    Good morning, and welcome to your Tuesday. I have a special entry in Headphone Commute’s Podcast series for you today. And if you’re just getting around to enjoying these, let me remind you that we have 325+ others available directly when you subscribe to the podcast, or you can download them from our offline archive (going back to 2009!). Anyway, it is not just a mix but an entire label showcase of Mathias Van Eecloo‘s amazing LAAPS imprint, covering releases in the last two years (2022-2023). I’ve hosted the first such showcase two years ago, so be sure to check out LAAPS 2020-2021 mix as well. Oh, and Mathias was generous enough to throw in a few IIKKI releases in there as well (just check out this tracklist!), so this is truly a compilation of some of the best experimental ambient albums from both of his fantastic labels, continuously mixed exclusively for you! As always, if you enjoy what you hear, please support the featured artists, and in this case, the labels as well!

    To conclude this wonderful set of mixes, here's Part 6 of Roel Funcken's Gorreliann Plasebant

    Today, we conclude the 9+ hour mix by Roel Funcken with its sixth and final part. It's been a real journey, exactly as predicted, connecting time in a single, comforting, and beautiful stretch of sonic weave. If you pay attention to the track listing, you will notice how Funcken threaded pieces from repeating artists (sometimes even a few from the same release) to create a cohesive musical voyage, along with his expertly practised touch of additional post-processing to get it all nicely glued together. As promised, you can enjoy these instalments in a single long-playing track, which Funcken originally shared on his Soundcloud account under a different name. You can stream this and even download it here (I'll post the link to the full mix in the comments). Meanwhile, if you enjoyed your time with us, please support the featured artists and labels!

    Re: Ambient sets

    With more reflective,introspective musings, here's Pt 5 of this sublime ambient series of mixes..



    ASC - Nothing to Lose
    Taylor Deupree - Autum
    ‘t Geruis - Sweet Tumult, Love You Autumn Child
    Solo Andata - Dawn Chorus
    Markus Guentner - Magnetar
    Abul Mogard - Black Dust
    Florian T M Zeisig - Dad Is Painting Again
    Sonmi451 - White Horses On The Waves
    ASC - (Event #4)
    r beny - glisten
    Marcus Fischer - Home
    Taylor Deupree - Sundown

    Arriving at part five of a 9+ hour ambient mix by Roel Funcken, I am exactly with it as intended. This is a continuous ambient journey, serving as a bridge between fragmented times, uniting days and months into a single voyage. For a while, I’ve had an image in my mind as if we all move in a circle, approaching seasons in their respective physical locations (winter is on top), traversing time as we rotate on the perimeter. I wonder where it’s from? Perhaps they showed me that in elementary school, and it stuck. Do you, as well, have that peculiar perception? But what if we stand still and time moves through us like a tape? An endless river of events arrives from the unknown into the present and finally recedes into the past. And we are nothing but observers… You can find the previous four parts right here. I’ll see you on the other side!

    Wil Bolton - Edges
    blochemy - mane

    We're almost halfway through the series, and today, I'm publishing the fourth instalment of this 6-part mix by Roel Funcken. How are you getting on with it? Don't forget that I'll share the full, uninterrupted, 9+ hour continuous journey once this podcast series is completed. I can tell you that I've personally listened more than a couple of times to each entry, noticing the tiny nuances that are the handiwork of Funcken, who is not only the selector but also the navigator of this trip but is also a bit of a producer behind the transitions - not only using volume to fade in and out but also a few time-based effects here and there (delay, reverb, etc.) to create seamless transitions between each piece. It's not something you usually notice in mixes, but I can tell you that Funcken has consistently been doing that in his. As usual, please enjoy responsibly and support the featured artists! Don't forget to visit the site and see what else we're up to!

    September’s upon us, and just as predicted, this third part of the 9+ hour "Gorreliann Plasebant" mix by Roel Funcken serves as a type of bond, creating continuation in a somewhat fragmented turn of events. As if on cue, the temperature dropped, and the weather has changed, and the sunshine and warmth are somewhere in the memory, recalled through some words and, of course, through this music. There are lots of great pieces on here as well, painting the Autumn sky with the colours of sound, and as usual with these travels, I should let all these tracks do the talking instead. Once again, the azure gorgeous sphere is courtesy of the original artwork created by Funcking with acrylic paint. And yes, once I finish the series, I will share the mix in its entirety. As usual, please enjoy responsibly and support the featured artists! Don't forget to visit the site and see what else we're up to!

    Re: Ambient sets

    A mix centered on Icelandic artists....think of the usual suspects...Sigur Ros, Bjork, Yagya, Johann Johannsson and more

    Think modern classical, keys, strings and sprinkles of electronica...

    A diverse, interesting mix...really, really lovely

    For the Love of Iceland - Low Light Mixes



    Sigur Rós - Blóđberg (ÁTTA 2023)
    Jóhann Jóhannsson - A Prayer to the Dynamo pt. 1 (Spectral Symphony 2023)
    Friđţjófur Johnson - Black Sand Blues
    Rökkurró - Svanur (Í Annan Heim 2010)
    Björk - Vokuro (Medulla 2004)
    Ólafur Arnalds feat Ella McRobb - And we'll leave it there (2023)
    Valgeir Sigurđsson - Eva's Lament (Kvika 2021)
    Kiasmos - Looped (Kiasmos 2014)
    Friđţjófur Johnson - Sambólúsí
    Yagya - The Downpour (Faded Photographs 2023)
    Múm - Faraway Swimmingpool (Finally We Are No One 2002)
    Frakkur - Dream Fyrir John (Pling pong)
    Ruxpin & Stafrćnn Hákon - Dark Rift (Meet Me In Forever 2023)
    Jóhann Jóhannsson - Stuk (Elegy for Lost Time 2023)
    Ólafur Arnalds - Spiral (some kind of peace 2020)

    I just got back from a week in Iceland so naturally I had to make a mix with music from Icelandic artists. The usual suspects are here - Sigur Ros, Johann Johannsson, Bjork, Olafur Arnalds, along with some new additions. It still boggles my mind that the tiny island has produced such amazing music. But now, having been there, I guess it makes a bit more sense because the place is unique. The landscape and spirit seeps into your mind and body like hot water through porous volcanic rock. It's impossible not to fall in love with the people and the natural beauty. Hopefully this mix can be your own mini vaca to Iceland. Cheers! The tracklist is in the comments.

    It is Tuesday morning, and perhaps you’re on your way to work. Or maybe you’re already in front of the computer reading through those emails that can surely ruin your day. Or perhaps you’re just waking up to all the possibilities this day may come to offer. Being open to the “good” and the “bad” without colouring these with your expectations and simply watching things unfold — the way a flower would without judgment. To help you onboarding for your day (even if you’re not listening to this on another Tuesday morning), I’ve got a second part of Roel Funcken‘s Gorreliann Plasebant mix, which I am publishing in six parts over the upcoming weeks, as we transition into another season. Once again, I want to point your eye to the beautiful original artwork created by Funcken himself using acrylic paint and point your ear to his skill at seamlessly transitioning between the selected pieces, taking us on a gorgeous journey through another Tuesday morning. Enjoy!

    A reflective, contemplative mix...sublime ambience

    "A mix to mark the end of the summer season, and the coming of autumn. It’s a dreamy and eclectic selection of dark ambience, haunting drones, fuzzy electronica, cinematic modern classical, immersive sound art and ethereal soundscapes - bookended by the two songs that comprise my brand new EP"

As the title suggests, this is an ambient guest mix to mark the end of the summer season, and the coming of autumn. It’s a dreamy and eclectic selection of dark ambience, haunting drones, fuzzy electronica, cinematic modern classical, immersive sound art and ethereal soundscapes - bookended by the two songs that comprise my brand new EP - ‘The Outer Banks’. ‘The Outer Banks’ is out now on the label Frosti, and is available both digitally and on limited edition cassette tape. https://frostilabel.bandcamp.com/album/the-outer-banks And you can find the rest of my discography at : www.thelonelybell.bandcamp.com The tracklist is in the comments.
