A classic ambientblog mix, that for some reason never made it to the Mixcloud collection. This is part one of two.
Over time, this has proven to be one of the most popular mixes, especially for listeners that were not exactly familiar to ambient/electronic music. It is indeed one of the more accessible - which does nót necessarily mean this is 'easy listening'. Do nót expect 'New Age' music, despite some whale-, cricket- and other sounds of nature: at times the layers of sounds are dark and threatening, maybe even confronting. There's always the dynamic range between tension and release. The quiet piano sounds of John Cage and Arvo Pärt surround a broad spectrum of auditive landscapes. Inbetween, sometimes 'ordinary' pop-songs define the theme, like Paul Simon's 'Quiet':"I am heading for a time of quiet / When my restlessness is past / And I can lie down on my blanket / And release my fists at last".
