I wasn't planning on making a Halloween themed mix but a couple of days ago I heard a new album called "Xiuxiuejar" by Hekla and I knew I had to use some tracks in a mix. Hekla is an Icelandic musician who use the theremin to create haunting, other-worldly soundscapes. Perfect for a Halloween mix.
Some of the other tracks follow a similar vibe I have used for creepy mixes in the past, sort of a dark jazz feel. Then I mix in some noisy stuff, some ambient & some other oddities. I don't want these mixes to be ultra dark doom ambient but this is more off-kilter than most Low Light Mixes.

brilliant
So glad you enjoyed the spooky session!
Super selection Thanks
Thanks for checking out the mix!
wow
Thanks for listening!
Spooky fun! Definitely on the mellow side and not unnerving at all.
I'm glad it was not unnerving. It would be easy to just play some dark ambient drone crapola but I wanted something less doom & gloom so I'm glad this hit the spot for you. Cheers!
If you need a video of exquisite cow Bell playing, here's a link to an old SNL show hosted by Christopher Walken with musical guests Blue Ohster Cult, doing Don't Fear the Reaper. Trust me it will fix any cowbell PTSD. https://vimeo.com/425939085
Haha, I'm very familiar with this skit! I couldn't get it out of my head while editing the cow bell piece.
I always thought you would get to a therimen inspired mix....more therimen please! Or was that cow Bell?
I briefly thought about doing a mix featuring the Ondes Martenot which is the instrument used on the Christine Ott track and the Tindersticks track. But I think it would be a bit much. Your mention of cow bell gave me a bit of PTSD because a couple of weeks ago I edited video for a news story about a local guy that makes cow bells by hand. But somehow we had virtually no video of anyone playing a cow bell! Ugh
Great stuff...🎃
So glad you enjoyed the mix!
Amazing vibes and great session here 🎼🎧👍👍
Thanks for listening!
I LOVE IT. CONGRATS FROM MÉXICO 🇲🇽
So glad you liked the Halloween vibes!
Lovely stuff - creeping uneasiness ...
"Creeping Uneasiness" would be a good title for next year's mix. Thanks for listening & commenting. Cheers!
That will be a test of your memory!
