If you check the oldest posts on this blog, you’ll find that they were posted on October, 21, 2005. So hey… it’s the 20th anniversary of Ambientblog today!! An appropriate time for a bit of retrospection – ánd a few celebration gifts!
After publishing many ambient mix-collages I decided to challenge myself. How would a mix combining ambient soundscapes and classical music work out?
My contribution to close the 8-hour ambient music night on Winter Solstice (December 21, 2024), broadcast on Concertzender Nederland
My 2-hour contribution to the fifth edition of the 8 hour Winter Solstice broadcast on Concertzender Nederland.
‘In Praise of the Saddest Chord’: all of the tracks in this mix are in D-minor, which is said to be ‘the saddest chord’.
This 2-hour mix is my contribution to the fourth 8-hour edition of Winter Solstice on Concertzender Nederland. All fragments and samples in this mix are “in C”.
A two-hour mix with a (somewhat) lighter mood…. I really hope you’ll enjoy watching these -imaginary- clouds!
Apart from its opening sample – ‘It is time to stop seeing. It is time to stop speaking. It is time to listen’, from David Cronenberg’s Crimes Of the Future – this mix has no central theme or story. It’s up to you, the listener, to take the time to listen and go with the flow.
An introduction mix of the two benefit compilations For Ukraine 1 & 2, curated by Headphone Commute and Hollie Kenniff.
A two-hour long mix – my contribution to the third edition of the (8-hour long) Winter Solstice broadcast on Concertzender Nederland. Be sure to sit back, relax, and forget about time.
Just imagine yourself sitting in a local bar at the end of the day. A bit tired, your head full of thoughts. The murmuration of the people around you slowly gets blurry as you drift off. Your thoughts begin to wander, memories are mixed with fantasies and places you never even visited. Until now.
This mix is simply named after the podcast it was created for: Joseph Aleo’s SoundWave.
It is a happy coincidence that it literally starts with ‘waves’ – and ends with the same waves morphing into the sound of a cheering crowd. This mix (hopefully) shows that it can be rewarding to take a moment’s rest to really listen and let the sounds affect you.
