Off-kilter, strange, a bit askew, weird, oblique - are all ways to describe this mix. It's a little creepy too which makes for a perfect mix for Spooky Season.
To create a Halloween mix it would be easy to grab some dark, dissonant ambient but as I've said before I'm not a dark ambient fan. So I went for the same feel I have used in the past - tunes that are a bit off-center. Tunes that make you think of midnight, distant headlights in the fog, street lamps and cigarette smoke.
I hope you enjoy the mix and play it during dias de los muertos.
Cheers!

Don't know i've ever said THANKS!!!
ReplyDeleteYour mixes soundtrack my most days
Work days, while working, and ... appreciating
today shared with 10, 12 yo boys
earlier my older kids,
your taste, mixing, feel for the music
unparalleled
hoping the Biden/Harris transition okay in your neck
ReplyDeleteand ... can we wish for the senate? thank you for being there
and for the incredible years of extraordinary bliss you provide
i'm sure i speak for hundreds of others, appreciating your work
and - ain't your day job! a labor of love, and gosh it shows
with such gratitude, from rob p, in Brisbane Australia :)
Rob - Thank you sooooo much for your very kind comment! It really means a lot to mean to know that my mixes have connected with folks out in the world. I think it's so cool that you are sharing the music with your boys. My kids couldn't help but absorb some of my strange taste in music. Both of them are now in creative fields possibly due to the relentless barrage of oddball music I subjected them to over the years.
ReplyDeleteBiden victory has definitely lifted our spirits around Low Light headquarters and I hope the good vibes reach al the way to Brisbane.
Thanks again for making my day/week/month/year with your lovely comment. Cheers!

ReplyDelete-Very well, you are absolved.
2nd time around listening to this noirish ambience, so good. Thanks for putting it together. Cinemateque masterclass.
