I was fishing around for an idea for a new mix and mother nature helped out by dropping some fresh snow overnight so that became the theme - The Silence of Snow. I took the picture above on a morning walk through a local nature preserve.
The first draft of this mix had several piano based pieces. I think piano tunes do a nice job of conjuring up snow but I decided to pull them and save them for an all piano snow mix for later in January or February.
Cheers to a better 2021!

This is the "snow" counterpart of the aquatic "Ocean Echoes" (May 2017) and quite probably the most laid back mix on the blog. In true ambient form, we listen only for effect; or wander away with the effect. The selections are extremely tight as if all the tracks were written for each other. For this reason the mix is extremely cohesive and very good at what it does.
