In Praise of the Saddest Chord (Mix)
‘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’.

Time To Listen (Mix)
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.
Winter Solstice 3 (Mix)
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.
Ambient Daydream (mix)
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.
SoundWave (Mix)
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.
Winter Solstice 2 (Mix)
Music for long winter nights: my 2-hour mix contribution to the “Winter Solstice 2020” ambient music broadcast on Concertzender Nederland.
(Also available in DTS surround)
Lockdown (Mix)
I tried to find another name (and image) for this mix, but it seems that only one title remained appropriate at this time.
Music for worrying times…
Winter Solstice (Mix)
A two-hour mix for the longest night: Winter Solstice. To be played (and hopefully enjoyed) in the deepest darkness.
“Dream All The Dark Away” …
Radical Candor (Mix)
The mix title, Radical Candor, comes from the (management) philosophy that argues that feedback (on behaviour) is most effective if it is ‘challenging’ but at the same time shows that you ‘care’.
I felt there was a resemblance: the mix is ‘caring’ at times but can also be quite ‘challenging’ to the listener. At least, that was my intention. Now you decide.
