Wave (mix)


Frozen

 

“Wave” is the first of a two part an auditive “guided fantasy” (“Ring” being the second part).
A mix of ambient music, soundscapes and other musical surprises, created in 2006.
No track is played completely, but the interaction of the fragments creates a completely new structure…. Which, in fact, is true for all ambient mixes of course…

These two mixes were part of a 4-hour radio broadcast that were thematically related to Icelandic music. At least: the first and the last were mostly. The first of these four programs was a compilation of the (magnificent) album ‘Spellewauerynsherde‘ by Akira Rabelais, the fourth part was a compilation of music from Iceland.

I guess it’s safe to assume that this also probably is the first (and possibly single) ambient music collage containing Venetian Snares music!
(read more for complete paylist)

The four parts were called “Spelle“, “Wave“, “Ring” and “Sharde“, which together is also the full title of Akira Rabelais’ “Spellewauerynsherde” album. Tracks and fragments of this album are present throughout all four programs.
(The first and fourth part are not included here because they are not really ‘ambient mixes’).

In the two mixes presented here, the relation to Iceland may be a difficult to hear in the music, but there’s more-than-average Icelandic artists involved 🙂

BTW – the pictures chosen here are from Helga Kvam. No one ever captured the mysterious Icelandic nature better than she does.

I t was beautiful, but I was so scared…because… I heard that voice first, but then I remembered that I don’t know my mother… But that voice – it’s really….that voice is my mother’s voice”. from “Vuka!

    Greetings from Mongolia. I liked the mix. I liked the Weeping Camel part in the middle. I got a laugh out of the repeated “ahh”s. The mixes in October are really good.

    Thanks for your comment. It’s a very strange idea that the mixes are heard even in Mongolia. I’m very proud of that!!
    The Weeping Camel part in this mix comes from the soundtrack of the Weeping Camel movie. I wonder if you have seen that movie, is it known in Mongolia?
    The ‘repeated ahh’s’ are part of that movie soundtrack, it is in fact a very moving scene, but heard out of context it creates a strange effect that seems unrelated to the heartbreaking camel sounds.
    I’m glad you enjoyed this and the other mixes!
