4th World Excursions - Slow Water

 

I love the strange exotic sounds of artists such as Jon Hassell, Andrew Pekler, and William Selman. Their music can take you on an audio journey to imaginary places all around the globe. My first 4th World Excursion mix was 4 years ago and I've only done one follow up, which is weird considering how much I enjoy this style. 

Here are the first two in this series:

And here is the new follow up - 4th World Excursions - Slow Water.

This new mix follows a similar pattern and feel as the other two - using a combination of field recordings and the sounds of bells, drums, vibraphone, various mallet instruments, the vibe creates a feeling of floating in a small wooden boat in a lagoon somewhere in Indonesia. As the waves lap against the boat you can hear distant drums, crickets, jungle birds, frogs, and odd instruments lulling you to sleep. Of course there are electronic elements to keep things interesting.

Here links to all the albums used in this mix in the order in which they appear:


Cheers!

Everyone loves when you do this style (speaking from my internet radio statistical observations). Your most intriguing mixes have overlaid compatible location recordings, either from you or in the base track, or both. Sounds like a keeper right out of the box.

Oops, I missed your kind comment when you made it back in Sept. of last year. Blogger has been spotty with notifications. Anyway, I'm glad you liked the mix. Cheers!
