I started thinking about this mix listening to the new Deaf Center release. Layers of strings create a beautiful, melancholy experience. That pretty much describes the rest of the music in this mix. All of the music in this mix is new, either 2007 or 2008, except for the Andrew Deutsch cut which is from 2005(although it is new to me). Artists include Deaf Center, Stars of the Lid, Jasper TX, MWVM, Svarte Greiner, Bersarin Quartet and more. - Source Site:http://lowlightmixes.blogspot.com/ Sat, 05 Jul 2008 19:54:03 -0500 http://lowlightmixes.podbean.com/medias/web/aHR0cDovL21lZGlhMi5wb2RiZWFuLmNvbS8xOTc4OC91L3JldHJvYWN0XzFfcG9pbnRfMC5tcDM/retroact_1_point_0.mp3 All the music in this mix, retroact 1.0, is at least 10 years old. Structures from Silence is from 1984! The Aphex Twin cut is from 1994. I cheated with a couple of tracks, such as Tollefson & Vidna/Pearce, that are from 1999. Other ambient artists included are Saul Stokes, Thom Brennan, Biosphere, Brian Eno and more.

I captured sounds from the parade, hastily editing down the hour-long event to 20 minutes.

I love repetition in music–-music that uses the constant repetition of notes or themes or sounds as a basic structure to the composition. I wanted to put together a mix where all of the pieces used repetition as a major part of the cut. I also wanted to use pieces that had an “ambient” feel to them but that also were bright or upbeat. The title of the mix was inspired by the movie Tron. light cycles starts out fairly slow and quiet but becomes more vibrant as it goes along. Near the end it almost rocks out with an amazing piece I stumbled across by Can. The Can piece Future Days uses repetition to great effect. This piece is also cool because it was done back in 1973 but still sounds amazingly contemporary. I hope you enjoy light cycles. Like the last several mixes it is somewhat of a departure from the typical ambient drift and drone but I think it still evokes “ambient-ness” throughout the piece.

Tracklist is too large for posting here but it's a similiar style of MILF WEED (http://colonelmustardrecords.com/DJHDD/WEED/). It's a challenging bombardment of disembodied voices over ambient music, taken from the acid generation of the 50's & 60's. Starting off with Albert's Bicycle Ride, an audio representation of his accidental ingestion of Lysergic Acid Diethylamide, we hear the sound of him peddling his bike towards the very first LSD psychedelic trip. Sounding like the bastard offspring of the KLF & the Orb, they are ambient & sound representations of what it might be like tripping. Later in the mix we hear from Timothy Leary, Ken Kesey, students involved in the laboratory tests & various authoritative voice overs appropriated from that era. A Paranoid Bad Trip gets captured by the CIA; the Hallucination Generation goes into Hippie Revolt & a classroom of high school students show No Fear discussing taking LSD & those freaky chromosomes. Colors become complete in a Monogramatic World. American Military troops (normal soldiers) loose control & laugh senseless into Alice Trenton's long trip into Acidland. - Source Site:http://colonelmustardrecords.com/DJHDD/LSD/ Mon, 05 May 2008 08:31:33 -0500 http://www.yourinfamousharp.com im going to find them and punch them in the face. - Source Site:http://www.yourinfamousharp.com Mon, 28 Apr 2008 15:06:25 -0500 http://aaa-audio.blogspot.com/2007/04/delta-mix-experimentalchilltech.html tracklist: 1. mondfabrik - lluvia 2. monolake - bicom 3. lusine - autopilot 4. vesna - snow sences 5. vesna - desrt 6. p.r.o.m - hypnotized 7. unn - pictures 8. josh one - contemplation - fresh moods mix 9. syncromatic dubsters - suncloud 10. polar - inventour 11. polar - lectric 12. zen sauvage vs jason corder - sunken streetlights 13. eat static - caridwen 14. lusine - scheming 15. dabrye - hyped up plus tax - outputmessage mix 16. prefuse 73 - afternoon love in 17. icube - le dub 18. deviant electronics - silverside - Source Site:http://aaa-audio.blogspot.com Sun, 27 Apr 2008 12:40:07 -0500 http://www.riotcontrolnyc.com/RiotControl11.mp3 New mixtape on RiotControl, recorded live from Brooklyn with Burt Fox and Sonny Noir.

I used to love that style. The first electronic music that I bought was Tangerine Dream & Jean Michel Jarre. I liked both of those artists for a long time. Eventually I think I just became bored with that style of electronic music. Recently, however, I've been re-discovering some berlin-type music. It started with the latest Steve Roach release, Arc of Passion. I've been enjoying the album quite a bit so I dug up some other berlin school or nearly berlin tunes to throw into a mix. Of course there is a cut from Arc of Passion as well as another Roach tune, "Sundial", which I absolutely love. Add in some old T-Dream, Klaus Schulze, Richard Pinhas(3 tunes) and I'm good to go. The Tangerine Dream cuts are from an old cassette that I had of "Hyperborea" which I used to play constantly 10 to 15 years ago. The mix also includes Arp, Solvent, Detroit Escalator Co. & Robert Rich. - Source Site:http://lowlightmixes.blogspot.com/ Sat, 09 Feb 2008 18:52:57 -0600
