Winter Solstice 7
dimanche 21 décembre 2025 • Duration 01:59:57
Opus
mercredi 2 avril 2025 • Duration 53:32
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.

SoundWave
dimanche 4 avril 2021 • Duration 59:50
This mix is simply named after the podcast itself: SoundWave. It is a happy coincidence that it literally starts with 'waves' - sonically manipulated by Jos Smolders - and ends with the same waves morphing into the sound of a cheering crowd. Different kinds of soundwaves are all around us, every moment. Sometimes we're aware, most of the time we are not. This mix (hopefully) shows that it can be rewarding to take a moment's rest to really listen and let the sounds affect you. Thanks to Joseph Aleo for inviting me!More details, download and surround version here:https://www.ambientblog.net/blog/2021-04/soundwave-mix/

Winter Solstice 2
dimanche 20 décembre 2020 • Duration 01:59:16
This is my 2-hour contribution to the (7-hour) ambient music night on Concertzender Nederland radio, which was broadcast in the December 19-20 night. When compiling this set, I tried to keep in mind that this was intended to be listened to in the deepest and darkest of the night. But it is not a 'sleep set', due to the variety of moods and atmospheres. It's a celebration of the dark of night that can be enjoyed at any time - every time you're in the mood for a moment (or 2 hours) of unhurried immersiveness.

Upon Departure

When I first heard Christine Ott's Comma, I felt that this piece should be the starting point of a new mix. In the end, it became the final piece of the same mix - somewhat a movie's intro and end credits.I did not start this mix with a specific theme in mind. Its title only occurred to me after it was completed because it reflected its mood: a somewhat melancholy journey that fits the end of this remarkable year.

I'm very honoured to present this collaboration mix with Dave Michuda from Low Light Mixes, who has been a source of inspiration from the very beginning of Ambientblog.net. When we talked (or rather: mailed, since Wisconsin and Holland are not exactly near) about creating a mix together, we chose not to go for a 'simple' back-to-back exchange but gave ourselves an objective without knowing where this would lead to:5 minutes each turn. Start with a 5minute track, increase the sample count each turn (next turn 2, next turn 3, next turn 4…) until we reach 60 minutes… (last 5 minutes contain 6 samples each turn). See what happens.

If you listen back, most of my mixes have a rather dark edge to them. There's always a lot of 'tension/release' - but in this case, it seems there's a bit more 'tension' than 'release'. Sign of the times, probably…I tried to find another name (and image) for this mix, but it seems that only one title remained appropriate at this time.I'm very proud that this mix is also published on Dave Michuda's great Low Light Mixes blog.

Winter Solstice
dimanche 22 décembre 2019 • Duration 01:59:56
A two-hour mix for the longest night: Winter Solstice. To be played (and hopefully enjoyed) in the deepest darkness. "Dream All The Dark Away" ... --- originally published on Ambientblog ---
December 21 is the longest night in the Northern hemisphere. It marks the start of Winter (even though it is also called "Midwinter"), but gradually the nights will slowly get shorter as to indicate spring will be coming, eventually. For the 2019 Winter Solstice, Dutch Radio station Concertzender Nederland programmed an 8-hour ambient music special from 23:00 until 07:00 (11pm to 7am). That's a good night's sleep for most people! My contribution was scheduled to close the night: from 05:00 to 07:00 (5am to 7am).
For the context of this ambient night, I created a mix that is somewhat different from most Ambientblog.net mixes - after all, this was intended to be broadcast in the deepest hours of the darkest night of the year. So this one is more drone-oriented for the most part, slower, less 'dynamic' and less 'intense'.

Radical Candor
mardi 2 juillet 2019 • Duration 58:52
The mix title, Radical Candor, comes from the (management) philosophy that argues that feedback (on behaviour) is most effective if it is 'challenging' but at the same time shows that you 'care'. I felt there was a resemblance: the mix is 'caring' at times but can also be quite 'challenging' to the listener. At least, that was my intention. Now you decide. --- originally published on Ambientblog ---
A word of warning first. This is not an ambient mix intended to relax or create a calm atmosphere. Also, it is not a showcase with full album tracks. It is a 'create-your-own-movie' soundtrack with some rather intense climaxes.And 42 track fragments in less than one hour - almost none of those in full length: all tracks are cut-up, fragmented, edited, layered and re-assembled (but never altered sonically) - like creating a collage from torn pictures. This also means that none of the parts represents the artists' original intention (I hope they still can appreciate what I do here). For further exploration, the release details of the fragments are provided so you can check out the original full versions and support the artist wherever possible.

Delusional
dimanche 6 janvier 2019 • Duration 59:43
"For me, personally, a mix has the most impact when it feels like I'm watching a movie. With ups, downs, some drama, sentiment, moment of joy, climax and anticlimax. And yes: tension and release." --- originally published on Ambientblog ---
When I started working on this mix, its working title was Wonderlust, simply because I liked that word: a variation on wanderlust ('a desire to travel') which the Urban Dictionary describes as 'the desire to be in a constant state of wonder'.But as the mix progressed, the title didn't fit very well. There were too many dark and unsettling moments... moment that may evoke their own 'state of wonder' but of a completely different kind. The Questions in Anja Garbarek's track are crucial to this mix and gave it its title: a few simple questions to diagnose severe psychotic disorders, a delusional state of mind. There may be quite a few of these delusional moments in this mix, but they are alternated with moments of joy in an almost melodramatical equilibrium.
