Sounds of Spellborn
When The Chronicles of Spellborn was released early 2009, I decided to create a special mix from a selection of the sound and music that comes with it.

Dream Calibration
Nonstop Ambient Montage: from Alva Noto to Arvo Pärt, via Arve Henriksen and Jacaszek, with short stops at Christopher Bissonnette, Entia Non, Kraken, Goldmund, and many, many others.
Utsura – Utsura
“Utsura-Utsura” is a japanese expression indicating the ‘fluctuation between alert wakefulness and a state of half-sleep’. This is exactly what this hour-long mix is about: between being awake and half asleep.
True
Like it’s companion mix (“Strange Birds”, published last week) this mix was also broadcast in April 2008. It’s a further walk in the same landscape. Sometimes the tension may rise somewhat, but the view remains spectacular.
Strange Birds
The spring-like chatter in Christina Kubisch’ “Tea Time (Autumn Leaves Mix)” evokes a strange and hypnotic landscape sometimes unnerving, sometimes comforting.
Allegaar
Just like the previous mix (“Leftover Mix”), this mix has no special theme, it’s just a collection of tracks mixed together fairly randomly.
The Leftover Mix
Though the title may give the impression that this mix consists of ‘second choice music’, that is definitely nót the case!
Ring
“Ring” is the second part of the two part auditive “guided fantasy” (“Wave” being the first part). A mix of ambient music, soundscapes and other musical surprises.

Beautiful Companions: Dakota Suite
This beautiful sad music is clearly not meant to brighten up your day. But it might soothe your sadness with rays of hope shining through empathic, understanding themes and fabulous cello sounds.
