Secret Chords and Apparitions (Mix)

Visual Ambient

 

 

Imagine yourself in deep sleep. Very deep sleep.

Unaware of your surroundings, unable to control images built from memories, unable to distinguish your dreams from impressions originating from the outside world.

At times, following a gentle sleep cycle, your consciousness slowly raises – almost up to the point of waking up. At these moments, the outside world is more perceptible, you’re vaguely aware of what’s happening around you.

But not for long, because you gradually sink back to the realm of subconscious deep sleep.

This mix was created in november, 2010. It was ‘premiered’ on Fluid Radio Mixcloud

    Question regarding CUE-sheets:

    While Alexander’s file seems to work perfectly with FOOBAR2000 (which seems to handle CUE-sheets best), I cannot get it to work with Winamp and/or VLC Media Player. I have tried rearranging and indenting lines, but it keeps showing the different titles but not playing them (skipping immediately to the end of the file).

    Anyone here has got any suggestions as to getting the CUE sheets to work with these players? Thanks in advance..

    It was nice of you to include fragile pitches on your secret chords and apparitions stream. A nice collection all round!

    A nice mix for cold, late nights.
