Below are a set of short mixes that I made back in, oh, I don't know... 1997?
I burned a few onto disc for a couple of friends back then, but I never really made a mass release of them.
 |
These were soundtracks to my Public Access show up here in Seattle, which only ran for 6 months.
The show consisted of 30 minutes of ambient music below a still video shot of a scene which had some heavy serenity to it.
Pretty much just an excuse to get quiet music on television.
This included such images as a spiderweb in the wind and leaves rustling on a tree by a path.

Tribe was played while a gorgeous sun set over mountains behind the city.
Cat was played during while my cat sleeped on my bed. He moved, once.
Waterfall was played as Snoqualmie Falls came splashing down.
Web was played to the motions of that spider web I mentioned.
Inlet was played to the deep rippling of a polite island cove.
All the rest are new additions to the group, trying to overshadow their older brethren.

Interesting pseudo-tribal music overlayed by a Hopi Indian story (which is told by a white man, I'm afraid).
This one's a little on the uppity side for me, but it makes a very good driving tape.

I have a damn cool cat.

Some ambitious little spider left a web hanging outside on my porch.

Beautiful day, sun on river flowing through rocks, barefoot, balancing.

For a while, Hyperreal had itself a RealAudio server, where I put them in the hope of fluffing up the global beauty that is the Internet.
But oh... that was then...
Fortunately... I have the privelege to play them, now and then, on my 24/7 MPEG stream, Sleepbot Environmental Broadcast.
As always, please let me know what you think!.
