Live mix: Feb. 10, 2008
And so, finally - here's the second mix from my "HCE" series. It's a rather airy and flutey affair with some noisy excursions, inspired by episodes from Master Francis Rabelais' fantastic and preposterous epic "Five Books of the Lives, Heroic Deeds and Sayings of Gargantua and his Son Pantagruel".
You will find Takemitsu and Feldman here, a nice ditty by Aphex Twin spiced up with the voice of Aleister Crowley, a piece by electronic pioneer Franca Sacchi from Italy, a lengthy Sho solo by Mayumi Miyata and some perfectly static Gamelan music from Java. All glued together and modelled with music & sounds from me.
The first segment is structured after and uses samples from Peter Szöke's "The Unknown Music Of Birds". On this LP, the Hungarian musico-ornithologist reveals hidden aspects of birdsong via tape-manipulation. Fascinating. I'll post it in the "Closet of Curiosities" soon.
Enjoy the journey.
By the way: listener feedback is welcome and appreciated. If you downloaded the first mix, "Malachus Micgranes Teahouse #1", please leave a comment - how you liked it, and whatnot.

Thanks for this one, hope you get more comments. You efforts are appreciated
I really dig those mixes you've done. I've been listening to it on headhones in the subway, as well as on my hi-fi set, with great pleasure whatsoever. Totally dreamy and ear-catching ambient music thanks to various interesting sounds (the sho is great, the Feldman piano is beautiful) and a very clever mix. Great!

Wow, two comments! Thanks, Geoff & Tony.
Wouldn't it be a nice idea to play something like this on trains, via a PA system?
I was surprised how well Feldman's "Why Patterns?" fit into the mix.
BTW, I'm continously looking for pieces to use in my mixes, especially pieces with voices & songs. So if you got any suggestions, please post them here in the comments section.
Oh good gracious! Wonderful mixes, I must say! Keep up the work, I`ll be following this blog from now on :) You are always welcome to use my music on the mixes, that`d be awesome. Oh yes, I put some new stuff on my blog aswell. And the picture on a better resolution as you requested. Enjoy!
Beautiful mixes - thank you!
