imaginary soundtracks | The tracks collected here just sort of had that "soundtrack" feel when I first heard them. I imagined a scene from a film with the tune as the soundtrack. The tracklist then becomes a set of "imaginary soundtracks." | 2/23/12 | Free | View In iTunes |

dubby & dreamy | . Ambient dub, minimal dub, ambi-dub, whatever you want to call it, is something that I listen to every now 8 then. I like making mixes with this music because the tracks flow so well together. I've done three previous dub mixes and while they are all laid back, this one may be more so. It collects some dubby cuts 8 weaves in some noise 8 washes of field recordings from the fantastic ambi-dub recording, "DeepChord presents Echospace - Liumin." The bonus cd for that album is all the field recordings that were the source material for the tracks on the other disc. Not all the cuts are straight up dub tracks, but they do all fit together nicely. Almost all the tracks are new with the exception of the krill.minima 8 Plastikman tunes. Enjoy.

starry starry night | "I, the fiery life of divine essence, am aflame beyond the beauty of the meadows, I gleam in the waters, and I burn in the sun, moon and stars." - Hildegard von Bingen Electronic 8 ambient music seems perfectly suited for stargazing. So you really could use just about any ambient mix for night sky viewing and it will work just fine. But sometimes it's nice to do a mix specifically geared towards astronomical awe. It's always interesting to see how the song titles match the theme of the mix. Sometimes I pick tunes precisely because the titles match but most of the time it's accidental. In this mix we have titles like "Alpha Centauri", "Polaris", "After Midnight", "One Starry Starry Night" and "Encounter in an unexplored nebula." As usual the music is a mix of old 8 new, with most tunes being from the last couple years. I was happy to sneak in an old track from Jean-Michel Jarre. Different from his normal berlin-school stuff, this one is a nice long ambient cut from 1990. As with a lot of stargazing mixes, this one works well as a sleep mix too. I can testify to it's effectiveness. On a side note...thanks to anyone who voted for Low Light Mixes in the Mixcloud best of 2011 poll. We came in 78th. Doesn't sound like much but considering they have thousands of "cloudcasters", coming 78th was great. Thanks for all your support last year 8 over the last 6 years.

Launch of Curiosity | This past Saturday NASA launched the Mars Science Laboratory known as "Curiosity" on a 9 month journey to the planet Mars. As I was watching video of the launch, I was thinking about music that would work well with a launch 8 space voyage. I quickly collected some appropriate tune 8 cranked out this mix at escape velocity speed. The tracks are all electronic/electronica cuts that I thought seem to fit the theme. As it turns out, many of the tunes have titles that are perfect for a mix like this. Titles such as "Towards Unknown Space", "Solar Sailer", "Born to Fire", "Your Wings Make You Fly" and of course "Phobos 8 Deimos Go To Mars". That "Phobos 8 Deimos" tracks was one of my absolute favorite tracks in college. I had a clear vinyl version of the Synergy album "Cords". There aren't going to be too many times that I can sneak that cut into a mix so I'm glad I got that one in here. The NASA audio is all from the actual launch of the Curiosity Mars rover mission. In the coming months maybe I'll do "Flight of Curiosity" 8 "Curiosity Lands" mixes.

Shadowland | When I set out to do this mix I wasn't sure what direction it would take. Would it be noisy, scary ambient drones? As I was looking through my music I came across "The Twin Peaks Archive" by David Lynch & Angelo Badalamenti. I thought, now there is some dark-ish music that would be cool to use in a Halloween mix. Three Twins Peaks tunes made it into the final mix & helped establish a sort of film noir feel. There are definite dissonant moments but hopefully the mix is more creepy & shadowy rather than outright scary & annoying. | 10/26/11 | Free | View In iTunes |

future days | This has more beats than a normal low light mix, more of an electronica sound. I think it has a nice mix of old & new material. The oldest cuts are from Can, Eno & Earthstar, 1973, 1975 & 1981 respectively. In the middle we have the Casino Versus Japan cut from 1999 & the Aspen track from 2000. Then there are a few newer tunes like the ones from Tobacco & Maps & Diagrams. | 9/12/11 | Free | View In iTunes |

graceful silence | This is a mix that uses silence as much as music to convey a peaceful feeling. I looked for tracks that had definite valleys between the peaks of synth washes or long pauses between piano chords and then I let the mix take off from there. | 7/28/11 | Free | View In iTunes |

Customer Reviews
Great Music
I happened to catch this podcast on Podbean.com and have really enjoyed the various mixes. I was so happy to find this on Itunes. So far "Gravity" is my favorite. I find myself listening to it over and over. Please keep up the good work. I love listening to this while I am at work as well. Really makes the time fly by.
i could die to this music
I was going to just write something short and clever to express my delight in this podcast. But pith aside, here's the truth: This is one in a million stuff. I've searched the web for the last 3 years for something this good, that is, A.Mixed B.Never deviates from the creators thoughtfull investment. C.Is long and copious. I am psychonaught, and as one need long playing music I can TRUST. This is it. Alot of it is, dare I say, sacred music. In that it transposes you to realms of pure reverie, and never once asks you to swallow an ounce of bile...this is important because if you may find yourslf in a delicate situation that needs to be worked through whilst on your psychonaughtic journey, and that's the last time you would want the "DJ" to toss in some of his personal anger. If what I'm saying makes any sense to you, then dont miss out on this music. It's the very best of banishing and invoking simultaniously! Note to the creator of this podcast: We enjoy the personal expalnations and track listings very much! Please dont stop providing that, thanks!
