A series of (more or less) cinematic mixes/collages published on Ambientblog.net. Non-stop layered immersion created from fragments and samples of ambient/electronic/experimental (and related) music.
After publishing many ambient mix-collages (87 and counting!), I decided to challenge myself. What if I combined ambient soundscapes and classical music? Would that work out? This proved to be more difficult than I expected. It proved to be much easier to combine abstract atmospheric music than ambient music with 'program music' like classical. It proved even more difficult when choosing from 'classical classical' music such as baroque music, polyphonic choir music, or music from the absolute giants (Bach, Beethoven, Mozart, etc.). Maybe because I definitely wanted to retain an introspective atmosphere, but also include some 'tension - release dynamics' to avoid the mix becoming too 'easy listening'.With only two exceptions, the 'classical' fragments come from contemporary composers. Also, this mix features fewer layers playing simultaneously (compared to my previous mixes). In that respect, this is more like a 'mix-tape' than a 'collage'. All titles used in this mix are fragments, only small parts of the original compositions. So: if you hear something you like (and I hope you do), please check out the original.
