MIXTAPE
Max Richter [Vivaldi] - Four Seasons
The concerto you've a million times as you've never heard it before.
Ólafur Arnalds
For when you're in flow (also, listen to him live in concert and enjoy his [perhaps] accidentally hilarious stories between songs! wait for the whale in the bathtub story . . .)
Ludovico Einaudi
Anything and everything by Ludovico Einaudi. Start here.
Iambear
It sounds how Iceland feels.
Erik Satie - Gnossienne No. 1
Under umbrella on rainy streets of 19th century France.
Alexandre DesPlat River
All things DesPlat are wonderful.
Shigeru Umebayashi - In the Mood for Love
I've never seen this Japanese movie, but I imagine it to be the most haunting romance ever.
Paradis - Recto Verso
Jovial French low-fi. The whole entire album.
Ryuichi Sakamoto & Alvo Noto - The Revenant
Low resonance.
Matthew Schoening - Emotional Clockwork
Infinite loop and recursion.
Clann's Seelie
Universal pulse.
Agnes Obel - The Curse
Soft, undulating, harmonic.
Fejká
Dulcet tones.
Devorzhum - Dead Can Dance
Melancholic World Beat with a soothing Eastern rhythm.
Jamie XX - I Don't Know
Hypnotic club beat.
Ayub Ogada - Kothbiro (from the Constant Gardener)
Literally "rain is coming" Dholuo. Soul saddening and soothing.
Two Lanes - Live from Málaga, Spain
Neat, clean, tempo EDM.
Music is the soundtrack to our lives, work, and to our waking dreams. I only played an instrument (the clarinet) briefly in elementary school and failed to see past the ornery, uninspired ways of my 4th grade teacher to persevere. However, I've been a lover of music all my life, particularly classical, film music, world beat, and EDM. Music is to the ears what photography is to the eyes. Here's a sampling of music that inspires my creativity, my heart, and my soul.
Music is to the ears what photography is to the eyes. Together, they fill the soul.
