For that lonely night, alone in your room, when something just doesn't feel right in the world.
Electronic minimalism that slowly shifts into acoustic minimalism.

tracklist
| 1 | Neina : Iris-In |
|
A muddy, forlorn electronic ambience that really sets the mood for rest of the mixtape. The electronic pulses and waves of sound repeat again and again, rolling all over each other, really setting up one of those moods that can only be achieved in the late hours of the night.

| 3 | Tim Hecker : I'm Transmitting Tonight |
|
Beautiful proof that static or distortion can be amazingly effective when properly incorporated into brooding electronic minimalism. There is an easily discernible melody that is fantastically enhanced by the scratchy effects, as though you were hearing this on some ancient radio from another time.

| 5 | DMX Krew : Aurora |
|
The listener starts to really understand the sound theme of this mixtape. The songs paradoxically seem both close and distant to the listener, especially here.

| 6 | Hammock : Birds Flying in Sequence |
|
The soft electronica begins to slowly shift into the acoustic soundscape that will make up the second half of the mixtape. Both halves of the theme are effective in their own ways, and this song bridges them together perfectly.

Looks great. Big fan of Tim Hecker and Mono, and what little I've heard of Hammock has been very nice as well.

I don't know any of this music, I never explored minimalism further than Steve Reich and John Adams, but I enjoyed the descriptions enough to try some of it.
