minimal tendencies

On my list of the greatest recordings ever made you'll find the 1978 ECM records release of Steve Reich - Music for 18 Musicians. It blew me away when I heard it for the first time.  I've been a fan of minimal classical music ever since.

I have a ton of Steve Reich and Philip Glass music in my collection.  Recently I discovered a 2010 recording of Philip Glass music by the Delta Saxophone Quartet called Minimal Tendencies.  It's an excellent album and it got me thinking about a minimal mix.  So I stole the title of their album and started the mix with one of their tracks.

Enjoy

Sunday Morning Music vol. 13 - Silver Sunrise

The latest in the Sunday morning series features a gorgeous remix of a Silver Lake Chorus tune from their forthcoming remix album out on June 24th.

The mix opens and closes with Easy To Die by Silver Lake Chorus remixed by Hammock. The closing tune is an instrumental version.

The rest of the mix is the typical Sunday morning mix of instrumentals, jazz and vocal tunes. Most of the tracks are fairly new.
