Forbidden Colours - A Tribute to Ryuichi Sakamoto

https://www.mixcloud.com/lowlight/forbidden-colours-a-tribute-to-ryuichi-sakamoto/

Another musical great has left this world. Ryuichi Sakamoto was a founding member of Yellow Magic Orchestra. He became well known for his neo-classical work, his collaborations, and of course his film scores, from Merry Christmas Mr. Lawrence to The Revenant to the Oscar-winning score for The Last Emperor. The solo piano version of Merry Christmas Mr. Lawrence is one of my favorite piano pieces ever written and it's the first piece we hear in this mix. Please enjoy this tribute to Ryuichi Sakamoto and his music.

Re: Ambient sets

Just wonderful, almost playful in part with some gorgeous ambience (released in 2023) here folks..

Current Ambient Obsessions

https://www.mixcloud.com/lowlight/current-ambient-obsessions/

This mix is pretty straightforward - it's a collection of tracks from some of my favorite ambient albums, so far, of 2023. The first three tracks are probably my top three albums of the year so far and I expect them to be on my year-end list in December. There's not much else to say, just sit back and enjoy some excellent ambient music. Tracklist is in the comments.

Re: Ambient sets

A really lovely mix here folks with the deep and contemplative sounds of Inhmost - reminiscent of Carbon Based Lifeforms...wonderful

Re: Ambient sets

Feeling nostalgic? then look no further...

A planned series of mixes from Low Light Mixes to reflect electronic music and a precursor to ambience from the 1970s...

Can't believe how fresh some of these tracks still sound

Kraftwerk - Ruckzuck (Kraftwerk)
Oskar Sala - In Leichtem Marsch-Rhythmus (Electronic Virtuosity)
Suzanne Ciani - Tenth Voice: Sound of a Lighted Window (Voices of Packaged Souls)
Tangerine Dream - Genesis (Electronic Meditation)
Popol Vuh - Affenstunde(excerpt 1) (Affenstunde)
Doug McKechnie - Berkeley Art Museum (San Francisco Moog: 1968-72)
Popol Vuh - Affenstunde(excerpt 2) (Affenstunde)
Philip Glass - Music with Changing Parts (Music with Changing Parts)
Mart Garson - Kevin & Paige (Didn't You Hear?)
Amon D��l II - Yeti Talks To Yogi(Improvisation) (Yeti)
King Crimson - The Devils Triangle (In The Wake of Poseidon)
Tangerine Dream - Cold Smoke (Electronic Meditation)
Suzanne Ciani - Twelth Voice: Sound of Love Turning (Voices of Packaged Souls)
Sylvette Allart - Berceuse du faon (Pour Ondes Martenot)

Electronic Music - 1970

https://www.mixcloud.com/lowlight/electronic-music-1970/

The Plan - make a mix for every year of the 70s, featuring electronic music from each year. Easy peasy! Well, not exactly. The early years are a bit tough. Electronic music wasn't really a genre yet. There are definitely electronic albums. But enough to fill an hour long mix? Maybe...sort of. Let me start by saying that some folks may disagree with my choices as I tried to fill out the tracklist. There may be some creative finagling in the mixes for the early years. But really, who cares? This is just a fun way to dive deep into the rise of electronic music. In the early sets you'll hear plenty of krautrock or kosmische music. Bands like Popol Vuh, Amon Duul II, Can, and Ash Ra Temple fit that category and make appearances in the first two mixes. Even Tangerine Dream in these years is barely "electronic." The more I listen to this set the more I like it. The unexpected tracks and artists made for a fun journey. Tracklist is in the comments

Lost In Transmission

https://www.mixcloud.com/lowlight/lost-in-transmission/

I love making shortwave mixes, so it's hard to believe it's been almost 11 years since my last new shortwave creation. Yikes! I know these mixes are labor intensive and I am a terrible procrastinator but I am shocked that it's been that long. This mix is a combo of real shortwave broadcasts, tracks that have broadcasts already embedded, and tracks that have that scratchy, radio feel. Most of the straight radio broadcasts come from Myke Dodge Weiskopf. I've been using his recordings for years. You can find his stuff here - https://www.myke.me/ Two of my favorite cuts in this mix are by Mount Shrine from the album Shortwave Ruins. https://cryochamber.bandcamp.com/album/shortwave-ruins It's a perfect combo of ambience, drone, and radio chatter. Mount Shrine is Cesar Alexandre, who sadly passed away in 2021. His two tracks in this mix fit the vibe perfectly. I hope you enjoy the washes of static and voices from the ether. Tracklist is in the comments.

International Piano Day is March 29th and, as has been the case for the last five years, I've put together a new mix in celebration of ambient piano tunes. I don't do quite as many piano mixes as I once did but when I create these Piano Day sets, I find I really enjoy the vibe. There are a lot of new tracks in the mix, half of them from 2022 & 2023. But there are a few older tunes as well. I really like how this one turned out. I hope you enjoy the latest Piano Day excursion. Tracklist is in the comments.
