Another great ambient mix from Daniel Hawkins, who says this:
Claude Debussy once wrote: “The music is not in the notes, but in the silence between them”, suggesting that music's emotional impact, beauty, and expression come from the pauses and spacing between sounds. The first thing I think of is Eno’s classic Music for Airports - man did I fall in love with that album. Roach’s Dream Circle comes to mind - low and slow - the music just seems to breathe. Of course you have the steady state drone stuff from Grassow and friends, which I like - but there is no real structure - that’s the point I guess. I tried to pick work for this mix that had at least a bit of melody, but plenty of silence to define the notes. There is a sweet spot that when achieved sends me at least into a deep peaceful space. I’m thinking we all need to spend some time in that space these days to recharge and nurture our sanity. Hoping this mix might help with that my friends.
