Josh, from Nocturne Records, requested a Halloween mix.
At first I was reluctant because I'm not a big fan of dark ambient. I've never really cared for Lustmord records, although I do have "The Place Where Black Stars Hang." While I do have a fair amount of drone music I don't like dissonant drones.
When I set out to do this mix I wasn't sure what direction it would take. Would it be noisy, scary ambient drones? As I was looking through my music I came across "The Twin Peaks Archive" by David Lynch & Angelo Badalamenti. I thought, now there is some dark-ish music that would be cool to use in a Halloween mix.Three Twins Peaks tunes made it into the final mix & helped establish a sort of film noir feel. There are definite dissonant moments but hopefully the mix is more creepy & shadowy rather than outright scary & annoying.
It was fun putting this together and I'm looking forward to making this an annual ritual.

autumn in slow motion

Thursday Oct 13, 2011
It hasn't felt much like autumn around here, with temps in the 70's & 80's the last week or two. But the leaves are still falling and before you know it we'll have snow flying.
So I figured now is as good a time as any to publish this new mix, "Autumn in Slow Motion." This is a fairly straight forward mix with a nice blend of old & new tracks. As you can tell all the tracks have the word "autumn" or " leaves" in the title. I'm pretty sure I've used the track by Eluder, "Autmun Hips", before but I just had to include it again because it's absolutely beautiful.
Normally I don't use my own pics for these posts, but the last two have been Low Light originals. This one was taken last fall on a photo hike through a nature park in my neighborhood. If you shoot a ton of pix one or two are bound to turn out.
Enjoy.
