Ambient mix I compiled for the Perseid meteor shower this August. It is perfect for those nights under the stars outside the city, closer to the rest of the Universe. The mix is overall atmospheric, but have some vocal tunes also - some of them a bit surprising. The blend of the atmospheric tracks, vocal tracks (choir, actually) and cricket sounds are carrying universal peace. With Baraka by Michael Stearns we are just leaving the Earth. The Sun by Andrew Deutsch is an interesting element - the track is actually heavily transformed, modulated and blended sounds of ocean weaves. Xibalba is the most unusual track here - with it's orchestral music it is quite different, but the sound and feelings it brings it contributes greatly for our space journey. By the way watch the movie "The Fountain" from where this track is - great movie! We go back to the atmospheric and gradually add more electronic instruments with classics from Jarre and Vangelis until we reach the near end with Agnus Dei by Samuel Barber - music form Heaven itself. That choral part is the peak of our journey, revealing the vastness and greatness of the Cosmos. At the end we flow slowly into the sounds of ocean waves from Steve Roach's The Return - landing back on Earth after an hour of journey in space. Hope you enjoy it!
