Though the title of Arve Henriksen’s opening track (Stille Veg, Quiet Road) was the working title for this mix, I finally decided to call it “Invisible Ink” – referring to the quote from Laurie Anderson’s track from “Homeland”, which may describe the confused global state (and – if you wish – the political state of Holland in particular):
Was the Constitution written in visible ink?
Has everybody here forgotten how to think?
Is this great big boat starting to … sink?”
But apart from this, this journey along the ‘Stille Veg’ may present some interesting encounters – some dark and mysterious, others enchanting and optimistic…

Lovely, really enjoyed this one. Nicely put together.
Thank you very much for including Dedicated Records artists in this mix. We greatly appreciate it! 🙂
I just wanted to send you a quick ‘thank you’ for including my piece ‘Leaves and Piano’ in your Invisible Ink mix. It is a beautiful mix, and i’m honored to have been included! I enjoy your blog very much, and have found many wonderful artists though it!
If it is of interest to you, I keep a very simple archive of all my works through blogspot~

Thanks again Peter! Keep up such wonderful work!
😉
Best wishes,

Hi Peter,
Would just like to say a quick thanks for including Darren Harper’s ‘Momentary’ from the Audio Gourmet Netlabel.
This is a superb mix and it’s great to hear Darren’s work in amongst this collection of similarly fantastic tracks
Cheers,
Harry
Audio Gourmet
die mixen zijn goeoeoed trouwens, kudos 🙂
erg knappe mix
Just discovered this ever-so-slightly eerie ambient mix. Well worth a listen.
brilliant mix. Listened to it twice today. THANK YOU!
a perfect afternoon in the warm, sunny garden, listening to the sometimes slightly disturbing mix. Or is it because of the title? thanks Peter, it was worth waiting for!
I guess it’s not the title, but the hovering flies you obviously mistook for angels…. 🙂
Just thought I would send a message to let you know that I enjoy reading your blog and that I absolutely LOVE the Invisible Ink Mix. Great job compiling that. Very enjoyable and inspiring.
Keep up the great work! Oh and I agree with you completely about M. Ostermeier
Hello Simon: if you have downloaded the MP3 file you will find the tracklist (including timing) in the comment field, and also in the lyrics field making it possible to scroll the info while playing the track using the default iPhone audio player.These fields can also be viewed using iPeng.
The URL tag contains a link to ambientblog.net – containing a graphic image of the mix.
Thanks for your comment!
After becoming a bit worried i was not going to like this during the wind instrument intro but I loved it. Well done and thanks.
With your mixes I am alway vey eager to know who made the track I am listening to at any particular point. I remember you said that embedded cue files would not work due to the complexity of the mixes.
I’m almost certain this isn’t possible either but it would be useful if one of the file’s tags (comment tag?) could include a hypertext link to the information about the mix (on Ambient blog?), or failing that the info itself.
I use iPeng on my IPhone as the controller/viewer (if this makes any difference).
Again, thanks for your great mixes.
Nice collection. Good to see fellow Seattle musician Carl Sagan’s Ghost gettting a nod.
