Miserere

“Miserere” has taken its name from the concluding piece: Gregoria Allegri’s Miserere, as performed by the Tallis Scholars. While working on this mix, I soon felt that this piece had to be the conclusion, and that it should not be combined with other pieces of music or environmental sounds.

Mark Tamea Mix

This mix is different from most previous mixes, in that it does not include many different artists, but concentrates on the music of one single artist: Mark Tamea. His music is a fascinating combination of electronics, environmental sounds, musique concrête, acoustical and modern classical music.

Dream Calibration

Nonstop Ambient Montage: from Alva Noto to Arvo Pärt, via Arve Henriksen and Jacaszek, with short stops at Christopher Bissonnette, Entia Non, Kraken, Goldmund, and many, many others.

Utsura – Utsura

“Utsura-Utsura” is a japanese expression indicating the ‘fluctuation between alert wakefulness and a state of half-sleep’. This is exactly what this hour-long mix is about: between being awake and half asleep.

True

Like it’s companion mix (“Strange Birds”, published last week) this mix was also broadcast in April 2008. It’s a further walk in the same landscape. Sometimes the tension may rise somewhat, but the view remains spectacular.

Strange Birds

The spring-like chatter in Christina Kubisch’ “Tea Time (Autumn Leaves Mix)” evokes a strange and hypnotic landscape sometimes unnerving, sometimes comforting.
