a canticle unfolds


I love all the mixes being posted on Mixcloud by Fluid Radio. They have a ton of neo-classical, Ambient, Modern Classical, Experimental Acoustic mixes on their Mixcloud page. So I set out to make my own "neo-classical" mix. And as I have said here before, sometimes mixes take you in directions that you weren't anticipating.

With "a canticle unfolds", I discovered some vocal music as I was searching for tracks with a modern classical feel. Some of the tunes appear as recorded, others have been altered or remixed a bit. In the end, I ended up with 10 vocal cuts.

This mix started out fairly straight forward, turned into an experiment and ended up as a nice listening experience. I hope you like it.

  6. Crap! You're absolutely right, the fade up at 14:06 is messed up. I'll have to fix it & re-upload on Wednesday. Thanks for catching that!

  8. That was a very nice mix. I've been listening to it with my students today and they're not complaining....And these kids always complain. You have impressed an entire class of inner-city 5th graders.

  9. Wow! I never would have pictured a bunch of 5th graders listening to this mix. You must be on hell of a teacher to get them to listen to it. Very cool, thanks for the comments! Ask the kids if they have any ideas for other themes for mixes.

  10. I always like to know what's playing. I'm using foobar2000 which supports cuesheets and I created a cuesheet for this mix which I'd like to contribute:

  11. Alexander,

    Thanks for the cue sheet. I am not familiar with how cue sheets work but I've just downloaded foobar so I'm looking forward to figuring it out. Thanks.
