I am pleased to announce my 2008 Summer mix podcast (1hr05min, 74.9Mb MP3) of original music for your consideration. It’s equal parts reflective, chilled-out, lazy. A suitable soundtrack for your morning cuppa, yard and crafting projects, reading on the couch, afternoon coding sessions and breezy evenings on the front porch.
Track order:
- Lost Things (Cascade dub)
- La Palma (1984 CIA Factbook mix)
- BASIC language
- Departure Lounge, Pan-Am
- 3mb (2008 Tabla revisit)
- Circular Object (Sunset Island dub)
- Dexu (2008 defenestration)
- Aguadulce
I have uploaded a mix of recent original music (1hr19min, 90.61 Mb MP3) for your consideration.
Track order:
- Book of Morvern
- Chthonic (min)
- Meshed
- Agmatist (S&S dub)
- Loaded (acid vs. mix)
- Little iniquities
- Disco drift

- Helial II
- Paths of Unintention
Bonus outtakes (13.8 MB zip archive):
- Tight house - has more variation in the original that didn’t export
- Untitled (2008-02-03) - didn’t fit well in the overall mix
In recent weeks, I’ve been rediscovering the state of minimal techno and micro house music. (Aside from playing in the background while I work, I don’t actively listen to much dance music these days.) Doing so makes me want to strip down my device chains in Live to focus more on each individual part. Looking back, I had a tendency with my early music to mask my inexperience by over complicating the mix. This led to a sculptural, effects heavy, wall-of-sound approach (which I still like). But, simplicity —i.e. making things simple(r)—has been my mantra in recent years. I expect more reflections of this trend in my audio and visual work.
