Mix d'Ameublement!

A new series of digital DJ mixes is starting here on "Hush! Caution! Echoland!" today. At this point, I'd call these mixes contemplative and textural, something like sonic wallpapers. But things may change. Who knows? I hope I can keep it up for a long time.

If you like slowly evolving themes & sounds, low frequencies & volumes mixed with rhythmic patterns, deep pulses, flowing or static sound surfaces, "Hush! Caution! Echoland!" may be a place to bookmark for you.


These are "real" mixes, performed live using effects like filters, delays and granulators. Tracks are cut out & in again, played simultaneously and contrasted with other tracks. A good portion of the music featured here are my own works - complete pieces & single tracks extracted from productions in my archives.

The rest of the material is drawn from a wide variety of genres & styles: Electronic, Avantgarde/New Music, Pop/Rock, Dance/Club Music, Ethnic and Field Recordings, Spoken Words. You like to be surprised? Please be my guest.

The first installment is "Malachus Micgranes' Teahouse #1" - right, the start of a series in a series - presenting my idea of 21st century Teahouse Music. Especially good with a pot of shaded green Kabusecha.
