I See What I See (12)

 

This is one of my personal favourite mixes that I posted for my 'Year of Music' series in 2022, mainly because I think that the flow and atmospherics just came together really well and it felt like I'd really nailed an ambient mix. As these things go, it didn't get much attention, I didn't push it well and it didn't get any reposts by larger accounts. It is what it is, and it doesn't stop me from enjoying it and I still feel pleased with it when I listen to it regardless of the low play counts and interest. I pulled together a mix I felt (dare I say it) proud of.

 

The image is the same photo I used originally, just with a slight edit to take care of the new title. This was originally #12 in my 'Year of Music' series and I named it 'I see what I see' which is a line from the Jeff Bridges spoken word track that I used in the mix, where he speaks about what he does when he has trouble sleeping. This photo was taken during a bike trip through Europe in 2022 and it's a car park next to the train station in the stunningly beautiful town of Grindelwald. The way it was lit, the industrial nature of it, settled the valley of the most stunning landscape, it just seemed like a juxtaposition I needed to make use of somehow.
