 CD )47:02 03:31 Deaf Center - The Day I Would Never Have(Owl Splinters, 2011, Type TYPE080 )50:02 03:15 Mariolina Zitta - Sonar(Concert for Bats, Voices and Natural Sounds, 2007, Earth Ear ee6142)51:46 02:33 Max Eastley - Hydrophone String Installation(Installation Recordings 1973 - 2008, 2010, Paradigm Discs PD26)53:08 05:27 Ian William Craig - Either Or(A Turn of Breath, 2014, Recital 8)57:12 02:27 Mica Levi - Alien Loop(Under the Skin OST, 2014, Milan M2-36678)58:24 00:41 ESA Operations - A Singing Comet(ESA Operations Rosetta Mission, 2014, Soundcloud)59:00 00:47 Jon Hopkins - Distant Fire(How I Live Now OST, 2013, Just Music TAO056)

If one of the criteria for 'ambient' music is that you can comfortably fall asleep to it, I guess you'd better skip this particular mix. Although it starts quiet and reassuring with soothing vocal chords from Silvestrov's "The Lord's Prayer", the mood disintegrates and sometimes can become rather unsettling - depending on your own personal 'incidental memories', of course. --- originally published on Ambientblog --- For reasons I can't really explain, this mix works better if you listen on speakers instead of headphones - just let the airwaves flow for maximum immersion.

"Autumn is here. Darkness slowly creeps up just a little bit earlier. Clouds get grayer and swell up with rain. Trees shed their colors and tighten their belts. And people begin to prepare for winter. But among all the shadows there’s a small ray of light. And with that glow comes the music… For today’s exclusive podcast, Peter van Cooten weaves in layers of haunting soundscapes spanning the gray-scale of the ambient universe. It’s a gorgeous soundtrack to the season of tears…" (Words by H_C) --- originally published on Ambientblog --- Playlist: [Start Time][Sample Length][Artist - Title][Album], [Year], [Label details] 00:00 01:20 Deathprod - A Dream for Ted GreeneMoney Will Ruin Everything 2, 2008, Rune Grammofon RCD207200:28 04:01 Antonymes - Tristesse (Fryderyk Chopin's 12 Études Op. 10 No. 3 in E Major)Variations of Chopin, 2013, Too Many Fireworks 2MF01302:04 02:55 Yann Novak - Amphi, ExcerptAquarius, 2013, Dronarivm DR-0902:53 02:21 Prurient - Terracotta SpineThrough the Window, 2013, Blackest Ever Black BLACKESTCD00203:33 03:37 Siddhartha Barnhoorn - The CoreAntichamber, 2013, Bandcamp06:06 01:32 Boards of Canada - TelepathTomorrow's Harvest, 2013, Warp Records WARPCD25706:06 02:40 Space Shuttle Launch(Taken from the Youtube Video by Michael Interbartolo)07:11 02:58 Rauelsson - Wave OutVora, 2013, Sonic Pieces 01709:00 02:25 Monochromie - KatedraColors in the Dark, 2013, Time Released Sound TRS03310:07 02:23 Jeremy Bible - Co_4Collisions, 2013, Experimedia.net11:40 01:31 Jeremy Bible - Co_9Collisions, 2013, Experimedia.net12:51 05:57 Richard Chartier - Interior Field (Part 1)Interior Field, 2013, Line 06214:18 04:23 Felipe Otondo - SarnathTutuguri, 2013, Sargasso SCD2807017:29 04:29 Bruce Gilbert & BAW - The ExpanseDiluvial, 2013 Touch TO:8717:29 03:12 Bruce Gilbert & BAW - Dry LandDiluvial, 2013, Touch TO:8720:25 02:52 Sebastian Plano - AngelsImpetus, 2013, Denovali DEN17722:31 02:22 Squanto - And BackEvery Night Draws the Same Crowd, 2013, Fluid Audio 01723:44 02:14 Daniel Blinkhorn - Relatively Loud TonesTerra Subfónica, 2013 Gruenrekorder Gruen 11724:24 02:12 Sam Genovese - The Flower in Your ThroatThe Locust in Your Mouth, 2013, Bandcamp25:18 03:28 Michel Banabila - The Late HourZoomworld, 2013, Bandcamp28:08 04:45 Ben Lukas Boysen - The Behinian GospelGravity, 2013, Ad Noiseam ADN168CD30:17 05:22 Jari Pitkänen - UnialusAnima Ombra, 2013, Enough Records, enrmp32133:47 03:32 Metal Wind - Undesirable RotationsAncient Sounds Revival, 2013, Textural Records35:29 02:32 Drøn - Frozen PassageHD188753, 2013, Drøn Release Network DRN 00137:20 02:40 Ben Bix - Nyihahi (Nocturne I-II)All of the Variations At Once, 2013, Psychonavigation PSY07139:13 02:02 Alexandre Desplat - L'OrqueDeRouille Et D'Os, 2012, Idol Records 691.A003.020/WNP000740:50 03:31 Orientalism - Slit Air OmenAli's Riot Men, 2013, Attenuation Circuit ACP 101141:57 01:05 Eugene Carchesio - C9Concert for One Person in a Small Room, 2013, Room40 DRM42142:54 01:58 Marina Rosenfeld - New York_Empire State ofP.A.

"I'm not formed by things that are of myself alone" This is the key quote (taken from Stoker) for this mix, which is also 'not formed by things of itself alone'. Every detail, every short sample, has its origin in another context, another musical composition, from which it is taken to find a new place in a completely different context. "My ears hear what others cannot hear." "Parallax" is the visual effect that, when you are moving yourself, objects closer to you seem to move by faster than objects in the distance, which slowly seem to move with you in the same direction. In sound, drones seem to create a somewhat similar effect. In some way that is what this mix is about: the background sound slowly moving along with you while some other fragments pass by so quick you cannot even focus. Just don't try to focus.

The title of this mix is taken from the beautiful soundtrack it heavily leans on: Alexandre Desplat's "Rust and Bone" ("De Rouille et D'Os"). "Rust" usually refers to 'decay', but in dutch "Rust" simply also means 'rest', ('tranquil - or 'repos' in french). But - as we say in Holland: "Rust Roest" - or: "Too much rest will make you rusty..." In other words: don't expect just 'tranquil' sounds in this mix.. This is nót meant to be your average 'healing session ambient' soundtrack... so be prepared... --- originally published on Ambientblog --- Playlist: [Start Time][Sample Length][Artist - Title][Album], [Year], [Label details] 00:00 01:16 Colin Stetson - All the Days I've Missed You (Ilay I)De Rouille et D'Os OST, 2012, Idol Records 691.A003.020/WNP000700:59 01:49 Ben Woods - The Brightest Lights in the Darkest SkiesMoments, 2009, Wise Owl OWL-04401:23 03:34 Listening Mirror - There are No StarsFive Pieces, 2012, Rural Colours RC050 03:22 02:27 Y0t0 - Uriarra Road (Seaworthy)Uriarra Road, 2011, Facture 00304:29 04:06 Luup - DawnIt's Not Boring, It's Ambient, 2012, Preserved Sound07:54 02:32 Paulo Raposo - UntitledUntitled Songs: 49 Years from Gesang der Jünglinge, 2005, Sirr 002009:07 03:06 Dyane Donck - IrredeemableMind the Gap 100, 2013, Gonzo Circus GC12610:39 02:29 Jan Kees Helms - E-NatureFall Asleep Ghosts, 2009, DNA Production DNA 7211:27 01:34 Daddy You Scared Me sample from Possession, 2012, Ghost House Pictures12:27 01:13 Michael Esposito, Carl Michael von Hauswolff, Phantom Air Waves - The Ghosts of Effingham,The Ghosts of Effingham, 2010, Parapsychic Acoustic Research Cooperative ‎– PARC 412:37 01:46 Mychael Danna - TsimtsumLife of Pi OST, 2012, 20th Century Fox 8872547725213:56 02:25 Bob Ostertag, Phil Minton - InkVerbatim Flesh & Blood, 1998, Seeland 51214:36 01:51 Eyvind Kang - Wintercount - Avalika SvaraGrass, 2012, Tzadik TZ808915:45 02:03 Alexandre Desplat - AliDe Rouille et D'Os OST, 2012, Idol Records 691.A003.020/WNP000716:42 03:40 Pauwel de Buck - Rehabilitated DistrictMind the Gap 88, 2011, Gonzo Cicus GC11317:38 03:01 Offthesky - Khione Cast the ChildA Winter's Gift, 2012, Hibernate HB4618:51 06:05 Richard Chartier - Retrieval PathAirport Symphony, 2007, Room40 EDRM41721:30 03:38 Porya Hatami - WinterLand, 2012, Somehow Recording SR-2823:49 02:07 Ben Frost - Feeding10, 2011, Room40 DRM41025:18 02:29 Ben Lukas Boysen; Nils Frahm - Closing Credits (By Nils Frahm)Restive OST, 2012, hymen records ¥803 25:49 03:09 Yourai - To Karlheinz StockhausenMusic for Elevators 4, 2012, Mahorka mhrk09127:47 04:57 Arve Henriksen - Recording AngelCartography, 2008, ECM 208631:33 04:43 Chris Watson - Mexico D.F.El Tren Fantasma, 2011, Touch TO:4235:23 03:07 Bass Communion - TailwindHeadwind-Tailwind, 2009, My Own Little Label MOLL03037:48 02:10 Alexandre Desplat - De Rouille et D'OsDe Rouille et D'Os OST, 2012, Idol Records 691.A003.020/WNP000738:50 05:50 Francisco Lopez - Untitled #233Untitled (2009), 2011, Baskaru Karu:2040:19 03:38 Luca Nasciuti - CradleBrave New World, 2011, FeedbackLoop Label FbL01042:39 03:14 Ed.S - Leftover2_(Ed.S Remix)Shinkei + mise_en_scene - Leftovers (Reworked), 2011, Crónica 06045:29 02:23 Justin Bennett - MoorlandWildlife, 2008, Spore Records 00746:18 03:52 Simon Whetham - FabricariaLoud Listening, 2012, Crónica 06747:05 02:36 Yann Novak - Slow MotionSequence 5, 2012, Future Sequence SE 00548:40 00:46 Cliff Martinez - PlaceboContagion OST, 2011, Watertower Music WTM3926648:48 04:17 Linear Bells - Purple Night (feat.

The sheer volume of the Headphone Commute’s '…And Darkness Came' compilation – issued as a charity fundraising for the victims of Hurricane Sandy, and boasting 87 tracks (over 6 hours) of music – was also a kind of invitation to create a mix from it. --- originally published on Ambientblog --- Presenting a wide range of music from well (and lesser) known artists – covering most of the ambient/electronic/post-classical/improv spectre, the compilation is an overview and 'who’s who' of what’s happening at this very moment. Its diversity of sounds and musical ideas will appeal to everyone with open ears.

If you have ever watched Stanley Kubrick's "2001 - Space Odyssey", you will definitely remember the impressive scene in which the memory modules are slowly taken away from HAL, the ship's main computer, because it started to disfunction and became a threat to the astronauts and their mission. Just before his memory fades completely, HAL remembers being programmed to sing"Daisy", one of his earliest digital 'childhood memories'. With this scene (as well as with HAL's name), Kubrick directly referred to the IBM 7094 computer (used to control the Mercury and Gemini space flights, as well as the Apollo missions) which was programmed to sing Daisy in 1961 - a remarkable accomplishment at that time! Computer systems revolting, loss of memory, human utterings that seem to come from lost souls.... I guess you'd better be prepared for a dark and suspenseful listening hour ... --- originally published on Ambientblog --- Playlist Track Start - Sample Length - Artist - TitleAlbum Details 00:00 03:33 Huan Qing - Guang Wu Road #108Hexiefu, 2011, FM Productions Ltd, FM3CD0101:27 02:16 Hiroki Sasajima - NanoparticleEscala 2.3.1 Ice, 2012, Escala 2:301:46 03:25 Aalfang Mit Pferdekopf - Die HungervogellockvorrichtungKall Trä, 2012, Empiric Records emrec 103:51 01:46 Maile Colbert/Simon Whetham - Light BrutalMeditations on Light, Reconstructions, 2011, Monochrome Vision mv3504:47 01:11 Neil Milton - The Broken LinesBrave New World, 2011, FeedbackLoop Label FB01006:02 01:43 Pierpaolo Leo - BioluminescenceUnderwater Noises, 2010, Ephre Imprint IC/eph0106:28 01:50 Alio Die - Little PainFuneral Songs, 2001, Crowd Control Activities CCA 02607:25 03:33 Max Richter - When She Came BackElle S'Appelait Sarah, 2010, Jade 699726909:24 05:06 Loscil - Endless FallsEndless Falls, 2010, Kranky krank14112:57 02:15 Ex.Order - Shuchu Ryoku Part 3Incendium III, 2011, Loki Foundation LOKI 5414:31 02:33 Specta Ciera - There Were No More Days After ThatCeci N'Est Pas Une Pipe, 2009, Public Spaces Lab PS01015:23 04:17 Somatic Response - Fear Chasing Hope (Zombie Subway HC Edit)...And Darkness Came, 2012, Headphone Commute HCD00116:45 04:52 Stanley Kubrick - HAL Memory Unload Sequence2001, A Space Odyssey, 1968, MGM18:22 06:02 Runar Magnusson - The Heathen Harp: A Pärt for the DreamachineOptions, 2009, Hljóðaklettar – #HKUSB121:31 01:55 Holly Herndon - BreatheMovement, 2012, RVNG Intl RVNGL 1523:15 01:45 [Blank] - SueñoSueño, 2012, F4TMusic F4TS00123:50 02:52 Dustin O'Halloran - Fragile No. 2...And Darkness Came, 2012, Headphone Commute HCD00125:33 05:20 Richard Chartier - Rendered 1_200910, 2011, Room40 DRM41027:16 05:19 Y Create - Diablo Coast RangeThe Walls Are Whispering vol.

When Christophe Ywaska, creator of the weekly Klankschap radio shows on VillaBota webradio suggested working on a mix together, I knew we were in for a sonic treat.  Klankschap mixes are never "just" ambient - or "just" any other genre for that matter. Their tracklistings are a display of a deep knowledge of all kinds of experimental music, both new ánd old. Due to their nature, they dó require some 'active' listening, though: they're never meant to be 'easy listening' background music. And the same is true for this mix, "Both Were Moving": this is clearly no 'ambient' mix - it's a sonic rollercoaster ride! --- originally published on Ambientblog --- Playlist:  00.00 Anja Lechner – G.I.

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!

Andrej Tarkovsky's 1972 movie "Solaris" inspired this mix-collage. This mix includes many different sources. Some parts of the originals Artemyev soundtrack are linked to fragments of the beautiful game soundtrack from Skyrim, by Jeremy Soule. The cinematic parts are alternated with various electronic soundscape fragments - familiar and less familiar. Together with many tiny fragments from your own memory, a new - and strictly personal- alternate reality may be created, which (like in Solaris) may be hard to distinguish from real life...

This mix obviously found its name from the lovely intro (and outtro) track by Nest. Inbetween, there are many moments of 'stillness', too... Moments you may slowly drift off into the drones, letting your mind wander ... to be pulled back again by some of the post-classical 'anchors' in this mix. Maybe it's a small opportunity to retreat from current society's turmoil, and to find some time to 'cocoon' to the sounds (and the sometimes fascinating depths) of 'Stillness'. Some word of warning, however: if this suggests this mix only contains warm, comfortable and pleasurable sounds, be prepared for some suprises. I never said that "Stillness" always means "Comforting"... --- originally published on Ambientblog --- Tracklist: [start time][sample length][artist - title][album details] 00:00 05:55 Nest - StillnessBody Pilot, 2011, Serein SERE 11.304:04 02:07 Electricityprivate collection, 2011, not on album04:44 02:33 I8U - TolueneSurface Tension, 2011, Murmur Records MMR1006:32 01:29 Cliff Martinez - I'm SickContagion Soundtrack, 2011, Watertower Music WTM3926607:09 05:01 Esther Venrooy - VesselVessel, 2011, Entr'acte E10408:43 03:34 Leah Kardos - The WaitingFeather Hammer, 2011, Bigo and Twigetti11:15 03:02 Lance Olsen - The Creature that Drank SoundAu Clair de La Lune, 2009, Infrequency IN00512:05 08:10 Bass Communion - CenotaphCenotaph, 2011, Tonefloat TF11518:16 02:45 A Winged Victory for the Sullen - A Requiem for the Static KingA Winged Victory for the Sullen, 2011, Kranky KRANK15720:33 03:57 Vladimír Godár - Postludio - MantraQuerela Pacis, 2011, Pavian Records PM0050-223:16 06:27 Human Greed, Michael Begg, Colin Potter - DeshretFortress Longing, 2011, Omnempathy OMIC228:13 03:10 Carbon Based Lifeforms - SystemTwentythree, 2011, Ultimae Records, INRE04730:27 02:07 Kirill Platonkin - Stellar Seeds (Original)Purified by the Fire, 2011, ADX 03530:51 06:02 Sister Waize - Side Time DownA Dawning of Wonder, 2011, self-released36:17 02:16 Spectra Ciera - Unlit PathwayUnderpass, 2011, Feedback Loop Label FBL02037:02 02:21 Justin Bennett - Tiergarten 1Wildlife, 2008, Spore Records Spore 200738:26 03:16 Jacaszek - WindhoverGlimmer, 2011, Ghostly International, GI-14740:50 03:01 Tom Lawrence - Moore's WellWater Beetles of Pollardstown Fen, 2011, Gruenrekorder GRUEN 08741:51 04:08 Pascal Savy - Reflective ShadowLiminal, 2011, Feedback Loop Label, PHBL0244:39 02:53 Jan M.

In the Northern Hemisphere, the November month is the month of Autumn: the month that summer is definitely over, when cold and darkness slowly creeps in.  (In the Southern Hemisphere, November is a month of Spring - which means this mix will probably not fit your "November Thoughts" at all).  (Northern) November can be rough and harsh, but it's also very beautiful to watch nature prepare for winter and finding ourselves doing the same. It is also a good month to think November Thoughts. --- originally published on Ambientblog --- Playlistfirst time is start-time; second time is sample length 00:00 04:30 Christina Vantzou - Prelude for Juan(No.1, 2011, Kranky Krank159)03:30 04:36 David Darling - September Mom(Prayer for Compassion, 2009, Wind over the Earth WE2340)05:48 03:05 Amiina - Sicsak(Puzzle, 2010, Amínamúsík Ehf. – AMIINA 5)07:20 04:30 Runar Magnusson & Thor Magnusson - Kizxju(Classifields, 2007, Tri Postal Trip 6)09:22 02:36 Siberische Zelle - Knechte des Tourismus(Archive 1, 2005, 90% Wasser WCD 003)09:55 03:07 Alex Durlak - Bellows(Kanshin, 2011, Hibernate 008)11:26 03:46 Field Rotation, Mari Solaris - Lament(Brave New World, 2011, Feedbackloop FBL010)14:00 03:54 Dadavistic Orchestra - Deep Old Mu(Dokument.02, 2011, Dust Science Recordings Dustcd025)15:41 03:25 Brian Eno - Calcium Needles(Small Craft on a Milk Sea, 2010, WARP warpcd207)17:40 07:18 Yann Novak - Presence(Presence, 2011, Hibernate HB35)21:38 04:39 Peter Broderick - Pause(SMM Context, 2011, Ghostly International, GI-133)25:18 03:39 Clem Leek - Origami Soldiers(Lifenotes, 2011, Drifting Falling DRIFTING023)26:54 04:09 Antonymes - Endlessly(The Licence to Interpret Dreams, 2011, Hidden Shoal HSR080)30:21 01:00 Macu - One Minute for the Stars(One Minute for the Stars, 2011, SEM 011)30:45 03:08 Daniel Menche - Hover(Hover, 2010, Touch Spire 3)32:23 02:56 Allessio Ballerini - Zeit_Partone(Music From the Puddle, 2011, Time Released Sound TRS-03)33:25 02:55 Natalia Noelis Siebula & Bartosz Dziadosz - Otta Og Kvida(In the Bleak Wilderness of Sleep, 2011, Audio Gourmet Netlabel AGCD05)35:35 03:39 Erik Carlsson & Steven Hess - Waal(Bridges, 2011, Machinefabriek self-released)37:50 03:38 Carl Michael Von Hausswolff - Night(800.000 Seconds in Harar, 2011, Touch TO:82)39:09 05:35 Yann Novak - Lullabye(Cotton Dragon's Eye Second Anniversary, 2011, Dragon's Eye Recording, der003)43:32 03:21 Sense - Less Than Perfect(Selected Moments Volume 1, 2011, Psychonavigation PSY046)46:03 02:53 Janek Schaefer - Unfolding Honey(10, 2011, Room40 DRM410)47:49 02:25 Franz Hautzinger - T-Gone(Gomberg II, 2007, Loewenhertz 018)48:58 02:52 Kleidosty - Fruited Plain(Kleidosty, 2011, Loöq Records LQ-1108 )50:50 03:23 Penjaga Insaf - Pelamun(Sama Sadja, 2011, Power & Steel PAS27)52:26 04:23 Runar Magnusson - Useless Feelings(Mixed Feelings, 2005, Whitelabel)54:07 03:04 Jean-Francois Laporte - Electro-Prana(Soundmatters, 2007, 23five 009)56:55 01:30 Clem Leek - November 11th(Lifenotes, 2011, Drifting Falling DRIFTING023)57:30 02:18 Stephan Mathieu, Janek Schaefer - Cosmos(Hidden Name, 2006, Crónica 027)58:34 01:14 Jean-Francois Laporte - Electro-Prana(Soundmatters, 2007, 23five 009)1:00:00 End

"Teloorgang" is a beautiful dutch word that can be best translated with "Loss" or "Decay". Some say there is beauty in decay....This may be true, but in fact only when watched from a safe distance - the 'decay' not regarding ourselves or our own environment.. It is, of course, tempting to relate the theme of this mix to the current state of our (western) society. But that may just be coincidence: this word "Teloorgang" came to mind when listening back the mix after it was finished.

The main theme for this mix (as well as the title "Discouraging Intruders" ) came from the spoken word track by the Dwindlers: "What the Wolves Said": "No two of us on the same note, we sound bigger...our harmony discouraging intruders..." Although generally not sounding like a pack of howling wolves, sometimes the purpose of 'ambient' music also is also is to 'discourage intruders' (such as unwanted sounds) to invade your environment.. From the opening, this mix slowly dwells into long drone soundscapes - some discouraging, others comforting - only to be interrupted by a climactic eruption from Siddhartha Barnhoorn's cinematic 'Artifacts' directly following the enchanting vocals of Fovea Hex, a choir arrangement that seems to be coming directly from heaven by Franz Liszt (from 'Via Crucis', 1879!), followed by a Sibil'La Catalana string theme from the 15th century - and finally to be concluded by the acquiescent vocals from the Terje Isungset track.    Whether you prefer to be on the inside or the outside is up to your imagination... --- originally published on Ambientblog --- Playlist (First time is the start time, second time indicates sample length) 00:00 (01:30) Äpne Sinn - EspiritistaEspiritista, 2011; Relaxed Machinery rM01501:00 (02:00) Antonymes - On Arrival at the Strange Museum (ending)The Licence to Interpret Dreams, 2011; Hidden Shoal Recordings HSR08003:00 (03:13) Antonymes - On Arrival at the Strange MuseumThe Licence to Interpret Dreams, 2011; Hidden Shoal Recordings HSR08005:35 (04:12) The Dwindlers - What the Wolves Said -Various Artists - Brave New World, 2011; Feedback Loop Label FbL01008:00 (06:07) Field Rotation - A Dimly Haze (Asleep Pt. 1)And Tomorrow I Will Sleep, 2011; Hibernate HB3109:00 (01:24) Enrico Coniglio - Kingdom of HerDialogue One, 2011; Silentes cd 20112810:08 (04:16) Arturas Bumsteinas - Boletus SatanasPastoral, 2011; Crónica 05512:28 (04:53) Johann Johannsson - An Injury to One is the Concern of AllThe Miners' Hymn, 2011; 130701 CD13-1316:11 (05:40) Johann Johannsson - Freedom from Want and FearThe Miners' Hymn, 2011; 130701 CD13-1318:34 (04:04) Model Citizen - Sleep LearningVarious Artists - Brave New World, 2011; Feedback Loop Label FbL01019:40 (06:37) Fovea Hex - Cup Of Joy (Colin Potter remix)Here is where we used to sing (bonus EP), 2011; Janet Records JRDS004B25:45 (02:57) Siddhartha Barnhoorn - ArtifactsPillars of Light, 2011; Self-released27:14 (03:59) Michael Prime - God's Own DibberL-Fields, 2000; Sonoris SON-0828:34 (06:00) Carl Michael von Hausswolff - Day800 000 seconds in Harar, 2011; Touch TO:8230:30 (04:54) Yann Novak - NightfallNightfall, 2011; self-released34:27 (01:03) Franz Liszt - Station III, Jesus Fällt zum ersten malVia Crucis, 1986; Decca 4805133 35:20 (01:18) Anonymus - Sibil'la CatalanaEl Cant de la Sibil-La, 1988; AliaVox Heritage AVSA 987936:20 (01:20) Arms and Sleepers - CrashNostalgia for the Absolute, 2011; self-released37:12 (04:49) Robert Crouch - A Body of WorkVarious Artists - Wood, Dragon's Eye Fifth Anniversary, 2011; Dragon's Eye, de600840:16 (05:58) Loscil - Névé -Coast Range Arc, 2011; Glacial Movements GM01043:44 (02:41) Stuart Sweeney - Where the Shores Meet (16-9 version)16-9, 2011; Oomff UK OOMFF1001CD45:41 (02:20) Philip Samartzis - Davis StationVarious Artists - 10, 2011; Room40 DRM41045:49 (03:53) John Duncan, Valerio Tricoli - The Garden (excerpt)Eco et Narcisso.

Although it was created in March, this mix shows little signs of "Spring". There was no intentional relation, but inevitably the devastating Japan Earthquake, and the frightening nuclear disaster following it, somehow found its way into this mix. The result: a rather dark overall atmosphere, which seems to leave little room for hope. But at the same time, in Europe, winter retreats and daylight returns. Nature shows that it can destroy as well as recuperate. --- originally published on Ambientblog --- Playlist: 00:00 Porzellan - Vopar Tar[Parvo] Art, 2009, parvo 00702:15 Max Richter - The Vel D'HivElle s'appelait Sarah, 2010, Editions Jade 05:12 Colin Potter & Michael Begg - CarnethyFragile Pitches, 2010, Omnempathy OMIC108:29 Victor Joaquim - Radio_OEssays on Radio: Can I Have 2 Minutes of Your Time, 2005, Crónica 02009:39 Janek Schaefer - Untitled49 Years from Gesang der Jünglinge (2005-1958), 2005, Sirr 002013:08 Mikko Tarmia - Amb_end_softAmnesia, The Dark Descent (Game Soundtrack), 2010, Frictional Games13:25 Mikko Tarmia - Amb_extra01Amnesia, The Dark Descent (Game Soundtrack), 2010, Frictional Games13:40 Jack Wall - Linking ChamberMyst IV, Revelation (Game Soundtrack), 2005, Ubisoft14:12 Mikko Tarmia - Event_hallwayAmnesia, The Dark Descent (Game Soundtrack), 2010, Frictional Games14:18 Alio Die & Mariolina Zitta - Lithos (Part II)La Sala Dei Cristalli, 2010, Hic Sunt Leones HSL05816:08 Peter Andersson - SarkophagusMusic for Film & Exhibition II, 2010, Old Europa Cafe, OECD13518:07 Deaf Center - Hunted TwiceOwl Splinters, 2011, Type 08022:13 Heitor Alvelos - Had a Scanner been born on the BopsphorusEssays on Radio: Can I Have 2 minutes of Your Time, 2005, Crónica 02022:48 Max Eastley - Aerophones 5Installation Recordings (1973 - 2008), 2010, Paradigm Discs, PD2623:14 The Green Kingdom - Velvet LandscapeHidden Landscapes, 2011, Audio Gourmet AGCD00326:10 The Fun Years - Re: We're Again Buried UnderBaby It's Cold Inside, 2008, Barge Recordings, BRG00528:17 Steve Peters - Hymne (pour un Fils des Étoiles)Erik Satie et les Nouveaux Jeunes, 2011, Arbouse ARBOU02830:58 Gareth Davis & Machinefabriek - Grower, part 1Grower, 2011, Sonic Pieces 01037:28 Sussan Deyhim - PulsePossessed, 2001, Venus Rising Records40:44 Carl Michael von Hausswolff - Life and Death of PbocLife and Death of Pboc, 1986, Radium 226.05 RAPH 013-4(also in the 'Enter the Void' Soundtrack, 2010)42:08 Michel Banabila - The FallAlice in Wonderland & Various Other Works, 2010, unreleased43:47 Eluvium - Ogives RedistributedErik Satie et les Nouveaux Jeunes, 2011, Arbouse ARBOU02846:05 Lexithimie - Flesh and StonesI Rather Die Terrified, 2010, Audio Gourmet AGN01847:28 Antonymes - A Fragile AcceptanceThe Licence to Interpret Dreams, 2011, Hidden Shoal Recordings50:55 Deaf Center - Fiction DawnOwl Splinters, 2011, Type 08052:21 Chris Watson - Runway O2EIncidental Amplifications, 2006, Room40, EDRM40553:03 Alva Noto - Interim (for Dieter Rams)For 2, 2010, Line Line_04454:00 Pleq - Good Night, Pjusk RemixGood Night EP, 2010, Basses Frequences BF2958:06 Porzellan - Nebuleuse IIThe Fourth Level of Comprehension, 2009, Hibernate HB031:00:00 End

When I started working on this 'single artist mix' featuring music and sounds from Arno Peeters, I did not realise that creating a mix-collage based on soundscapes would be more difficult than one based on single tracks. A soundscape is a collage in itself - and using fragments from soundscapes to build another soundscape is like ripping up a collage and presenting the fragmented details out of their original context, rearranging them to create a new caleidoscopic image. The original context gets lost, and the result feels like an aural stream of consciousness that may not exactly be "easy on the ears" .... but may prove to be a fascinating exploration of imaginary territories.. --- originally published on Ambientblog --- Tracklist 00:00 ElementsAutumn Leaves (2007) Compilation01:07 Headtrick Modulation & Transformation 4 (1999) - Compilation 02:01 Taurus 'Stars of the Sky'-performance (2010)03:49 Blindside Soundscape Jakarta (2001) - In commission NPS 04:26 Soundscape Battle (with Radboud Mens)Live recording CEM-Festival (2004)06:30 As Death Passes By Tape (not released, 1988)06:40 Intro 'Stars of the Sky'-performance (2010)08:20 If You Have a Girlfriend Tape (not released, 1984)   08:48 Voltage Control - Yatiyana To An Undefined Public (1991)12:55 Amunite Int.

When I read that a new Fovea Hex album will be released in the "Very-Imminent-Future", this revived fond memories of their 2007 box set called "Neither Speak Nor Remain Silent". Two quotes may introduce this fascinating collection: Brian Eno thought these were "Some of the Most Extraordinary  Songs I've heard in Years", and The WIRE aptly summarized it this way: "If Emily Dickinson had ever been allowed to make a record, this is probably what it would have sounded like". These comments are all about the songs, but I was also impressed by the way Fovea Hex combined the (unmistakable English) "folk" tradition, their sweet sounding but very strange and mysterious vocal poetry, with a daringly experimental sound backing - even to the most extreme on the stretched minimalist remixes of the Hafler Trio (Andrew McKenzie) on the bonus versions  included in the original limited special edition. --- originally published on Ambientblog --- Playlist: 1.

What exactly happens at the moment night changes back into day again, when darkness slowly retreats and light comes back in?  Are we aware of what happens outside, at that time of day most of us are still sleeping?  What sort of animals or creatures are hiding from the light, and what sort finally dare to come out again?  Would we discover “Dawn Secrets” when we’d leave our own safe and familiar surroundings? To be honest, I did not start this mix with this theme in mind…it just ‘dawned’ on me when listening to it when it was almost finished…But from the start, I wanted this mix to have a strong ‘environmental’ feel (but not only include field recordings). --- originally published on Ambientblog --- Playlist: 00:00 Atom TM - Notturni No.1- 1i3835tra3Um3, 2010, Rather Interesting RI06700:52 Atom TM - Notturni No.2- 1i3835tra3Um3, 2010, Rather Interesting RI06702:54 Plinth - Drift- Flotsam, 2006, Second Language SL05X04:47 Jon Hopkins- Dawn - Monsters (OST), 2010, Domino Records DS036CD06:03 Simon Whetham - Music's a Wood you Walk Through- Wood - Dragon's Eye Fifth Anniversary, 2011, Dragon's Eye Recording de600807:54 Enrico Coniglio - The Crab's Secrets- Underwater Noises, 2011, Ephre Imprint/Lost Children Netlabel10:19 Mariolina Zitta - Cave Calls- Concert for Bats, Voices and Natural Sounds, 2007, Earth Ear ee614212:50 Philip Samartzis - General Electric- Audible Geography, 2008, Room40 EDRM41613:50 Un Vortice di Bassa Pressione - Hydrocoma Pt. 3- Underwater Noises, 2011, Ephre Imprint/Lost Children Netlabel15:30 Listening Mirror - The Organist- Coffee Break Ambient, 2010, Audio Gourmet Netlabel AGN02115:50 Chubby Wolf - Vocal Sounds Vibrate Air- Wood - Dragon's Eye Fifth Anniversary, 2011, Dragon's Eye Recording de600816:24 Balmorhea - Palestrina- Constellations, 2010, Western Vinyl WEST07020:50 Johann Johannsson - Sifreri- Explorer's Club 7 - Reykjavik, 2010, Loaf LOAF36D722:07 Wil Bolton - Slate- Time Lapse, 2010, Hibernate HB2223:40 Sigur Rós - Kafari- Sing me to Sleep (Indie Lullabies), 2010, American Laundromat Records ALR-002328:35 Jos Smolders - Aiolos (Vangsaa Exterior)- Various Sampler Contributions, 2010, Earlabs32:43 Julien Mier - Breathe With Me- Flakes, 2010, Esc.Rec esc.rec.30 / Lomechanik lomek1534:28 Sleepingdog - Polish Love Song- Sampler Winter 2010, 2010, Gizeh Records37:40 Markus Mehr - Datenwolke- Lava, 2010, Hidden Shoal Recordings HSR06939:40 Keith Kenniff - Anchor's Hold- The Last Survivor, 2010, Unseen Music40:52 Jon Hopkins - Attack- Monsters (OST), 2010, Domino Records DS036CD42:16 MiaMia - Bend Over Harder- Flakes, 2010, Esc.Rec esc.rec.30 / Lomechanik lomek1543:50 Enrico Coniglio - Fondamente Nove Incl. 130 Cm S- Salicornie Topofonie, Vol. 2, 2010, Psychonavigation PSY03947:25 Giya Kancheli - Theme From Hamlet, Var.
