Waterways Transmission 10

Sunday December 17th 2017
7:00 pm—9:00 pm

This one had some messy notes, maybe you’ll find them entertaining. Transmission 10 and the few previous to it all seemed to draw for a few core inspirations, DJ Koze’s Pampa label and its various compilations, Weyes Blood and her overall inspiring nature, and Nils Frahm. You will seem all 3 of the popup again and again for the mixes prior to, and after this one.

Field recordings continue to span the usual three records (Solitudes Vol. 4, Deep Voices [affectionately “Wales”] and Waterways) but I thought I’d list them in the way they are listed in my notes, just for fun.

  • Solitudes Vol 4 – Side A – seagulls at 1/2” from start
  • Waterfall at around 1inch, sol. Vol. 4
  • Birds chirping
  • Birds with lots of reverb
  • Solitudes – Vol 4 Side A – Seagulls
  • Waves
  • Deep Voices – drifting off
  • Waves
  • Waterways 19:51 about 1 inch in at rain
  • Wales

Set length: 1:39:36
