Autumnal Auras

Inspired by autumn-induced feelings I’ve felt this year - this is an imagined soundtrack for my strolls around New York, afternoon subway rides to visit friends in Brooklyn and Queens, or trots down to the record store. I thought recording on an all-analog setup would add some additional warmth to the occasion.

Among others, I selected Gato Barbieri’s Andean Vidala about the traveling musician, Gil Scott-Heron’s ode to the connecting power of music inspired by his Midnight Band performance on a racetrack in Marseille, the hypnosis of Ahmad Jamal’s “Lament” alongside Idris Muhammed, and beautifully rhythmic house tracks from Kerri Chandler, Vick Lavender, Glenn Underground, and St. Germain.
