Summer ending

Originally published at Bevilacqua.us.

This has been one of the most spiritual summers I can remember, yet, I have only participated in a few large ceremonies. It was through my actions though, my daily actions, that I consider this to be one of the most spiritual times of my life.

As is with any spiritual ceremony commencement, there is a sharing period at the end. Since I already share with my journal at spirituality.bevilacqua.us now, I figured I’d share with music instead.

This is a mix I made for a friend of Elizabeth’s. She was over one day when I had Kettel’s Volleyed Iron playing on the speakers in the house. She was interested, so much so she brought it up a second time when I had forgot to answer her question a few weeks later. Yes, could this be a new true ambient fan? I sure hope so. And I hope this mix puts her on the right path.

I did this mix with that intention. I also did this mix with other meditations in mind, some very deeply spiritual, some worldly and chaotic. This is also the first time I’ve ever used Audacity to mix an entire release. No need for a mixing board, just my Gentoo Linux laptop and headphones. Some of this was completed out in my backyard using the wifi while smoking my pipe. Can’t beat that work environment.

Thanks for the link. As soon as you get it back online, I'll download it. I recognize several of those tracks... good ones indeed.

Back online now. Apparently, I only loose power at my home for entire evenings when I post new mixes. :-O

hey time,

what do you use for your 'seamless' mixin'? Just curious. Glad you had a nice summer.

For this mix, I used Audacity, which was the first time.

Normally I do it via analogue mixer, headphones and two sources.

Is this something which still exists somewhere? I'd love to hear it.

I've put it back into place. I tend to remove the larger files after a period of time. I suppose I shouldn't do that hehe :)

Enjoy it. I have another I'm working on that's soon to come out that should compliment what you are about to listen to. It will be posted on my blog when I release it.
