Listed below are some mix CD’s and tapes that I have made. Feel free to copy them or to search for certain songs that are listed here. A good way to locate what album these songs are from is http://freedb.org. I think the mix is not only an art form but also a tool and a calling card. The manner in which music can be strategically placed alongside other music highlights tones and elevates moods. With each successive song of a carefully-crafted mix, the segues are stairs that lead to emotional cues. Even more powerful is a mix in which the songs are new and unfamiliar. In these situations we not only learn about new music to seek out but we also experience a sentimental tattoo that burns-in our mind. Only the most dangerous surgery can remove the emotions that new music instills in us. That is why certain mixes have certain purposes, for instance reminding us of a certain place or a certain person or theme.
Please feel free to email me if you’d like to do a 1:1 mix exchange…
