Winter Solstice 6 (Mix)

 

 

The Winter Solstice Ambient Night on Concertzender Nederland has become a yearly tradition: this is the sixth edition already of the 8-hour ambient music night presented by four of their radio show hosts.
Like in all previous editions, I’m honored to close the night with a two-hour collage. My contribution is presented here, but for those interested the complete night will remain available on-demand from the Concertzender Nederland website.

Other than you might expect, this mix is not intended to make you sleep. On the contrary: the challenge is to keep you awake in these last two hours of this ambient music night. Which will probably be quite hard if you’re listening in real time.
As usual, only very few tracks are played in full here. Most are fragments, sometimes samples, taken from much longer pieces (which you can check out using the list below).
This time, the overall key of this mix is E-Minor.
