Blog: Low Light Mixes

Back In Business Baby!

Back In Business Baby! After about a dozen emails, I have finally figured out the file hosting/ftp problem. So hopefully the new links to all the mixes will work.

File Problems

File Problems Several mixes are off-line at the moment. I am having problems with my host. So if you are here looking for String Theory, Autumn Mix or Ambient Vocal Mix , please bear with me as I figure this whole thing out.

String Theory

String Theory Another new mix hot on the heels of the Autumn mix. This one is devoted to orchestral tunes. Most of the tunes have a similar ambient feel. Some are repetative, some are dreamy, some are dense, some are light, some are long, some are short. All of them are excellent neo-ambient-classical-orchestr al tunes. enjoy Download it here... http://www.switchpod.com/users /lowlight/string_theory.mp3 T R A C K L I S T : [...]

Piano Mix & Winter Mix available again

Piano Mix & Winter Mix available again Piano Mix & Winter is Blue are available again for download. I used yousendit.com to send the mixes to someone who missed them the first time around. So I figured I'd post the links here for anyone else that wants to download them before they disappear again. Here are the links... Piano Mix... http://www.yousendit.com/downl oad/QmwnTpmgwLg= available only until 10-19-06. [...]

Autumn Mix

Autumn Mix Here's another mix with a totally uncreative title, but at least that keeps things simple & easy to understand. As the title suggests, this is a mix for autumn. As I have done with other mixes, I narrowed my musical choices by limiting potential songs to those with certain keywords in the title. So all the song titles in this mix contain words such as colors, fall, autumn, leaves, September, etc. Download [...]

Book of Dreams

Book of Dreams L o s t L a k e S t o r i e s C h a p t e r 2 : BOOK OF DREAMS The Book of Dreams, washed up on the misty fractal shore of Lost Lake, lightcracks a door to a universe of one. A keybook to an endless flight of moonkissed waters and sunREM skies. Nocturnal tripscan reflections of lucid life and silent sound. Joyflight voices soar over sepia mountains of suspended memory. Starlost cafes serve cups of liquid mind and plates of drifting [...]

The Stars My Destination

The Stars My Destination This is the first in a series of four mixes done recently by Rick, a good friend of mine who was responsible for the Tea Time mix. I'll let him take it from here... LOST LAKE STORIES 2006 This 2006 collection of Lost Lake mixups was inspired by the writings of Jack Kerouac. After having read several of his books over the past year I decided to use a literary theme as a central core for these four mixes. The [...]

Piano Mix

Piano Mix To make space for new mixes I had to delete this one. If anyone is interested in this mix, email me & we'll work something out. The title is an obvious give-away about this mix. Over the past few years there has been a resurgence of fine acoustic music. Whether it's Xela adding acoustic guitar to his glitchy sound or Swod using large doses of piano combined with electronics, acoustic instruments have made for [...]

Ambient Vocal Mix

Ambient Vocal Mix There are two songs that I've always thought were great ambient tunes even though they had vocals. They are Daryl Hall's "The Farther Away I Am" and John Martyn's "Small Hours". I love these songs & they have made their way onto many mix tapes over the years. So I finally decided to incoporate them into a continous mix of similar sounding songs. This mix isn't technically "ambient". It's more ambient in feel & tone. Download it [...]

Piano Mix Re-posting

Piano Mix Re-posting I've had a few people request this mix to be made available again, so here it is. The title is an obvious give-away about this mix. Over the past few years there has been a resurgence of fine acoustic music. Whether it's Xela adding acoustic guitar to his glitchy sound or Swod using large doses of piano combined with electronics, acoustic instruments have made for some incredibly beautiful albums recently.I wanted to do an acoustic mix then decided to [...]

No Title

Brian Eno - Ambient 1 (Music for Airports) Interesting Video clip of Brian Eno talking about creating Music For Airports. I love that album.

Re-Posting of Tea Time at Brian Eno's House

Re-Posting of Tea Time at Brian Eno's House Switchpod, the company that hosts my audio files, just gave me an extra 250mb of storage space for free! So I decided to re-post one of my favorite mixes that was lost during the crash. The mix is "Tea Time At Brian Eno's House". I just listened to it recently & realized all over again just how amazing it really is. This mix deserves to be heard so I'm re-posting it so anyone who missed it the first time can download it now. [...]

Guitar Treatments

Guitar Treatments Finally a new mix. Just like the piano mix, this one is fairly obvious from the uncreative title. All the tunes are guitar based instrumentals, ranging from the floating ambience of Manual to the treated pickings of John Fahey. It helps to limit my choices, so most of the selections are fairly recent releases. Drop me a note if you enjoy [...]

Days Dissolve Mix

Days Dissolve Mix After the server crash I wanted to get a new mix up as soon as possible. However, this new mix is actually an old mix. It's the first one I made using an MP3 mixer. Unfortunately, because it's old I don't have a tracklisting anymore. I know some of the artists in the mix are Xela, Max Richter, Egocentric, William Basinski and Kettel. I wish I could remember more of what is in there. [...]

Currently Playing

Currently Playing This is what I've been listening to recently... Jonathan Coleclough - Period - very minimal piano The Gentleman Losers - st - great post-rock-ish moody guitar pieces Loscil - Plume - absolutely gorgeous Manual - Bajamar - more ambient guitar washes from Manual, not [...]

Server crash

Server crash There hasn't been much activity here lately, mostly because I haven't posted any new mixes. But for anyone who has tried to download any of the mixes recently, I'm sure you've noticed that they're not there. Well, that's because there was a major system crash at Swtchpod, where the files are hosted. I'll try to re-upload one or two of the mixes. Then hopefully put up some new ones.

Winter Is Blue

Winter Is Blue Here it is, the first mix available for download. It's called "Winter Is Blue" and runs about 65 minutes. It's a continous mix, so it's one large mp3. The tracklisting gives approximate transition times. UPDATE - I had to take this mix off the server to make room for new ones. If you'd like a CD copy of this mix just email me. I'd be glad to send one out. [...]

Quiet Night, Quiet Stars

Quiet Night, Quiet Stars Here's another stargazing mix. Just like " Tea Time At Eno's House ", this was created for stargazing in northern Wisconsin. Because I have so much music that would be considered "space" music, I decided to narrow the search by using songs that had appropriate terms in the titles. So words like star, sky, moon & night come up a lot. Just to keep things interesting I threw in a few vocal tunes as well. I hope you all enjoy it. [...]

Piano Mix

Piano Mix The title is an obvious give-away about this mix. Over the past few years there has been a resurgence of fine acoustic music. Whether it's Xela adding acoustic guitar to his glitchy sound or Swod using large doses of piano combined with electronics, acoustic instruments have made for some incredibly beautiful albums recently. I wanted to do an acoustic mix then decided to narrow it further by concentrating on piano tunes, some acoustic, some electronic, some romantic, [...]
