electronic listening music, weird

It’s Just Sound

sounds from the new millennium that are everything our great grandparents feared music of the future would sound like. spacey ecletronic sounds, irregular beats and bizarre vocals ebb and flow like sonic overload over an ambient landscape.
not real music, definitely unreal music.

Becoming Invisible

that fine balance between laid back and lo down, anxiety-ridden and hi tension, need and want, overpowering intensity and strung out bliss. that feeling one gets when they are becoming invisible.

Whither Canada?

for the 100th mix on my site i decided to try something completely different. as a life long Monty Python fan i have always been enthralled by how they segue from one obtuse sketch to the next. here i try to emulate that by using great music, weird spoken word segments and a healthy dose of silly bits. watch The Luv Of Music to witness the creation of this mix.
