The first time I used music from Altus (https://altusmusic.bandcamp.com/album/home) in a mix was 10 yrs ago. I've been a fan ever since. Altus is Mike Carss, who also records as Loneward. I've used Mike's music in 10 mixes.
Mike says - "Our brains are mysterious machines when you regard how memory works. If you listen to new music & it causes you to sit up & take notice, there's a chance that moment in time will encode itself into the soundwaves. With each repeated listen, you can reinforce that, recording fragments of those periods of time. No matter how long a time gap, if you listen to that song again, you can enjoy the memories. Even more interesting is when you listen to new music & it unearths nostalgia within you.
The final track in this mix, written by me (Loneward), is my way of expressing both these phenomena. Each song (aside from the final track) has deep meaning to me. I'm happy to be able to share them with you."
